The last comment for me in this thread. The original video is not demeaning to women. That video is not trying to tear the female gender down. Yes they make a generalization in the title but we can all distinguish that the two women in the library are not the majority of women. For example, if my fiancee talked like that she would not be my fiancee. I think Onciest said it best, it is the crazy random factor. Its sketch comedy just like SNL, MADtv, Chappelles show. Those of you who find this demeaning must not find Sarah Silverman funny in the slightest, while I think she is one of the best female comedians of our time.

I am now reminded of "dick in a box" search on youtube if you want. Its an SNL skit. Premise is about the same as the original video here.

lol now I am reminded of Chapelle shows "piss on you" R Kelly sketch. Search for that one to.
and for the record these are only coming to mind due to similar planes with the original video

Lets face it, well I wouldnt be chatting about crap in a library anyway BUT if a guy pee'd in my face hed never pee again lol

And the babies? YUK lol, ok ok ive given birth and love my kid, but I definately miss that 'ohh babies are cute' thing

I did see the humour in it though, the talking ruined it but.. * tries to explain*

Ever been a bit annoyed at a stranger? Bangs that shopping trolley in your hip but says nothing? It hurts like mad, but they have a cheesy smile knowing it hurt?

You kinda think hmmmm, and imagin what you would like to do to them?

Well, I saw the gag like that, they played out the worst case scenario on revenge.

Thats the way I saw it! Nothing to do with sexism, just mild fantasy

Quoted for truth.
These two win 1000 internets in regards to their opinions.


The most truest and right comments in this thread. Thanks a lot you two, I now have a new found respect for humour. It is clear now, you need to have the "eye" for it.

Clearly a bit dated (because these days the two girls should each talk into their cellphones to be even more annoying than depicted), but IMHO the video it just a graphic representation of
the idea to piss off someone who pisses you off.

Not more and not less.

Fun (like art) lies in the eye of the beholder.
You can see that quite clearly when looking back eg. on the outrage about some caricatures about various religious leaders.

And yes, i raise my hand when it comes to laughing about that one, because it shows a absurd and overlooked but quite obvious (given the word game i see in it) plus relatively violence-free (compared to other suggested solutions shown in the media to such a situation) approach to the depicted problem.

And i guess we all had some fantasies about excessive violence against someone who pisses us off.

At minimum it is better that the usual advertising clip which tries to fry my brain to make me buy shit i don't need for no reason.

Since no animals were harmed in the creation of the movie - so what?

And should i am the only person here to see it that way - so be it. Have had different views than others before today too.
