Scared of birds

Hahaha I am loving all these butch *blokes* running scared of feminism. Michael Buerk's programme was hilarious last night - the basic line was that because women are "involved with 80% of consumer purchases" (spurious figure spouted by King Twonk Dylan Jones), our whole culture is going to turn itself inside out trying to acommodate their fluffy little whims and caprices, directly resulting in the end of art, science and civilisation itself. Buuuerk is pretty convinced that feminism has turned "vengeful", and is forcing us poor men into "metrosexuality and moisturisers" at the expense of "real masculine values of courage, risk-taking and single-mindedness". "New Lad" Piers Hernu was quite funny though, saying something along the lines of "Women aren't interested in engineering and numbers and building things and slabs of heavy metal. Why should they be? It's not their department. Anyway who'd want a plane designed on women's principals? Like, with one wing bigger than the other 'because it looks pretty'?".

Hilarious dinosaurs: John McCrirrick. The Hells Clarksons (as steve_stride so appositely called them) - the legions of middle aged twonks with too much money who've bought a bike too big for them and go out on it with their blue denim-look shirts tucked over their guts into their jeans. Piers Morgan. A nation of leery sad old twats. Pat Robertson (the evangelist who wants Hugo Chavez "taken out") on feminism: "It encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism and become lesbians."

Maybe they're not dinosaurs. Maybe they've seeded their psychic gene code in a new generation of brains through the power of Nuts'n'Zoo. Either way, silly knobends. All I know is that the fear and stupidity in that programme last night was properly hilarious. Ricky Gervaise couldn't have written less self-aware characters.

DO YOU WANT MICHAEL BUERK ON YOUR SIDE?
