Update: Easily one of the single most disgusting things I’ve seen in a long while. I can’t believe they found a doctor who would perform the procedure. They need to reinstate the Hippocratic Oath.
To get that taste out of your mouth – a humongous ginormous frickin’ rabbit.
**** Now on to the regularly scheduled programming****
This breaking news in from the DailyMailOnline… thank God it made Cruel Wife cringe.
Forget Viagra, scientists develop what women REALLY want, a spray to make their men cuddle more
… it seems the chemical can make a man ‘feel’ like a woman.
God help us all. They go on in gory detail.
Afterwards the men were shown heart-wrenching photographs including a little girl in tears, a child embracing a cat and a man in mourning, and asked them to describe the level of empathy they felt with those in the pictures.
‘The oxytocin group showed significantly higher emotional empathy levels than those men who had taken the placebo,’ said Dr Rene Hurlemann, of the Friedrich-Wilhelms University of Bonn.
In fact, he added, they reached the ‘levels of sensitivity usually found in females’.
The finding raises the tantalising possibility that women could use oxytocin sprays to help macho boyfriends and husbands get in touch with their feminine side.
Chauvinists could be turned into sensitive souls happy to watch weepy films and critique outfits on shopping trips.
Almost as scary as the idea itself is the crap the Daily Mail is churning out here. They are peddling mass hysteria and naturally progressing to where we men are going to run away screaming like little girls to avoid losing our masculinity.
THIS is the best Cruel Wife could hope for…
Scott Adams has been way ahead of anybody’s time on these things though. I tried his site’s autogenerated embed code to hotlink his graphics but I had to truncate the html to get wordpress to show them. (So, Scott – if I’m doing this wrong, let me know and I’ll fix it, K?)

Inscrutable Half-Breed, a co-worker, sent this on… I quote him here verbatim:
Apparently, Pacific Interpreters felt it necessary to go to the trouble of writing this letter to inform this guy that they would have fired him if he hadn’t already been in the process of being fired. A beautiful illustration of why I don’t like HR people. His response is perfect.
I wonder, when a victim of such mad feminist conspiracy hits the 28 day cycle, if he’ll lose his last inch of sanity and have a built in excuse for nagging, whining and general crabbiness. I also wonder, if she’ll understand and let him be or if she’ll double the dosage.
So, if one were to use that spray and fondle oneself, can one sue oneself for sexual harassment and collect a huge windfall?
I’m not worth suing. $47.53 just isn’t worth picking up the phone.
Oh, GAG!!!
I think I’m the last female on this planet to have NEVER watched Sleepless in Seattle. Who wants a wuss for a man?
BC–it was the brits who thought this up right?
Then, of course you could. You’d get a bunch of cash, a new house, new car, and all the psych meds you need “to recover” for life.
LK, the art is superb–especially since I know you dashed it off in seconds. Talent….dammit.
And yes, I’m still working on my identity crisis. This may be the one–we’ll see.
Aw gosh, thanks guys.
cb – get ahold of yourself man! That is, if you’re allowed to be one for very long. I’d come over and slap you but I’m not sure the government minders wouldn’t give me a few spritzes just to keep me docile.
Whoa! Prison control! A light misting every hour of this stuff and even Max institutions could go min-security.
I like “Monster”. Have you thought about “Membrane”, “Road Pizza”, or “The Rabid Turnip”?
I saw this, too. I want to try it and see if it makes the hub less like Dexter. I don’t want a woman, but I’d like someone who has a feeling other than anger, apathy or beumed curiosity once in awhile.
On a more serious note, I think this is actually pretty appalling. Why on earth would anyone want a member of the he-man woman-haters club to become more like a woman? We need that difference.
What’s wrong with Dexter?
Ok, besides being a self-proclaimed monster and the whole “dark passenger” thing. But you gotta give him credit for looking after the kids…
I like the fired guy’s response!
Total lack of acknowledgment of anything said in the HR letter, and a serious nose-thumbing and mooning to boot!
And it looked like it had decent recipes, too.
“If you must go to the gallows give a jest to the crowd, a tip to the hangman, and make the drop with a smile on your lips.”
