The Lost Plum…

So I need to talk about something that has been driving me crazy for months. Something I’ve been seeing time and time again when I watch mindless TV and it just makes me want to cock punch someone while screaming “Allez Cuisine!”

I’ve talked about commercials before. I’m bothered by a commercial that deal with “female issues”, I just am. I’ve talked before on how I don’t like the women in most of them, and then I talked about how some point out how stupid the female population is. But this one takes the cake on pointing out how stupid/dumb/ridiculous the female population can be.

Bayer has come out with a new ad champagne that encourages women to learn more about their birth control. This comes off the back of them being sued millions of dollars for apparently not adequately informing women about the health risks.

Ok first off, if you take any medications you should know what it is, how it works, how it affects your body and interacts with other drugs you take. Your health should always be number one. You need to understand how stuff works. That’s “Living 101.”

Anyways, so although I agree that it’s good of Bayer to let you know that you should take control of your health I have an issue with their commercials. A huge issue.

If you haven’t seen the commercial in question let me break it down for you. There are these women who are blind folded feeling a rhinoceros.  They touch the rhino all over and are trying to figure out what they are touching.

These women give the absolute dumbest answers that one could ever say while feeling up a living breathing moving rhino!  Answers given include: a wall, a rope, a pipe, and my all time favorite is the stupid chick who get’s ear slapped in the hand by a rhino and guesses… A BRUSH!

WTF?!  Where are all these stupid women coming from!  At least I’m glad someone is trying to make sure they all know how to use birth control correctly, cause God forbid these dumb ass chicks get pregnant and start procreating…..that is if they can read the pregnancy test.

Oh here’s the link to the commercial so you can watch for yourself.

Oh and if you like, dislike, agree, disagree, or want to cock punch me over this opinion (or me in general) you should check LostPlum (that’s me) out tonight from 10-11pm EST. on Shivio.com because I’m going to be a guest on Abiola on LSD: Love, Sex, Dating. The show is hosted by the ever amazing, always funny, constantly sexy Abiola Abrams!  It’s going to be hot hot hot.  You can watch, listen, chat, and even beam in….with me!

I was watching the Tyra Show yesterday. They had some guy who wrote some book about scientific facts and findings in regards to relationships.

To be honest I couldn’t tell you what the book was called or who he was or everything they talked about in the hour or however long that show is on.

The fact is I like background noise on when I work, and I usually have the TV on rather then music, I think because I care less about the TV then I do about my music.

Anyways, during a part of the show they asked multiple-choice questions about dealing of relationships, and then he would give the scientific answer (the only true answer as he put it, you know cause science is factual ALL the time)

They had questions like, what to wear to bed, who should pay for a date/outing, and so on…

But one question made me question “science”, and not just science but people.

The question was: If you don’t feel like having sex with your partner one night and they really want to you should either A) grin and bear it B) pretend to fall asleep or C) bribe them with something (ie. they take you some place, buy you something, do the dishes)

Now we are all entitled to our opinions, and I am in no way going to say which one is the one I’d pick. Cause fact of the matter is I have issues with all these options!

Grin and Bear it?! Really. If you are in any relationship where you have to grin and bear sex then you are lacking in the communication department. And if your communication department is broken, I hate to say it but your relationship is broken.

Now pretending to fall asleep is just ridiculous. Straight up!

Now compromising is one thing, but last time I checked compromising wasn’t the same as bribing. If you are with someone who needs you to agree to take out the trash or do dishes or take them on vacation to have sex, I feel bad for you. Sex should not be compromised and brided for. You know who bribes for sex? Prostitutes!

What happened to being honest? What’s wrong with saying “I don’t feel like having sex”? Nothing wrong with not wanting sex all the time (I don’t get that, but I’ll buy it, and appreciate the honesty)

How is honesty not a scientifically proven right answer? This is what is wrong with our world. Honesty is not the best policy when it comes to sex, and that means it’s not the best policy period. Because frankly we all know sex drives the world.

Oh and in case you were wondering if you turned to science for the right answer it would be C) bribe your partner to do stuff for you, before you do “stuff” to them!

The SADDEST thing about this  Jon and Kate +8 news happening right now.

Her Hair!

FACT: If I ever have hair like that (or even highlights/lowlights like that) you have permission to not only cheat but to have a whole other “better” family! and maybe just run me over in one of those monster vans that can fit 8 kids.

I would never say I watch alot of TV. I have like maybe 3 shows I like to see, but if I miss them I wont die. I don’t miss things because I have to watch something in real time.  

I’ve always been more of the “season watching” kind of gal.  A bad weather weekend sitting inside watching the entire season or sometimes series (I’ll admit it) of a single show. Pure JOY!  And if it’s HBO or Showtime, even better!

However, I do sometimes enjoy the reality shows.  It makes me in a way hate american culture, and sometimes happy that I’m not an american.  Only american’s have such trash on TV.  

And on that note, I also love watching series premieres.  Regardless of the show type or how bad it sounds, I almost always DVR the first ever episode…cause honestly sometimes you just don’t know.

Well tonight I came home, it was late, but I thought why not sit down have some tea and watch alittle TV.

I should have gone to bed!  

I settled on true Television Dysfunction tonight.

Now I’m not a big VH1 fan, and I’m not big into the dating/relationship shows, so tonight I was alittle out of my regular tv element.

SHOW IN QUESTION: Daisy of Love

I started off alittle lost, but lucky for me they had a wonderful catch you up on what’s going on montage in all it’s STD magic! 

So Rock of Love Season 2 (I can’t beleive they had two of those, and in fact there might even be more!) So Bret Micheals apparently picked some “skank” named Ambre (?) over Daisy, and thus in true VH1 form like all great STD’s Daisy de la Hoya gets her very own show! (proceed at your own risk)

VH1 has found an interesting flock of seagulls to keep her (and I guess us) entertained. The guys were named based on her first impressions, and with names like Chi Chi, Big Rig,86, Flipper…here just look for yourself!

Something about the Swedish Twins or wait I’m sorry Triplets that look like they fell off a WhiteSnake tour bus (circa 1980s), the guy with the 4 Grammy Nods (THIS YEAR*apperently* ), and the token ADHD boy, this ‘circus’ is hotter then the Britney’s tampon string in concert!

Now after about 15-20 minutes I wasn’t interested, and I wasn’t even ammused, so I turned it off.  BUT if you enjoy yourself some laughs, some tats, some tears, some screams, some crab-infestations, and some steroid pumped guys kicking the shit out of the skinny emo guys then buckle up, this show is for you! But may I suggest wearing protection while watching!

(reason #___ why I’m single: It’s late on a sunday and I spent it watching that)

(reason #___ why I’m single: I actually googled to find a site with all their pictures)

I was sick of Netflixs instant choices, done with my hulu que (and then some) and wide awake.  I decide to check out ABC.com, maybe watch alittle tv.  As I figured out what to watch (some terrible episode of some show guaranteed to put me to sleep)  Now I click on the show, and am prompted to download  ABC’s plug-in to be able to watch.  And as I read the information associated with the plug-in, I had to laugh alittle bit and maybe love ABC alittle more.

Under the title : Why Do I Need To Install Something?

it says in the second line:  WE COULD GO ON, BUT IT GETS TECHNICAL AND BORING FROM HERE.

This is the only reason I actually DID install their plug-in.  Oh ABC.com I love the fact that you don’t want to bore me with all your technical aspects!  We might have the perfect relationship! I look forward to our dates to come!
