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!

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!

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’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)

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!

So as I watch it right now, and she is discussing the soon to be death of her cat. I’m thinking about the sadness that is my depressing  non-cat-filled life.

I’m watching TV on DVD which I’ve seen at least 5 times, eating cereal, and twittering while writing this.

(reason #___why I’m single: I think cereal is a food group on it’s own)

He’s going to give us alot of CRAP but the comeback will be sweet!

(It’s just might take some time and judging by how bad ‘dollhouse’ is that scares me! Scares me, but not as much as the BVS “Hush” Gentlemen…ekkk!)

*This comeback is not to be confused with that of Robert D. Jr. that was personal crap, we’re talking work crap here……

Now the idea of Global warming isn’t new.  Even some of our favourite 80/90s sitcoms touched on the sensitive issues (Doogie Howser, Blossom, Picket Fences, Full House, Saved By the Bell, Family Matters….the list goes on)

The scientific community has reached a strong consensus regarding the science of global climate change. The world is undoubtedly warming! It is a fact! This warming is largely the result of emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from human activities including industrial processes, fossil fuel combustion, and changes in land use, such as deforestation. Continuation of historical trends of greenhouse gas emissions will result in additional warming over the 21st century, with current projections of a global increase of 2.5ºF to 10.4ºF by 2100, with warming in North America especially the US expected to be even higher. This warming will have real consequences for us and the world, for with that warming will also come additional sea-level rise that will gradually inundate coastal areas, changes in precipitation patterns, increased risk of droughts and floods, threats to biodiversity, and a number of potential challenges for public health. 

So as the polar bears begin to drown and die in the rising arctic waters (From A: ice melting and B: the fact that sea water expands when it is heated), as the heat waves, hurricanes, tornado’s, and floods kill our friends, family’s and neighbors. As warmer weather creates better breading grounds for mosquitoes who then increase the number of blood meals they take in accounting for the rise of West Nile, Malaria and other infectious disease. As spring comes sooner and last longer, as our Great Lakes continue to drop in water levels ( 2 feet lower in the last 3 years),

And as we all get up in the morning and turn on the TV to watch GOOD MORING AMERICA, with a new fancy set which in total has 40,000 florescent tube bulbs lighting it (and that only the florescent lights!!!)

Should we be examine our moral values. Examining our attitudes as they relate to our natural world. Each of us needs to ask ourselves: What makes us really happy? What makes us feel secure? It is highly questionable if money and tangible objects make us more happy, it is even possible that we tend to be less happy with our life’s when we have a lot of tangible objects and money to care for. Has our striving for more and more materialistic consumption caused us to forget that we are living human beings? We have to realize that we have much more in common with the plants, animals, air and water than we have with the mechanical, chemical and electronic world we have created around us.
Unfortunately, the dis-balance, which we have created between our lives and the Earth, is already showing the signs of disaster. We are in an imbalance, which, in the long run will cease to exist.
