Women caused the credit crunch (2 Viewers)

My only issue with that stupid article is one of quality-control. Be funny, not a watered-down Kevin Myers/John Waters wannabe. Boooooooring. Satire should be good and interesting and that is not. Eat the poor! Eat the rich! In heaven even the tone-deaf sing, making heaven a truly terrible eternal prospect! Etc.

normally i'd give out at you for saying that

but yeah, that article is pretty weak

another point that should be made is petrol use by women. women spend far longer on the road as they can't read maps, hence use a lot more petrol, driving up the price, which has its part in the global recession. also, when women get annoyed and irrational, they release oestrogen particles that are 20 times as potent a greenhouse gas as co2, which will lead to runaway bride global warming.

personally I welcome the 7% 'Knickers and Make Up' levy the goverenment are brining in to counter this, at last the guilty are paying the cost

I reckon a total ban on knickers and make-up is the only way to salvage the economy

 

[orange pekoe]

Hair dryers, GHDs and all that shit we put in our hair are also major contributary factors to global warming. Women should be banned altogether.

I wouldn't go that far. I think we should continue using them as sex objects.

How about using them as currency?

 

[Vinnie]

These "women" your man is on about sound like they have a lot to answer for but if we're gonna start forcing people out of jobs then let's start with jokeless satirists

 

[MDR]

With the cost of childcare, many satirists are working from home now - some of them are not even doing it ironically.

 

[Moods For Mallards]

I'd like to see the rest of you satirise women as effectively. Maybe the ladies out there will take this article as a jump-off point for some earnest reflection.

"I'm living in a state of irony"

 

[jane]

Do we all have an ironic doppelganger, someone who resembles us in every way, only they're doing it ironically?

As for the women thing, as long as we get to keep being property, I'm cool with whatever.

 

[billygannon]

There's a pile of irony at home that needs to be done.

If women were to be currency, should they were masks of significant historical figures?

they'd be simple coins so you can slot them into beer vending machines.

The complaint letters in the paper today are woefully unfunny.

I'm writing my own.

They will never print it.

They might print it if you say that your husband helped you write it.

I know at least two women who didn't cause the credit crunch, so it's not fair to tar everyone with the same klu-klux clan analogy.

[rettucs]

I can't believe they're publishing letters by women now.
