Men

Suffering confusion over Rob Newman's post "So You Should Be" about the BBC apologising for a prog called "Bring Your Husband To Heel", which has received complaints for being sexist.Had to agree with Rob when he complains of the plethora of stuff in the media that portray men as stupid. Particularly the "double sexism"of the progs like the one above that seem to send the message that only women are capable of housework, and it's laughably funny when silly little men try and do anything so complicated as hoover the lounge.

Reading this on the above prog however, I was stumped at the line:

"The premise of the show, produced by independent firm Talkback, sees Clayton tackle stereotypical "husband problems" such as computer addiction and failing to do chores."

Because the House of Scribble was the venue of such a "stereotypical husband problem" only today. Now, I had no thoughts of bringing Mr Scribbles "to heel", but I do remember hoping that the person who created "Pro-Evo" dies a slow and undignified death.

How very dare you. The creator of Pro Evo is 'Sea bass' and he is our leader.
