MORE UGLY
MAN--HATE

In the giant stack of Christmas gift catalogs that arrived in my mailbox, this week, there was one I'd never seen before. Announcing itself as "Gifts to Celebrate and Inspire Women"......it contained a large collection of some of the ugliest junk ever, and enough man-hating and child-hating items for me to decide to expose some of them here.

I guess the worst one -- probably designed by Andrea Yates (the Mom who drowned her kids in a bathtub) -- was a hanging of five tiles, the first of which had a large stickfigure on it, with the words "come to the edge she said"............followed by tile #2 that had 3 little stick figures on it, and the words " we are afraid they said".............the large figure returned on tile #3 repeating "come to the edge".............tile #4 had "they came".............tile #5 now had the 3 little stick figures tumbling down and the words "she pushed them and they flew".

Another tile that had a pretty bow on it, said: "if it has tires or testicles it's gonna give you trouble"............. this "gift from hell" made me wonder how women would react if there was a tile that said: "if it has an engine or a cunt it's gonna give you trouble".......?

Then there was a cute little hanging tile with cute little ducks on it, that said: "Having kids is like being pecked to death by a duck"............which again made me wonder how women would react to a gift-tile that said: "Having a mom is like being torn to shreds by a tiger".

I saw a steel toiletpaper receptacle in the shape of a cowboy, on whom the roll of toiletpaper was suspended from what I assume was his erection...............and an offensive reproduction of Michelangelo's David painted on a lightswitch-cover........yes, you guessed it.....the switch was his penis...........just think of all the fun a man-hater could have with that piece of junk!

And then there was the communist plaque that read:
"When I said 'I do' I didn't mean laundry".............as if
washing her family's clothes, turns a wife and mother into a slave of the capitalist profiteers called husband and children.

There was more, but ...........
