Extra Grippingness

I read this, and it amused me.

Today, an old favourite rears its head, however - namely: how stupid are women? I've been pondering this ever since I first saw the Gillette advertisement for a ladies' razor whose main selling point was its bright-green, extra-wide handle. It was then that I realised that we might be lacking something as a gender if we were so clearly incapable of picking up depilatory instruments, let alone wielding them with the necessary dexterity, unless they were carefully designed with extra grippingness.

I would say that men and women are prolly tied in the "Who's Stupider" contest. I think i know why, too. It's come to my attention that the people who shouldn't be reproducing are usually the ones most successful at it. Go figure.

The most distressing bit of information in this article illustrating stupidity is this:

Last month Headline publishers had to repackage its Jane Austen novels in foil-embossed covers showing Regency love scenes, and bill the author as "the godmother of romantic fiction" to re-educate those who were under the impression that Austen wrote essays on hypothecated taxation.

(emphasis mine)
The fan fiction wasn't bad enough. Now they're putting Regency love scenes on the covers. Ugh.
