Come on, goddesses– Let’s confuse the dumb boys again! | January 24, 2010

by April

Remember the “what color is your bra” Facebook thing? Where, in order to show that women supported people becoming aware of a disease that everyone is already aware of, we tease and tantalize all the bewildered guys that we’re friends with?

I just got an Facebook message today, with a new one:

OK girlies – time for a new one!
Should we ladies get the guys going again like the other day with the bra
colour? You know it made the Channel 4 National News in the UK???

What sort of weather do we ladies prefer?

Update your status with one of the following:

‘Wet and Hard’ -if you’re a rain lover
‘Soft and Slow’ -if you prefer snow
‘Hot and Steamy’ -if you’re a sun worshipper
‘Hard Blow’ -if you prefer wind
‘I’m easy’ -if you’re not bothered what the weather is like.

Drives them nuts when we all unite like this – scares them half to death -
Goddesses will rule the world again!!!

Copy and paste this and send it to your female Facebook friends!

You’ve GOT to be kidding me. While the bra color game was stupid at best, it at least attempted to bring awareness to a disease that affects many people. What this game does is have girls write sexually suggestive status updates for no other reason than to make guys wonder what’s going on. Then the secret’s out, and *teehee* we were just talking about the weather!!

If I see any of my friends post any of these things as their status update, I will delete them immediately.

If that’s not a complete dumbing-down of everything ever, I don’t know what is.

  1. Aw come on, I’m pretty sure this is what is technically termed a “piss take” – have you seen anyone actually change their status to one of these?

    Got to be one of those ironic, post-modern, inter-textual “meta” jokes…

    • Actually, I did see one person change their status to “I’m easy”… although, truth be told, it was the person who sent me the message.

      Can’t say I’ve ever heard the term “piss take” before.

      • My faith in womankind prevents me from accepting that this is anything other than a joke, or experiment in “memetics”

        Sorry April, “piss take” is English (UK):
        ‘The term sometimes refers to a form of mockery in which the mocker exaggerates the other person’s characteristics; pretending to take on his or her attitudes, etc., in order to make them look funny. Or it may be used to refer to a ruse where a person is led to believe something is true that isn’t (usually a fairly unbelievable story) for the purpose of ridicule of the “victim”.’

        • I wish I could believe it was a joke as easily as you do… but unfortunately, the message reads so much like chain emails I got repeatedly around ages 12-16 that I just can’t believe that people don’t really feel that way.

          Although if it was a joke, they did a brilliant job of writing in the exact manner that a 12-16 year old girl who watches a lot of MTV would.

          Thanks for the “piss take” definition!

  2. At least this can’t be blamed on us “dumb guys”.

    And David I have to say that a lot of women on my friend list on facebook did indeed get in on that bra color one.

    • I may have ego issues, but I’m certainly not closed-minded.
