If a woman laughs derisively in your face when you tell her that it is men who are the victims of systemic denigration, ridicule and second-class citizenship, remind her that the BBC thought this show was perfectly acceptable.

Not only that, but an Ofcom report (British TV regulator) decided that the show was not sexist or offensive.

The problem is getting the women to understand it. A typical reaction would just be "Oh, get over it. It's just a joke."

Yet having Chris Brown on ABC is a travesty.

Marriage isn't a one-way street. I'm less concerned about using dog training techniques on people (becuase it can work), and more concerned that a show like this widens the rift between the sexes. If the men are willing to take part in a "documentary on relationship studies," what makes these women think they aren't up for open discourse?

I feel sick after reading that.

The same wench that would laugh in your face over something like this would also find pleasure and joy in the tv show itself and probably try to download the episodes online to watch.

The show, based around the premise that men share 85% of their DNA with dogs, uses hidden cameras to film the men, who think they are taking part in a documentary about relationship roles.

If that's the case, don't they realize that women, being from the exact same species as men, also share 85% of their DNA with dogs?

Of course humans also share a decent amount of their genetic material with potatoes. Does that mean we should be wrapped in tin foil, baked, and covered with delicious butter, sour cream, and chives?

So does this mean women share 85% of their DNA with bitches?

Also, when it's sexism against men, they put it in quotes. You know, because it's not really sexism.

<a href="http://www.southparkstudios.com/guide/1007/">South Park did it</a>, the Dog Whisperer was brought in to get Eric Cartman under control. It doesn't come off as sexist, since gender roles aren't the issue; rather, Mrs. Cartman's effectiveness as a parent is.

The episode also makes it a little more clear how offensive it would be to try and map this on a modern marriage.

According to the DVD commentary, Trey and Matt have been approached by parents of rowdy kids who tried this and it worked.

Woof, bitches come now!

I just tell a woman to watch 90% of TV commercials showing all men as stupid and incapable of doing the most menial of activities.

I have a dangerous amount of knowledge about this (that is to say, a little) and this husband training is simply a variant of marriage relationship counselling.

To put it another way, which would you prefer? Your wife constantly nagging you to take out the garbage, or her fulsome praise when you do? We're not talking brutality here, but psychology.

Offensive_Brute · 2009-12-01T14:21:26+00:00

i got a unique method for the nagging wife, its called "shut your mouth, you fucking bitch" or SYMYFB. Many clinical studies show that this technique actually gets better results from men than nagging.

The alleged humor of this series stems from the fact that it is a reversal of traditional gender roles. Women have been putting up with this shit for years.

That´s just too funny. What kind of a-hole would participate in that? Some people will do anything to be on TV. But I don´t really think this should be taken so seriously..

2009-12-02T07:37:01+00:00

Bah, real men don't care about stuff like this....because we're AWESOME!
