What is Yahoo! smoking?
Published by Sabotabby October 13th, 2007 in Entertainment, For the ladies, HUH!?, Mutterings Of The Disturbed, Racism, Ze Goggles! Zey Do Nothing!, Zinczenko'dI think I need to check Yahoo! more often. First, Fengi found this adorable pair of articles on how those elitist, overly educated single women need to lower their standards, play dumb, and give more blowjobs. Or something like that.
The most mind-boggling quote, to me, is this one, from “dating coach” and self-hating Jew Evan Marc Katz:
In real life, if you start talking to someone at a party who is intriguing, you’ll probably get a phone number and set up a date. You may not find out until later that he’s a different religion, or political party….For example, I’ve got a male dating-coaching client who is 24 and runs a multimillion-dollar corporation. He never got a college degree, so he wouldn’t appear in many women’s educational searches. Too bad for them. I’ve got a female client who is 64 and still goes hiking, fishing and skiing. She’s beautiful, youthful and vibrant, and completely off the radar for most men. It’s a shame, isn’t it?
While I think it’s fine to date outside of your social circles, I wonder why this sort of romantic advice so often encourages women to go out with anti-choice Republicans men with wildly different political views. I guess these relationships work sometimes, but I would have a hard time dating someone who thought that my body was his property. It’s just not sexy. If Republicans can’t get dates, which is I think what Katz’s advice suggests, maybe they should work on developing a less misogynist world view. Just a thought.
Anyway, that’s not the weirdest thing on Yahoo! lately. Hat-tip to Seaya for finding this charming little game, called Missionaries and Cannibals.
The kind missionaries can’t be left alone with too many evil cannibals, but they all have to cross a river in a small boat. Can you help them?
If you think that description is bad, wait until you see the graphics.
The fangs were a nice touch.
Guuh. And I hadn’t yet forgiven Yahoo for buying up MusicMatch, eating its soul and removing every good feature it ever had.
Oh my God. I liked that game better when it was criminals in Burglar Bill outfits.
I would just like to thank you for using the category “Zinczenko’d.” I love it so.
Wow, I had no idea about “Zinczenko’d” - I can’t believe this crypto-Quagmire has had such a long career with Yahoo. Saying the same thing, over and over.
Thank you for making a “Zinczenko’d” category!
The Jew counselor or whatever he is/was has a point. It is too bad that people make blanket assumptions about other people, but then hookup sites seem to be focused on stereotypical match-ups and the over idealization of romance only feeds simple minded approaches to companion finding. He doesn’t bother to point out that racism, classism and sexism have a lot to do with the narrow views people have of others.
That game was absolutely offensive.
