A little light entertainment

So I was farting about on the internet, and came across this video: "How To Be The Perfect Boyfriend". Despite now being of somewhat lowered expectations with this sort of thing, I nevertheless recognize that they potentially contain some nuggets of insight into why the world is as screwed up as it is, so I chose to watch it anyway. Mildly amusing in its low-key English way, it offered a fairly clear picture of the adult male in question. Which one of the following do you think it was:

a) Potentially dangerous idiot who can be taught a few simple tricks,
or
b) Her equal, an intelligent, understanding human being?

And, to continue the quiz, which of the following do you think best describes the portrayal of the adult female in question:

a) A far superior creature whose forbearance he has to earn,
or
b) His equal, an intelligent, understanding human being?

Cogitating on this, I spotted another video on the same site: "How To Be The Perfect Girlfriend". Ahah! thinks I. Perhaps there was to be equal measure here. So I watched that too. Again, mildly amusing in its low-key English way, it also offered a fairly clear picture of the adult male in question. Which one of the following do you think it was:

a) Potentially dangerous idiot who can be controlled with a few simple tricks,
or
b) Her equal, an intelligent, understanding human being?

And which of the following do you think best describes the portrayal of the adult female in question:

a) A far superior creature with no earthly reason to put up with him,
or
b) His equal, an intelligent, understanding human being?

One of the more astonishing ideas is that whoever wrote these things thinks that crass behavior in her is attractive to him. I should perhaps take some heart in the message that nagging is bad, but then that would only be because his surrender isn't sexy.

Yah, OK, so tell me I need to develop a sense of humor. Fine, but I did say the videos were mildly amusing - for an idiot and his far superior girlfriend. Nah, this attendee of the coliseum of life gives two thumbs down. Kill 'em quick, and bring on the next act.


Sorry, what? Er, no, "b" would have been a wrong answer. Anywhere.
