Too Soon?

I'm not sure we're ready for a men's suit company to joke about sexual harassment for advertising purposes. Here are some screen shots from the ad. Click here and choose "harassment" to see the whole commercial.

Men In Suits

Women Lusting After Men in Suits

Woman Sexually Harassing Man in Suit

While I've seen other "turn the tables" commercials before (an excellent example being Diet Coke's "11:30 Break" campaign in the '80s), this one just rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe it's because the men in question are just so not hot (I know, I know, the point is that the suit makes them hot). Maybe it's also how smug they are--I feel like they are saying, "Sexual harassment is so cool! We wish we could be sexually harassed!" Yeah! Misogyny is awesome! Teach your sons!

Trey Has Arrived

Mary and I were enjoying a beer on the balcony last night, waiting for Mama Robin to move her behind so that we could look at the eggs, when we heard something of a racket from her direction. A few minutes later, she took off and there was a third egg in the nest. Fingers crossed for IV tonight!

Double Trouble

We have a second egg! According to Wikipedia, we could get up to five and our babies should be here in 11-14 days. The father helps sit on the eggs and feed the babies once they are born. How 2007!

Elephant Roams Free

It is such a gorgeous day that Elephant asked to be let of the closet shelf so that he could roam the wilds (Mary's garden). Check out Flickr for more pix of Elephant running amok.

For those of you don't know, I have had Elephant since July 19, 1974. He is member of the rare Elephas Patchaworkus. He has been through two gender reassignments, a ceremonial tribal tattooing, a washing machine and more than one nail polish experiment.

Ouch

Gosh! I hope this isn't me! A few more specifics would be nice.
