Have a happy Period!
I always see these comercials and do this Who has a happy period
AN OPEN LETTER TO > MR. JAMES THATCHER, > BRAND MANAGER, > PROCTER & GAMBLE.
> Dear Mr. Thatcher, > > I have been a loyal user of your Always maxi pads for over 20 years, > and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuard > Core(tm) or Dri-Weave(tm) absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback > riding or salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down > the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be > your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart > enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I > can't tell you how safe and se cure I feel each month knowing there's a > little F-16 in my pants. > > Have you ever had a menstrual period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from > "the curse"? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my "time of the month" is > starting right now. As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces > violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my > body will adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to > call "an inbred hillbilly with knife skills." Isn't the human body > amazing? > > As brand manager in the feminine-hygiene division, you've no doubt > seen quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your > customers' monthly visits from Aunt Flo. Therefore, you must know > about the bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our > intense mood swings, crying jags, and out-of-control behavior. You > surely realize it's a tough ti me for most women. In fact, only last > week, my friend Jennifer fought the violent urge to shove her > boyfriend's testicles into a George Foreman Grill just because he told > her he thought Grey's Anatomy was written by drunken chimps. Crazy! > The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just > crawling with homicidal maniacs in capri pants. Which brings me to the > reason for my letter. > > Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted to > reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxi > pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words: > "Have a Happy Period." > > Are you f#*cking kidding me? > > What I mean is, does any part of your tiny middle-manager brain really > think happiness-actual smiling, laughing happiness-is possible during > a menstrual period? Did anything mentioned ab ove sound the least bit > pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless you're some kind of sick > S&M freak girl, there will never be anything "happy" about a day in > which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kahlúa and lock > yourself in your house just so you don't march down to the local > Walgreens armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your > life in a blaze of glory. For the love of God, pull your head out, > man. If you just have to slap a moronic message on a maxi pad, > wouldn't it make more sense to say something that's actually > pertinent, like "Put Down the Hammer" or "Vehicular Manslaughter Is > Wrong"? Or are you just picking on us? > > Sir, please inform your accounting department that, effective > immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have > chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will > ce rtainly miss your Flexi-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your > brand of condescending ********. And that's a promise I will keep. > Always. > > Best, > > Wendi Aarons > Austin, TX

Re: Have a happy Period!
People who do not have vaginas should never have opinions on periods. Maybe THAT should be a message worth reading!
