Men and toys
Today was the day we went to the Sitex fair and He, like most other men at the booth too, whipped out His hp and snapped a couple of pics of the skimpy little latex things holding up laptops with huge bimbotic smiles plastered on their heavily made-up faces.
Does that marketing strategy even work? Wouldn’t the men be too caught up in the skinny legs to even notice the laptops the girls are carrying? They’ll be too busy looking at the girls’ boobs (or lack thereof) to notice the company name sewed across it. Right?
I guess I’m just jealous. When will the day come when companies will wise up and start getting hunky men in speedos and leather suspenders walking around IT fairs waving their goods for women to oogle at? Dun the companies know they have to win the hearts of women since the ladies are the ones holding onto the purse strings? Why are the male customers the only ones getting the eye candy? I demand my fair share of half-naked male models prancing around and giving out flyers too!
And where’s my bloody girls fair? Why do boys get their ‘big boyz’ fair, and we girls dun? Why do guys get their cars, and we dun get our vibrating machines? Both give rides, right? Why do the men get females in bikinis mud-wrestling and doing pole dances and we girls dun get our sweat-coated muscle boys fighting each other, or guys in policeman uniforms doing strip dances???
“oh, please handcuff me, Officer... You know I’ve been such a naughty giirrllll!”
