59. Sorry but all of this "sexist/mysognistic" bullshit really fries my chips..

Tue Feb 26, 2013, 12:00 PM

Feb 2013

...any time men talk about boobies, or women's bodies DOES NOT MAKE THEM SEXIST PIGS....

They were fucking jokes for fuck's sake and a vocal group of DU'ers desperately need to get the fuck over themselves before they turn this place into a complete and total fucking void where no-one can say ANYTHING for fear of pissing someone's radical agenda off.

I care deeply about equality between the sexes, my only child is a young woman, but really, you want to go to war over Seth McFarlane and the mother-fucking Oscars????

Fucking. Get. Over. It.

(A bigger issue to get riled up about would be as a result of looking at Helen Hunt. A woman of true natural beauty that now looks awful due to botox/plastic surgery because of the fear that 'Hollywood' won't hire woman over a certain age...THAT is a much bigger issue to discuss than Seth Mcfarlane's hysterical opening number..)

Alert away...
