  • Ngl, I’ve always had a suspicion that part of the reason the extra blades happened was the satire.

    Once the idea was introduced, half the marketing was done, and the association with laughter isn’t a bad thing. You let the joke fade, and the idea lingers. You see the product launch, and even if you recall exactly how absurd it was when you saw it on snl or whatever, it’s still a positive memory. The satire commercial acted as a real commercial before the product existed.

    Obviously, there’s an upper limit to it, and I think they’ve hit it as no six blade heads have come out that I know of. But, being real, after 5 blades, all the satires jumped to unrealistic numbers and more extreme silliness. It was like the various comedy writers figured out that the various razor companies would be glad to slap one more on there, and sell it as an entirely new thing that needed a new handle as well. So they said (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ and went hard.

    There used to be a video of the satire commercials followed by the eventual real ones. I couldn’t find it on YouTube, but I may just suck at searching there, or it could have gotten pulled. I dunno, but I remember the real commercials being way closer to the satire ones than I had thought when it happened.



  • Wow. Just wow.

    Drag comes back and that’s who shows up. Horrible “luck”.

    Fwiw, while it’s already been said, the threats are laughable. Who would they sue? A user name? Good luck with that lol. And they didn’t suffer any harm from anything to begin with, so by standards in most of the western world, even if they could manage to file suit, they wouldn’t get anything.

    What’s sad is that the person in question doesn’t even understand why they’re like that, but have talked about the indulging underlying issues that make them act like a jerk on a fairly regular basis, depending on one’s threshold for what is and isn’t jerk behavior.

    Hope drag have better luck in avoiding the jerks of the world.






  • Look, ima be real here.

    As long as people aren’t lined up watching other people excrete wastes, I’m fine with whoever wants to use whatever bathroom.

    Like, I’m a dude, and y’all trans men are welcome to stare at the wall right beside me. We will piss in solidarity. Y’all trans women, take the stall if you want/need, or post up and piss right along with the rest of the folks evacuating their bladders. You cis women, c’mon in, the water’s fine. Just understand that there’s some unwritten rules involved. And, if you haven’t a penis, bring one of those funnel things for urinal usage as pissing on one’s feet is considered unmanly.

    When you’re at the urinal, you only ever look at your neighbor if you believe they may need an ambulance. Otherwise, you pick a spot with some interesting graffiti and stare at it, but only if it is not beyond two inches to the side of the urinal you are using. If at a trough, use your shoulders as the border.

    If there is no other choice, and you have to speak with someone next to you, do not look at them. Look up at the ceiling. This way, everyone knows you aren’t looking at their junk, and nobody has to worry about being measured.

    However, be aware that if you shake it more than twice, you’re playing with it, no matter what it is. So, take it to a stall, you heathen.

    If in the stall, remember the courtesy flush. It is also strongly encouraged to give a “sorry bros” if nearby stalls are occupied. Rounds of applause for extraordinarily thunderous flatulence are allowed; but please, no standing ovations.

    Should you find a hole in the stall wall, be aware that it is your obligation to gently stroke anything that comes through said hole. I don’t make the rules, I just follow them like everyone else does.

    Also, it is imperative that when the circle jerk starts, that your hands are well lotioned, and you sing along with everyone else. It will usually be either “row, row your boat” or “Michael row your boat ashore”, so make sure you have the lyrics memorized, and do try to stay on key. In the event the standard songs are not in play, it is acceptable to hum along; just don’t expect much in the way of aftercare.

    I would strongly encourage everyone to memorize and share these rules, since very soon all ladies’ rooms will be forbidden to all. Can’t have anyone that might have a penis, even if that penis is in their womb. You know how penises get in the ladies’ room, jumping around, spitting on everything, leaving a mess all over the counters, throwing the sanitary supplies into any waiting receptacle (including the astonished mouths of bystanders). All of which is just flat not acceptable when said penis is in the womb still, show some respect.
