Stupidity Spotted: Spike for Men

I hate Spike TV and their website, actually anything they put their name on can be considered idiotic. Just the idea a "network for men" because most networks aren't already run and marketed to men with random women thrown in to please the masses or for objectification.

So a melting bikini...my guess is the men who purchase this also have no idea of why they were dumped. Any guesses? Apparently, this is being marketed as the perfect revenge for men who are dumped. A German company has developed this product, but it is garbage.

I'm also disturbed for a whole new reason, yeah this product is offensive, but what can we expect, really? I'm more concerned that they are finding a market for this...these guys are willing to but crap like this?

Manswers...wish they had some answers

I really do like men; I swear. Though sometimes I have to scratch my head and ask myself what the hell are you thinking? No, not when Mr. Perfect forgets your birthday (which my ex did this year) or acts surprised when you tell him you will never live in the Midwest again. No, I'm talking about a show/television network claiming to speak for men. You guys want to do yourself a favor let them know they don't speak for you. I featured Men's Health's article on the "40 Unwritten Rules for Men," and now the "10 Commandments" come from Manswers which is on the Man's Network, Spike TV.

10. Know your sports teams and keep Sunday holy for them. (all men love sports to not love sports is to be less of a man)
9. Thou shall know what thou art doing. (asking for help is a sign of weakness and makes all men look weak by proxy)
8. Thou shall not make wrongful use of crying. (only during sports never at weddings or funerals)
7. Thou shall know thy apartment and keep it holy. (cleaning also makes you less of a man)
6. Thou shall know thy man-skills. "True men have the wisdom to shoot a gun, drive in snow, tie a tie, grill a steak, and please a woman. The best accomplish at least 2 of these simultaneously. " (this kind of speaks for itself)
5. Thou shall not commit adultery with your bro’s lady. (anyone else is of course appropriate)
4. Thou shall not covet thy bro’s sh*t. (this also includes "his lady" because she too is property)
3. Thou shall know when to bear false witness. (lying is appropriate regardless of the situation, but be good at it)
2. Have no false hos before bros. (yes, that is what it said...because women or hos will be shopping)
1. Honor thy bro. (the guy code)

Anyone actually want to be part of this? It reinforces conventional stereotypes of masculinity which would never be complete without a few about women as well. I will be skeptical of any man who calls me a lady from here on out. This list actually disgusts me.
