Viagra For Ladies?

VAJZIGRA FALLS
My guess is that there is zero demand for a PINK Viagra...
make that Vajzigra?

I don't believe the statistics regarding situational anorgasmia...pure poppycock!

Women never asked for Viagra to be invented and my guess is that they sure as hell don't want men thinking that they can unleash their inner Tiger with a Pink version!

Vajzigra will be marketed with a fancy-schmancy name that retains a familiarity..why?
Vajzigra is being made for men innit?

Men will buy it by the case if it meant that they never had to waste another dime on personal hygiene, buying flowers, wasting money at fancy restaurants, supporting the blood diamond trade, and suffering needlessly through another formulaic romantic comedy...
all shamelessly endured just to get laid!

But, what about the needs of women?

We live in a post-Cosmo world..

we're all adults here so let's be honest. 

The genders evolved on parallel tracks (some say universe) and both have developed a myriad of sexual strategies to screw with each others heads whilst ensuring that our species survived.

In a Lady's swimsuit area evolutionary forces have devised all sorts of defense mechanisms to kill spermies;
like operating a deadly acidic whatchamacallit, 
she can disguise fertility,
fake a headache OR the big "O",
and dip into the cervix to absorb her secret hunkier lover's fertilizer and have his progeny whilst technically operating under the security of a higher status male.

Men of course have evolved to counter these tactics by 
A: trying to kill all of the other males on the planet and failing that,
B: producing 3 types of sperminators, the blockers, killers, and a few swimmers, all done in order to eliminate any residual egg fertilizer that may have been deposited under clandestine circumstances while he was out.
C: the wenis is shaped like a plunger for a reason.
It's war.

However, we are here to talk about recreational sex so none of that really matters.

Our modern world is oversaturated with sex. For decades now the ad wizards on Madison Avenue have been manipulating the already unncomplicated male psychology...

usually by showing large breasted biologically accomodating women with HUGE photoshopped mid-orgasmic pupils exploding!

These images have one purpose, to make him believe that he needs to buy stuff to impress women before he can receive sexual favours.

Which unfortunately is pretty much true.

Men are brutish louts who over the course of their lifetime needlessly produce enough semen to drown an elephant. Most would be willing to inseminate almost anything with a pulse, and continue sperminating like suicidal salmon until their very last breath.

Ladies on the other hand are thoughtful, delicate, creatures with a limited number of eggs. Whilst engaged in the unpleasant act of frightfulness a proper woman will naturally close her eyes and try to think of England. Pfft.

Okay. Thanks to Cosmo and YouPorn, we all know that a woman's orgasmic demands can be met quite handiddly either by guilt-ridden manual pleasuring, or via the induction of fancy-schmancy, electronic cucumberesque, multi-ribbed, devices that keep going and  going and going.

Even now in the 21st Century many women trapped in the developing world and conservative states remain tragically unaware and enslaved by the notion that they need a partner to ring their bell.

Decades ago Feminist Germaine Greer made it perfectly clear that a society could be serviced by a single Y-Chromer. Sadly it would be possible for a single man to inseminate every female on the planet. 
Millions of men would gladly volunteer for such a postion as long as there were no televised sporting events scheduled.

Now I have exhausted your patience with re-asserting the scientificky factoid that multicellular organisms are created as default females, ergo, males are clearly mutants.

The very notion that the Pharmaceutical Giants feel the need to make billion$ designing a take-me-now-me-so-horny drug like Vajzigra, in lieu of, oh I don't know, curing that nasty restless leg syndrome or maybe even cancer?
Really? It isn't even a real disease?


This makes me wonder if it isn't time to let the next species have a chance to rule the world.

Greeod is Good

IN GREEOD WE TRU$T

I watched the CARD GAME on Independent Lens/PBS the other night.
Did any of you see it? 
Let me begin with the premise that I suppose that a Free Market could in theory work fairly well if it was executed on a level playing field and people were able to manage their finances.

My Grandparent's Generation witnessed the Great Depression and didn't buy stuff until they had saved up enough money to do so. By the time that my Parent's Generation came around credit cards made it easier to get stuff before they could afford it.

My Generation wants everything (far more than they actually need) yesterday and now most of us can only dream of actually owning anything other than a bit of highly volatile equity.

The American Economy is the world's largest and most influential financial marketplace (for a few more years anyway) so for the time being, we cannot ignore it.

The recent financial landmine that Middle America flung itself upon was totally predictable... and yet We The People and their lobby-fed representatives, still let the "Banks" and their various tentacles, do whatever the hell they want.
WHY?

I've come to the conclusion that there are three main factors.
Fawlty Faith, the mirage of a Free Market, and unbridled Avarice. 
All one needs to do is look at the slogan on their one Dollar bill, "In God We Trust". Which should be changed to GREEOD?

For starters, atleast half of all Americans believe that Jesus is in charge of their finances. Like it or not, because so many American citizens adhere to their Faith above and beyond their Military Funding led Democracy, the USA is a defacto theocentric entity much like other Monotheistic states like Iranistan, which they despise.

One of the most perplexing situations is the average American's inexplicable addiction to the indoctrinated, ludicrous, notion  that the Creator of the Universe established the USA as the pinnacle of his plan for mankind.
Good Ole Manifest Destiny.

Yes, all 6,000 years of Human History has been Divinely premeditated and purposefully arranged for these "special" people at this precise moment in the Space/Time continuum.

Another dangerous part of this equation is that the guardians of the Free Market, like former Fed Grand Poohbah, Alan Greenspan, and the others before him, adhere to the notion that Capitalism cannot fail, because the forces of the Free Market will always correct itself. You can bet your bottom dollar on that and take it tothe Bank ;) 

Like the "Corporation", the Free Market is a living entity which is theoretically failsafe...so they fervently adhere to letting the chips fall where they may..what could possibly go wrong?

The other factor which is the glue holding it all together is pure Avarice.

Who can forget the great scene in the film Wall Street when Gord Gekko delivers his moving speech to the shareholders..
Greed is Good.

We hold these TRUTHS to be self evident, that Coveting thy Neighbours sh*t is the very foundation upon which the entire Economy exists. It's the American Dream to have way more sh*t than the Jones. 

For the chosen, exponential unlimited Government-Free growth is the Holy Grail at Ground Zero..this preposterous mixed-market governmentally tainted model would have never even be considered had the Great Depression mysteriously appeared.
Gee, how did the concentration of Capitalists enjoying unlimited-unregulated freedom to prey upon the public ever go wrong?

Surpassing the Jones, fuels the great unwashed to strive to have it all and then some,...atleast until the Rapture. I suggest purchasing this book..
How to profit from the coming rapture   

Rapturenomics 101!


It is backed up by the ridiculous Prosperity Gospel, which in itself is antithetical to the original proponent who was made famous for throwing the money changers out.
Doesn't anyone recall that bit about the Love of Money being the root of all evil? 
 

Don't worry about buying food tomorrow, or the surprise jump in your credit card rates, or your house being confiscated because you defaulted on your loans, no problemo...
GREEOD IS GOOD!


The Free Market is the living incarnation of GREEOD...
IT's will be done.

Cognitive Dissonance means simultaneously holding two contradictory ideas...ie both God & Greed are good.

As frustratingly obvious as this is, the Banks, that bailed-out Billionaire Club who gave themselves Billion$ in bonuses for f*cking up the economy & pooching the public, got a Get Out Of Jail card because what if they they had to pay for their mistakes like you or I do?

They'll take their glove and bat home and then nobody will get to play so nyeh!! 

Why don't the Americans storm the Bastille?
Why do they tolerate an Industry that preys upon them and then unbelievably has the gall to keep their bonus and and ask for a bailout?
It's abso-f*cking-lutely astonshing is what it is?


When the housing bubble burst the reigning Republicans had managed to gift the Banks with the keys to the candy store and nobody was monitoring them.


The Banks thrive on victimizing the Mr & Mrs Joe Sixpack who live paycheque to paycheque and who are the least able to withstand any bumps in their finances.

The Banks allowed these people to live on overdraft, get "free" credit cards, and over-mortgage their homes by 125%...so that they would rack up a new huge pile of debt on the cards which were borrowed against their over-valued homes to pay the cards off.

Woo-Hoooo!

Half of them believe that the Almighty is in charge of their finances because GOD loves them more than any other people in history.
I won't bore you with my usual litany of unanswerable questions..
such as..

Oh I don't know, WHY on Earth would GOD wait until the 1600s to plop his favorite folk in the already inhabited New World? Why would he intervene in human affairs long after we had been mucking about destroying local biospheres and murdering each other for hundreds of thousands of years?
Actually Millions of years if you want to get technical.

When the black-hearted professional Bank Lobbyists were interviewed on the program my blood began to boil. They said that "the People" are to blame for the glitch...the Banks didn't do anything wrong.
Which is frustratingly true.

This Generation knows nothing about saving their pennies until they can afford to purchase something.

So the perfect storm, this triumverate of Greed, God, and Entitlement, triumphed over the original parsimonious Puritan ethos. How ironic is that?

Do not be surprised if this house of cards folds like a cheap carnival tent and the "money" moves offshore to the East for good...
the East holds most of Uncle Sam's personal debt that he has racked up buying enough Military Weapons to kill every living human being tenfold. 
Another correction is imminent and it will be of Biblical proportions.

Unless?
Here's your chance to offer some sound, practical, financial advice...
like save string, start using public transit, and bring a bag lunch to work.

Go for it...

LIFE is yummy

All is right in the world.
I have started watching a new nature series called LIFE which is hosted by my idol, Sir David Attenborough...
who if I am not mistaken, believes that he is invisible to other animals.

Unfortunately, because I live next to the United States, I am forced to view the americanized version.

The original Beeb version was tailor-made for the zany over-the-top animal-lovers in the United Kingdom. 

As many of you are aware, the Brits annihilated 99% of their own fauna millenia ago and to this very day, the entire island nation remains safe for enjoying picnics in the woods.

Regrettably, the largest creature to be found in jolly old England is the Badger.

Even as I write this fascinating-informative post, back in jolly old England, hordes of inbred, gin & tonic fueled members of the upper class are wreaking havoc on the remaining 17 Badgers!

These shameless scoundrels are making short work of those nasty-little-buggers ever since Fox Hunting on horseback with golf clubs was banned in 2008.  

Trapped on a desolate animal-free landscape is precisely why the Brits now go absolutely gaga whilst catching a glimpse of a f*cking bird?

"I say Penelope, I do believe I've caught a glimpse of a Great Tit "
"Oh Charles, r e a l l y, must you be so crass?" 

However, on this side of the pond, Merkins are more "into" killin' and eatin' critters.

So, thanks to extensive market research, the producers made some alterations and have wisely chosen to tweak the show and present the new program as; 

LIFE "tastes like chicken"

After seeing the episode on FISH,

I'm not sure if there is going to be a sequel?

TOMORROW PEOPLE

Since I will be repeating my expedition to the memorial services at the Legislature I thought that I might as well re-post;

I have three World War One connections.

First and foremost is my Paternal Grandfather, Joseph Coppens, who left Nederbraakel, Belgium, in 1929.
He told me that a big part of the reason was because of the occupation of his village by the Germans during WW1 and he never wanted to live through that again.

He was only 23 years old and the only member of his family to emigrate to Canada.

The second connection is that I had the medals of Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae who wrote In_Flanders_Fields .

I sold them in 1997 thinking that they would be better off in the care of a Collector.
The medals soon went to auction and sold for nearly $500,000. The new owner donated them to a Museum, McCrae_House , where they belong.

The incident became a national story and you can read about my ordeal in my archive June 8, 2006.

Willy Coppens, who was the Flying Ace of Belgium.

My third connection to WW1, is my Grandfather's distant cousin, or so he told me when I was a lad,

Archive Aug 19, 2006.

So this Rememberance Day my good-lady-wife, youngest son and I went to the Legislative Grounds to pay our respects.

The canon fire was so terrifyingly LOUD

that I thought that all of the windows in the surrounding office buildings were going to shatter.

We decided to tour inside the Legislative Building after the ceremony.

Afterall it is a magnificent edifice.

Our Provincial mascot is the Bison which were "once the most numerous single species of large wild mammal on Earth" which were so mercilessly slaughtered in North America from 1820 to 1880 that their numbers were reduced from an estimated 30 million to 1,000...a fitting metaphor for the plunder of the New World eh?

We took a photo of this incredible "mural depicting Canadian army life in France during the First World War painted by Frank Brangwyn of London, England, one of Europe's finest muralists. The mural portrays the carnage and tragic sacrifice of war but bright flowers in the foreground herald the coming of peace."

I started to imagine what it would be like to work there...

...hmm

I could be a model of society..

no really..literally..

like a wax figure of the average citizen?

No. I must aim higher!

I couldn't be Minister of Healthy Living..

as a germaphobe I nearly barfed just thinking about all of the germs on that doorknob.

Water Conservation only reminded me about how badly I needed to find the biffy.

We passed by Family Services so I teased my son about trading him in if he didn't behave!

No  answer.

I pretended to be the Minister of Science & Technology as the other Tourists wandered by..



Wow!

Working on a Civic Holiday, what dedication.

I told a young couple passing by that I was working on providing free internet

heh heh heh.

I'm afraid that I prolly wouldn't do well in Government because of all the bloody rules that the guy in this office tries to enforce..

hey protocol this!

So as you can see, I enjoyed many of my freedoms today,

but I did not forget the terrible price that it cost others.

LET'S TALK ABOUT THE "WHETHER"

We're Climate Primates

We Earthlings love to talk about the weather. It is a unifying and universal  "safe" topic because it affects us equally and determines how we survive. 
Scientists are now uncovering evidence that the weather was the catalyst that propelled Humans to become bipedal problem-solving omnivores.

The biggest obstacle preventing us from working together is the hardwired impetus of our natural inclinations to dominate other groups and steal their resources.
One of the primary weapons in our arsenal has been religion.

In the grand scale of our arrival, religion is a very recent invention. Our petulant narsecissim demands some cosmological structure..a reason for "being" and an order of where we fit in. All of the geographically oriented gods were invented to justify that specific group's concept of it's superiority over the animal kingdom and other humans.

The pantheon of gods always reflected the geographic and climatic peculiarities of their territory. What surprises me, well sort of, is how unwilling most modern humans are to abandon the supserstitions of their ancestors? 

I understand the psychological Fear...the thought that we don't fit in, the Universe just IS, and that there may very well be nothing after DEATH, are all anathema to our being special.

Even though we now have so much convincing evidence of the How?What?When?Where? and Why? we humans became the dominant species, the majority refuse to forsake the relics of our struggle to eliminate or dominate and enslave others.


At the moment I'm following two episodic TV shows;
 BECOMING HUMAN &
 DARWIN'S Brave New World

Charles Darwin was devastated when his daughter Annie died from tuberculosis in 1851.

It was the last spike in the coffin of his dwindling Faith and enough to dissolve his fears of publishing his theory of Natural Selection; that all species of life have evolved over time from common ancestors.
Victorian England was NOT amused and even the Scientific Community was still in the vice-like grip of the Biblical Creationists.

Darwin "could not see the work of an omnipotent deity in all the pain and suffering such as the ichneumon wasp paralysing caterpillars as live food for its eggs." In the program Richard Dawkins opines that the death of his beloved Annie pushed him over the edge.

Fast-forward a Century to present day and we discover that the majority of Humans still believe that they are "magical/special Creations" and vastly superior to the other members of the animal kingdom.  

Others cautiously sit on the fence and imagine themselves as a kind of APEGEL..part mystical being with an eternal soul carried around in a mortal-physical package which is disturbingly similar to simians.

What really may have "created" us was the weather.

Recent discoveries have uncovered evidence of extreme climatic fluctuations in Africa where homo sapeins were forming. By then our ancestors had split from our nearest cousins 3 million years earlier and several prototypes of people had taken shape. The winner was the line that was the most adaptable. The extra protein acquired from scavenging bone marrow and meat from other carnivores probably sped up the process of growing bigger brains.

Africa was once a huge tropical rainforest but it has been drying up for 10 million years. Encroaching savannahs provided new opportunities and walking upright not only better visibility and protection from predators, but it freed up the hands. Walking is also far more efficient than knuckling.


Our brains began to expand to allow for more problem solving and our hands gave us a leg up on the other apes. Evidence of dramatic shifts between drought and deluge forced the early Humans to think up ways to acquire food and avoid predation.

This version certainly isn't as sexy or special as the garden of Eden myth. Since the time that humans invented their regionally-specific gods we have been at war trying to establish dominance over territorial ownership of goods and services.

Darwin was well aware that his discovery would spark a never-ending schism in society. I am shocked, well sort of, that so many people in the 21st Century still exist with the notion that there is a Creation-EVEsolution_controversy ?

This controversy is virtually none existant in the scientific community and most people who are literate and have access to this information are slowly coming around...but travel around the globe and you'll find that most Earthlings are still enslaved by a handful of self-appointed, fear-mongering, zealots who wield their authority based on religious precepts.

I'm old enough to know that achieving "World Peace" is impossible. Even without the intrusion of religion and all of it's divisive devices the natural instincts of our ancestors that we carry in our programming make it impossible to stop coveting our neighbour's natural resources and their goods and services.

That's why it's easier to just talk about the weather :)  

HOT DAMN!

If you want to be loved and financially rewarded by the most loyal music fans in the biggest music market on Earth,

then y'er gonna want to be a Country Music Star in America!
 

Country music ain't nuthin' to sneeze at in Canada and Australia neither.

Here's a chart of the biggest Music Markets in the world.

In the USofA there are 2,014 Radio Stations playin' Country and 1,323 playin' Rock n Roll in 2009. 

Yessiree Bob that's 77 million adult listeners ever' week...

and 42% of them now have interwebs access!

Now you might not think that songs 'bout drinkin' & cheatin' & horses & more drinkin' ain't entertainin', exhortin', comfortin', & psychologically fulfilling enuff to fill stadiums and sell million$ of CD$...

but you'd be wrong.

I figur'd that I'd hitch my horse to that wagon and try to become the next Garth Brooks?

If you've been livin' on the Moon for the past 20 years, Brooks is the feller what sold 220 Million Singles & Albums in the USofA..

second only to the Beatles.

Now I already have a few songs "in the can" and just recorded a couple more to be shipped off to them thar 2,000 country rodeo..I mean radio, Stations.

Hell, how hard can it be?
