Is anger or laughter your first reaction to the link in the details?
Give them to your women
I checked but didn’t see this asked so I’m asking now—sorry if it’s a repeat
If it makes you angry, please tell us why.
If it makes you laugh out loud, please tell us why.

My reaction.
It’s a cliche’ joke that isn’t really funny, but I don’t get mad about shit either, so yeah.
Laughter. This is an obvious way to get attention to a brand that was otherwise failing.
I LOL’d! I wonder what kind of woman would feel threatened and angry about it?
Neither really. I just think it’s stupid. That’s my first reaction. My second reaction is I really prefer it did not say that.
@JLeslie I hope it starts a label fad! “Give it to your woman to wash because you can’t handle it!” (Who really reads labels, anyway? Unless it’s a piece of delicate clothing.)
But, it says give to your woman it’s her job.
Yes, it does. And it’s hilarious!
Oh GoD! I love it! I never believed that idea that feminists have no sense of humor, but this could prove me wrong.
For Christ’s sake! A label?
A LABEL?
Under the fucking orange tree, fer sure!
I LOVE it!!!!
Somebody send me to the orange tree!!
It does not make me angry, just to be clear.
I’m a solid “meh” with this—it is, IMHO, nothing more than a marketing gimmick.
Not funny. These days you have to be original otherwise people roll their eyes.
Where is the orange tree???
I don’t know! But it’s real! It’s around here somewhere!
It’s somewhat funny, because it’s making fun of old-fashioned gender stereotypes. The problem is that they are still accepted as reality by many people. For that reason, I can’t be entirely comfortable with the joke (though I wouldn’t say it makes me angry).
It made me chuckle a bit. This kind of humour doesn’t bother me.
It really should be taken in the humour that was meant.
Like this and this
Laughter (or at least a sardonic laugh) is my first reaction to most things these days. My boss hates to send me to Project Review Meetings (or Project Revues, as I call them).
My first reaction was an eye-roll! It didn’t really make me laugh or make me angry, it just kind of is.
@Mat74UK Exactly! (The second one just sent me to Google, BTW.)
@SuperMouse Yeah, it’s obviously trying to be funny. It doesn’t make me laugh or angry, just makes me x-out. I don’t care for shit like that. In my experience women do tend to fuck up the laundry less than their male counterpart so I mean it’s partly true, even if it was trying to be a stereotype.
@Dutchess_III – sorry about that I’m trying to do it on my phone.
The orange tree is that alpha and omega and transdimensional storage depot for all things absurd in this life. That label came from the Orange Tree, and it will end up back there when everyone is finished either laughing or studiously not laughing at it. Then it will be shipped off to another dimension for another go-around. Plus ca change and all that.
Stupid marketing campaign (look how much attention it’s gotten).
By the way, it probably would have been accepted more easily as humor if we didn’t have a public figure calling a college student a “slut” and a presidential candidate who thinks that birth control is evil and that women belong in the home.
That marketing campaign is nothing compared to the Kony campaign.
Tiresome and mildly annoying.
I just woke up, so I have no reaction, lol.
Haha..I think it’s funny, anyone that really gets upset over this needs some time in therapy.
Lawnmowers and BBQs should come with that label too, “give it to your man.” lol
I smirked and thought’ “how obnoxious”.
I feel the same as @Sunny2.
I find it tired and not humourous.
I’m a tomboy that does most of the building/repairing…so if I saw a label that said “Give it to your man”, I’d probably be irked.
I like that they tried to do something entertaining. But. Meh.
__And if they hadn’t added, “it’s her job.” it would have been funnier.__
Pretty meh. But that’s not because it’s either offending or not funny or anything like that, but because it has nothing to do with zombies.
@Symbeline Your tag would read “Wash these pants or the Zombies will eat your brains”. Now how do you feel? ;)
My reaction was an eye roll. If it’s supposed to be a joke, it’s a rather played out one. I appreciate creativity in my marketing campaigns.
Nowt really, just a simple piss take.
And how many men are actually going go bother reading the label anyhow. (As long as we are mocking gender stereotyping)
I think its funny.
Well, obviously it is meant to be humorous, and I don’t think anyone would take it seriously, but ya know, I gotta say, in my generation I’m 52 now there are plenty of stereotypes that do abound, because…some of them are true! lol
Honestly, for every middle aged guy I know that has found his inner chef and gets off on cooking, I know 2 more that survive on Hamburger Helper and soup in their bachelorhood.
Just like so many men I have dated that want to give me a gun because I’m a woman that lives alone on property in the high foothills. haha
I can’t tell you how many guys have brought me shotguns over the years and are ‘blown away’ pun intended that I refuse to keep firearms. But, but, the caveman protective instinct kicks in, OMG! what IF I had to shoot a Mountain Lion or a bear? lol
It did cause me to snicker.
Lol! I just found this. What’s your reaction?
Holy F*ck! I had to read it twice to get it. Then came the sinking feeling
I don’t get it. If the pants are meant for men, how does washing enter the picture?
re the bumper sticker, @Blackberry: I’m neither amused nor angry. I’m saddened by the ignorance. Just saddened.
Meh. But then I thought about it, and it is my woman’s job to wash the clothes. Apparently, I don’t do it correctly so only she is allowed to do the laundry.
I grinned.
I agree with @6rant6 that if they hadn’t added, “it’s her job.” it would have been funnier
I also liked @Dutchess_III‘s “Give it to your woman to wash because you can’t handle it!”
It doesn’t bother me, but I don’t find it hilarious.
Sometimes things are funny because they are so patently ridiculous, and that was MY take on it. I think I’d be “offended” only if I felt threatened that they were somehow serious. Which I wasn’t.
Like @Coloma, I was raised during the women’s libbers revolution and I think she and I are an example of the first product to come out of that, thumbing our noeses and crossing our eyes, wagging our fannies “BYE BYE!!!”
It makes me laugh. Then again, I’m not easily offended.
I’ve seen those type of labels in other meme based humor before. It’s a joke. Weather or not it’s funny is besides the point. I am however offended that people would be “outraged” by this. I have issues with people who have issues.
@Esedess So you have issues with yourself?
@SavoirFaire LOL! I guess so. But I think we all have issues with ourselves from time to time.
I have issues with my issues. :(
I have issue with the issues that I have about your issues with your issues.
Bless you! Bless you! Bless you! ..... Oh, forget it! You ain’t never gonna stop!
I snickered. It seems tougue-in-cheek to me. Not funny enough to pee one’s pants, certainly nothing to get angry over. Seriously, if reading that were the worst thing to happen to a person in a day, one should probably pause and give thanks. There are plenty of real issues to expend energy on. This doesn’t qualify as even an issue. IMO.
It made me LOL. Really. It’s funny!
I don’t have issues, I have the whole damn subscription.
It’s maybe a little “meh” (at least it didn’t say any crap about “making sammiches”) but it’s not offensive; it’s obviously a joke. It is possible to use stereotypes or old ways of thinking as sources of humor.
I wasn’t amused but it doesn’t really make me angry either. I just think it’s a marketing gimmick that’s obviously worked, judging by the amount of attention it’s getting.
I don’t think people are taking this issue with the seriousness it deserves. You know, they always say we have five senses. I just don’t understand why people keep trying to add the sixth: a sense of humor!
Wait, @Dutchess_III You didn’t want that car back, did you?
@Symbeline Listen, zombie lady! I’ll wash your car when I’m good and ready to! And when @Dutchess_III’ car is out of gas or otherwise inoperable. And don’t forget, it’s costing ya double to have me wash it nude! And no touching, neither!
@wundayatta Oh I got the cash. now take it off, hotshot!
You got it boss lady. And I’m not responsible for what happens next! I’m just doing my job.
SOMEBODY TURN OFF THE LIGHTS!!!!
I need earplugs too, please.
Sorry… Fresh out. I could walk behind you and plug your ears for you though.
Just taking a moment to savor the image of @Esedess walking behind @Dutchess_III stuffing his fingers in her ears.
Ok. Moment over.
Yes, walking through the dark with someone elses’ fingers in my ears and then we trip over you and @Symbeline. WTH hell are you two doing down there?????
However, despite explaining themselves thoroughly, in near pornographic detail, Dutches III just keep responding “WHAT!?”. Finally I explain to wundayatta and Symbeline that she can’t hear you guys… because my fingers are in her ears. When you ask why…...... a long pause, then…. “because I was out of ear plugs.”
Well that was sho nice of you to help me out @Esedess!
So everything’s clear now? I can go? Because I have a nude date to shower with a car.
That doesn’t sound right, does it?
It sure doesn’t. now get to it
You’re not going to make me say, “Yes, Mistress,” are you? Because that’s gonna cost extra. A lot extra.
Pfft, you suck. I’ll do it for free. “Yes, Mistress.” See? I’m a lot more compliant than you are. :D
@Dutchess_III I’m on it. 1 sec… ... ... ... Almost…...ne~......... *rustling…..... got it.
OK! Now I’m naked too!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Mistress, I brought the nipple clamps, cat-o-nine-tails, and the fish bowl that you requested. Ummmm, the fish bowl makes me nervous…
Oh Mistress. How kind! Your brought me a bench to stand on so I can wash the top of the car.
@WillWorkForChocolate You can kneel over here. You don’t mind if I sit down, do you? I’m a bit tuckered out. And wet.
Oh. Where are my manners? Would you like me to make you wet, too?
Nothanks, I’m already wet. It’s raining.
LMAO, we were so good at staying on topic! Laser focus. Good job everyone!
On a sidenote, none of these damn links work anymore, and now I don’t know what started this whole mess.
