Why.

The Museum would love to hold an interview with Adam Sandler where we solely discuss the thought process that went into deciding that this was a good idea, the studio execs who felt that this was a smart film to make and push out right before the holiday season, and how Happy Gilmore is more dead than ever before.

Damn, God, you just got burned.

Note: This post is in no way trying to be anti-feminist by suggesting that women equal just “1 more thing” and we apologize in advance to any of our followers who are upset that this makes it sound like the female gender is being reduced to just a weird God-created “side project” kinda like it might seem to suggest in the Bible (ex. Woman, the new spin-off series from Man, coming on Day 6 of Creation)

The New York Times, The Daily Beast, and The Art of Mod, among other fine news sources and museums, are pleased and amused to share the following story of the resignation of the President-elect of the American College of Surgeons.

The surgeon, Dr. Lazar Greenfield, wrote an editorial this past Valentine’s Day (do you know what that day is?  We’re unfamiliar, but regardless…) saying that “women are made happy by contact with semen during unprotected sex.”  This statement comes in response to research that found college women who have unprotected sex are less depressed than those who used condoms.  

Here’s what ABC News had to say on the subject:

“My personal and written apologies were ignored, and my suggestion to use my experience to educate others rejected,” Greenfield told ABC News in a statement. “Therefore, rather than have this remain a disruptive issue, I resigned as president-elect of the ACS.”

Greenfield’s editorial drew on research published in the Archives of Sexual Behavior in 2002 that found college women who had unprotected sex were less likely to be depressed than women who used condoms during intercourse.

But the words he chose in his op-ed offended many.

“So there’s a deeper bond between men and women than St. Valentine would have suspected, and now we know there’s a better gift for that day than chocolates,” Greenfield wrote in the editorial published in Surgery News, where he was the editor-in-chief before resigning in the midst of the storm.

Que triste.  It’s always a shame when a person gets in trouble for having an honest, science-based, semen-supporting opinion.

Do you think Dr. Greenfield’s comment about cum being a “better gift for (Valentine’s) day than chocolates” is humorous and pretty darn witty or is it a fair-to-be-punishable “genderyikes”?

In all fairness, this was in the Museum’s “drafts” folder before it ever landed on The Daily What.

It’s okay, kids, being a follower is cool, trust us.

P.S. Maybe we should actually acknowledge the graphic in our write-up for this instead of just bitching about The Daily What beating us to posting something funny.

Or maybe we shouldn’t since it would, like most things we post, probably go better ignored…

Remember when sex was taboo? Remember when television commercials showed respect? Remember when the zoo was a fun place to visit?

Well, Calvin Klein, underwear’s Messiah, has changed that. He’s asking some new questions:

Oh, how times have changed. In this series of commercials, which appeared on popular websites like Hulu, Calvin defies tradition by shoving sexual images in our faces (and better yet, they’re all hot men.) His models curse at us, their muscles evoke feelings of fear and lust, and their bulges protrude from their boxer briefs. Never before has advertising so violently told us that we want a product. Never before has the fashion industry yelled to its consumers about dicks. Never before has Calvin been so brilliant!!

We used to be concerned with decency. Now, we live in a world where the questions are different: Do you wanna see my dick? Are you sure you don’t wanna see my dick? Is it weird that I have an erection during the It’s Always Sunny commercial breaks on Hulu?

But Calvin has done more than just change the way people approach lust. Why focus only on humans when there are so many other corruptible living things out there? Take large cats, for example:

The Wall Street Journal has reported that Calvin Klein’s fragrance, Obsession for Men, has made jaguars and tigers at the Bronx Zoo go nutty.

“To wine and dine Sasha, a 450-pound Siberian tiger at the Bronx Zoo, try serving beef and rabbit. To lure him for a snack, whip out the frozen treats his zookeepers call “bloodcicles.” But to really get his olfactory engines running, you need the secret weapon: Calvin Klein’s Obsession for Men.”

Great! I was wondering what I should get my pet jaguar for X-mas!! Now I know what to buy!

“”Oh, yeah, he loves that scent,” Mr. Thomas said as Sasha blissfully cuddled up to a tree sprayed with Obsession for Men. “Just look at him.”“

If I spray the trees in my yard with Obsession for Men, will hoards of beautiful women swarm to my property?

Calvin’s revolution continues. Is his goal to turn the world into a giant orgy? Does he want to encourage the breeding a half-human-half-tiger super being? Does he want children to be violated by large felines at the zoo? Is he going to develop a fragrance called Obsession for Cats? Will he develop Obsession for Trees? Whatever he’s trying to do, it seems to be working:

“Obsession for Men launched in 1986, just as the Calvin Klein brand was pushing the boundaries of sexuality in advertising. Early ads typically featured nude models and little else. Today, it remains among the Top 10 best-selling men’s fragrances world-wide. The cologne, which is made and marketed under license by privately held Coty Inc., posted sales of about $85.5 million last year”

Do jaguars use credit cards?

The Museum is proud today to feature an installation from an outside source in the Tumblr community. Bringing us some exposed meme-ification of everyone’s most talked about gender, itschowtime has more:

Voila, we have reached an age of post-hyper-sexualization.  Yes, those are 6-year old girls.  No, this is not a scene from Little Miss Sunshine.

Remember when parents didn’t try to convert their children into memes?  Remember when parents telling their children “no” was known as “parenting?”  Remember innocence?

“Hot like pedophilia, rejoice!” - Lord GaGa

This accurately reflects our attitude towards 24-hour TV news journalism today.  It’s always nice to know that someone else is out there satirizing it all too.

The day the Museum opens a Sculpture Garden in the back, this will be placed at the grand entrance.

This is on target to become the next crucifix.  Can’t wait to walk into the living rooms of religious Lord GaGa followers everywhere and find this on the coffee table.
