I couldn’t resist posting this advert for the Mail on Sunday currently showing in the UK. I couldn’t help but laugh at this video!
If only we could solve real-world issues (excuse the pun) as easily as the men and women solved them in this video.
Want to know the ultimate solution to the Gender War, according to the Mail on Sunday? The secret awaits below:-

Very cute.
So genderous.
October 16, 2007 at 10:50 pm
I like that word! Teri, thank you for offering your new word for us…genderous! Hahaha!
October 18, 2007 at 3:21 am
I’m torn. I like football, and I like dogs (but not little purse pooches). I guess I’d have to stand in the middle and go home with the winning team.
October 18, 2007 at 8:22 am
Hahaha! I think I would end up on the boys side, although I am more scared of having a mascara stick stuck in my eye than a football bouncing in mud and ruining my dress
October 18, 2007 at 5:34 pm
Dress? I vaguely remember those. In fact, I have one (little and black) at the back of my closet. Last time I dragged it out, I had to brush dust off the shoulders.
October 18, 2007 at 7:27 pm
Well at least you can still fit into the little and black dress, Z.
I wear nothing but dresses and skirts. I don’t even own a pair of pants. And none of my clothes get the chance to get dusty. If I don’t wear them, they’re out.
Welcome to the new word, Emmah!
October 18, 2007 at 7:36 pm
I am appalled Teri! Appalled…you might be the amazing lady who invented the word ‘genderous’ but don’t think I’ll let you off lightly for your lack of panties
er…you mean pants for “trousers” huh? never mind!
Come on girls, are you not at the least bit scared of getting your eye poked out by a mascara brush?! That is less scary than a little black dress and a pantie(pant) less Teri
October 18, 2007 at 7:44 pm
Oh no! I wear very sexy panties! Although I am always naked under my clothes!
And I’ve poked my eye with a mascara brush so many times, it makes me shiver to think of it!
(BTW, still love your mascara video.)
October 18, 2007 at 8:19 pm
I know! I love that mascara video too. Still makes the mascara run down my face from laughing!
October 19, 2007 at 9:39 pm
As contrary to my image as it may seem, I wouldn’t even answer the door for pizza delivery without mascara. Waterproof, of course, because sometimes we have football practice in the rain. And yes, I’ve poked myself in the eye, but it’s usually the fault of a kid or a dog. I can put it on in a moving car without aid of a mirror and have no mishaps. Not while driving, of course.
October 20, 2007 at 12:32 am
You will never see me sans mascara. I sleep in it. I swim in it. When I take it off, I put more right back on. Even my boyfriend has never seen me without it.
Used to be able to do the whole car thing. (And I mean thirty years ago.) Now, I just put it on before I go out. That eye poking this is nothing to take lightly!
October 20, 2007 at 9:02 am
I agree. Eye poking is a serious matter indeed!
October 22, 2007 at 10:31 pm
Gee – I wonder which side of the field I have to be on?
Maybe I could just sit it out until the smoke clears.
And I actually have a couple of LBDs. And other dresses, too. And pants. And skirts. And tops to go with both of them.
October 22, 2007 at 10:31 pm
And lots and lots of shoes!
October 22, 2007 at 11:06 pm
Shoe whore!
October 23, 2007 at 7:28 am
Hahaha! I wonder if you could run between the sides. You know? Start on one side, then half way through start fighting the other side?
I guess everyone would see you doing that, and you could end up being beaten up and poked in the eye with mascara sticks. Maybe not a good idea after all?
October 23, 2007 at 4:41 pm
I kinda like the idea of just sitting it out altogether. That way when it’s all over, I avoid the beating and mascara sticks and all, AND I’m still looking FABulous!
And yes, I am a shoe whore! So?
October 23, 2007 at 4:53 pm
Does it count as shoe whoredom if you have soccer cleats AND football cleats AND 3.5 inch snakeskin pumps straight outta the 80s? Those last don’t get out of the closet any more … they were purchased and worn pre-kiddies, when my feet were littler and cuter.
Oh…and snowshoes. I have my own snowshoes, too.
October 23, 2007 at 6:41 pm
Z ~ Yeah, you can qualify as a whore if you want to.
Snowshoes…
October 23, 2007 at 6:50 pm
I should send Teri the pumps. My snowshoes are actually genuine US Army surplus ~ very lightweight aluminum/titanium. I’m pretty sure no one else here would need or want ‘em. LOL.
October 23, 2007 at 7:37 pm
Are they size 7 or 7.5?
October 23, 2007 at 8:01 pm
I’ll blow the dust off and check for you.
October 23, 2007 at 8:36 pm
Snowshoes only qualify as “shoes” if they have a heel. Higher than an inch. We don’t get much call for snowshoes down here on the Gulf coast, tho.
October 23, 2007 at 11:34 pm
Awww. I’m probably not a shoe whore at all then. Maybe just a wee bit slutty, if that. Once I send my pumps to Teri, I’ll probably get retroactive shoe-virgin status. This does not please me.
October 24, 2007 at 7:44 am
You send me shoes, Z, and I’ll send you some and then you will be a total whore!
October 24, 2007 at 6:43 pm
Oh dear! I will NOT have any shoe whore advertising on my blog Teri! What kind of blog do you think this is???
October 24, 2007 at 7:51 pm
Not a whore blog? What the heck! I thought I found it by googling “shoe whore!”
October 24, 2007 at 9:26 pm
You are too funny!
October 25, 2007 at 5:12 pm
BTW, it’s not advertising if everyone just KNOWS.
October 25, 2007 at 7:10 pm
Shhh!
October 28, 2007 at 6:52 pm
Definitely not work-appropriate, so beware. Luka, if this violates the propriety of your site, feel free to let me know.

Very funny, Z.
November 14, 2007 at 6:56 am
LOL, nice video.
I think we need to get all these extremist gender whackos (male and female) together, lock them in a room, and let them duke it out. Whoever is left, we lock them in a space capsule and launch their sorry asses into space.
What, too extreme?
November 14, 2007 at 11:10 pm
Haha! Yes a little extreme, but I understand the sentiment, LittleOwl!
November 16, 2007 at 3:23 am
Excellent article, Emm!
I do watch a lot of news, and like Keira Knightly it can get me really pissed. And I deplore the current state of journalism. But one has to maintain a perspective that has nothing to do with the reality of the world as portrayed by media.
Fortunately, good friends help me do that. Thanks for being one, glad to see you’re still getting these articles out.

Hey Emmah,
You heard of this old fart? He’s your countryman. I saw him back in ‘88 and never laughed so hard in my life. He could have just kept talking and never played a lick and I would’ve been happy, he was *that* funny, and sweet. Anyhow, I like the sentiment of this video. As Rodney King said, “Can’t we all just get along?”
