Its Been Decided... Men are Pigs


In case you haven't heard, I got a part time seasonal job at a calendar kiosk in the mall. The kiosk is divided into different sections, one of which is labeled 'models'. I hate this section. They should have just labeled it 'Porno for Pigs'! The company of course has everything censored with cardboard labels sitting in front of the rather riskay pictures, but I just feel like there is no place for this kind of thing in the middle of the mall, right in front of Kiddie Kandids no less. I won't go into detail about what is in these calendars, But I will say Playboy and Sports Illustrated and you get the picture.

I will just admit it right now: I don't understand guys. There is a lot of people watching involved in my job, and so I see the guys that go into this section. They all get stupid grins on their faces and start giggling like school girls. If they are alone they look around them to make sure it stays that way, and if they are with friends they point out different pictures and talk big and whatever. They drool all over themselves and act like complete idiots. I. Don't. Get. It. They are naked women. Big deal! The thing that kills me the most are the husbands that look at these calendars with their wives. I mean, really? That's sick.

And the sad thing is, is that they actually buy these stupid things. And all of them, and I do mean all of them, act really embarrassed when they hand me the calendar for me to ring up. Without fail they will turn it face down when they hand it to me. If you are that ashamed to buy it, shouldn't you be even more ashamed to have the thing hanging on your wall? I mean, what if your mother decided to give you a surprise visit? And honestly, can you really not find anything more appropriate for your wall? It's disgusting.

The worst was when four stupid teenage boys decided it would be funny to put every dirty calendar we had in the children's section. Well, that's just great folks! Barbie, Spongebob, and the Disney Princess's sure got an eye full! Is that supposed to be funny? Again, I don't get the joke.

Those calendars are more trouble then they are worth. I spend half my shifts covering up nude pictures. And I definitely do not need to see that!

I guess the point I am trying to make with my ranting is this: Men are stupid and I will never understand them.
