Destroit Posted February 7, 2008 Posted February 7, 2008 So my cousin's wife posted this in a bulletin on her MySpace. Usually those bulletins are 90% CRAP (i.e. stupid surveys. Nobody cares about what you drank last, when's the last time you cried, what time you got up that morning, or how many times you've pissed that day, etc) but this one was pretty damn good. Not SURE if it's actually real, it says it is...but...it is the internetz we're talkin 'bout here. Either way, get a good laugh: This is an actual letter sent to Proctor and Gamble from Wendi Aarons,Austin, TX, regarding their feminine products. She really gets rolling after the first paragraph . . Dear Mr. Thatcher, I have been a loyal user of your Always Maxi Pads for over 20 years and I appreciate many of their features. Why, without the LeakGuardCore or Dri-Weave absorbency, I'd probably never go horseback riding or salsa dancing, and I'd certainly steer clear of running up and down the beach in tight, white shorts. But my favorite feature has to be your revolutionary Flexi-Wings. Kudos on being the only company smart enough to realize how crucial it is that maxi pads be aerodynamic. I can't tell you how safe and secure I feel each month knowing there's a little F-16 in my pants. Have you ever had a period, Mr. Thatcher? Ever suffered from 'the curse'? I'm guessing you haven't. Well, my 'time of the month' is starting right now.As I type, I can already feel hormonal forces violently surging through my body. Just a few minutes from now, my body will adjust and I'll be transformed into what my husband likes to call 'an inbred hillbilly with knife skills'. Isn't the human body amazing? As Brand Manager in the Feminine-hygiene Division, you've no doubt seen quite a bit of research on what exactly happens during your customers' monthly visits from 'Aunt Flo'. Therefore, you must know about the bloating, puffiness, and cramping we endure, and about our intense mood swings, crying, and out-of-control behavior. You surely realize it's a tough time for most women. In fact, only last week, my friend Jennifer fought the violent urge to shove her boyfriend's testicles into a George Foreman Grill just because he told her he thought Grey's Anatomy was written by drunken chimps. Crazy! The point is, sir, you of all people must realize that America is just crawling with homicidal maniacs in Capri pants...which brings me to the reason for my letter. Last month, while in the throes of cramping so painful I wanted to reach inside my body and yank out my uterus, I opened an Always maxi-pad, and there, printed on the adhesive backing, were these words: 'Have a Happy Period.' Are you f***ing kidding me? Does any part of your tiny middle-manager brain really think happiness * actual smiling, laughing happiness is possible during a period? Did anything mentioned above sound the least bit pleasurable? Well, did it, James? FYI, unless you're some kind of sick S&M freak girl, there will never be anything 'happy' about a day in which you have to jack yourself up on Motrin and Kaluha and lock yourself in your house just so you don't march down to the local Kmart armed with a hunting rifle and a sketchy plan to end your life in a blaze of glory. For the love of God, pull your head out, man! If you just have to slap a moronic message on a maxi pad, wouldn't it make more sense to say something that's actually pertinent, like 'Put Down the Hammer' or 'Vehicular Manslaughter Is Wrong', or are you just picking on us? Sir, please inform your Accounting Department that, effective immediately, there will be an $8 drop in monthly profits, for I have chosen to take my maxi-pad business elsewhere. And though I will certainly miss your Flex-Wings, I will not for one minute miss your brand of condescending bull shit. And that's a promise I will keep. Always. Best, Wendi Aarons Austin, TX
Kit Kat P Posted February 8, 2008 Posted February 8, 2008 That was hilarious, and my gf has heard me cussing out the 'happy period' tag. On a side note, the set I bought a few weeks ago was finally missing the condescending bit of trite.
prettystar1sky Posted February 9, 2008 Posted February 9, 2008 I felt the SAME WAY when I saw that stupid message on my pads!!! Happy period, my ass!!
Homicidalheathen Posted February 11, 2008 Posted February 11, 2008 Your kidding me. I had to have a partial hysterectomy so I didn't know they were doing this now.....you get like, popciscle stick or fortune cookie messages on them now? How lame is that??? That was hilarious, and my gf has heard me cussing out the 'happy period' tag. On a side note, the set I bought a few weeks ago was finally missing the condescending bit of trite.
SuZQZ Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 What? I don't get it ... What's wrong? You so silly Hey all. I wonder if they are going to print "Happy Hemorrhoids" on Tuck's Medicated Pads! How great would that be!!
jadnifer Posted February 12, 2008 Posted February 12, 2008 That was just TOO funny! I wouldnt put it past someone to really write that letter.
