lately, cleaning supplies are starting to seem a little...phallic?

The past two nights I've stayed up late to watch Talk Sex on Oxygen, I've seen a strange trend in cleaning supplies. Nevermind that Oxygen, while being a women's network, still plays on all the old stereotypes of who cleans the house, let's focus on these two products, shall we?

Lysol has come up with a handy new way to clean your toilet. Check this out. The Lysol Ready Brush allows you to squirt cleaning fluid from the tip by pressing the trigger at the base. A white foam emerges from the brush head.

Wow. Now if that ain't phallic, I don't know what is. Except maybe the Dawn Dish Brush, which makes cleaning those hard to reach places in glasses and such easier. The brush head also spins around. No white foam is ejaculated, unfortunately, but you get the picture.

The appearance of both of these ads during a sex show leads me to form the following conclusion: cleaning is definitely sexy! You'll like cleaning if you clean with a penis! Hurray! Or something like that. The Lysol brush cracks me up. They've gotta know what that looks like. C'mon, people. We're not dumbasses.

Davis has done a blog about the recent MA ruling that the ban on gay marriage is unconstitutional. Chris, your state is awesome. Anyway, I would also like to do a blog on this but I'm afraid the eight hours I spent putting things on hangers today is preventing my brain from functioning properly. I would just like to say, where the hell do people get off being so goddamn bigoted? Gay people are obviously going to make you have sex with them, and then sodomize your children. If they get married, then we might as well just flush America down the toilet (and then clean it with the Lysol brush). Because God will strike us down with lightening and damnation.

FUCKING bastards. The more I think about it, the more 'separation of church and state' is a load of bullcrap. Bush keeps bringing biblical morals into everything, faith this and that. We say that we're a country of free citizens, but we can't marry whomever we want. If gay marriage offends some people for religious reasons, they don't have to look. If they say that legalizing these unions will offend and disregard their personal religion, then they are bringing church into the state. If it offends you, look the other goddamn freakin' way! People need their rights, and if Christianity (or someone's messed up version of it) says that certain people are exempt from rights, then Christianity has no place in the US government. I think that we can embrace and use some of the religious mores that our country has been built on. Jesus taught some pretty kickass things, and accepted everyone. The greatest strength humankind has is the ability to shape society, and that means we can shape religion as well. Take the good stuff, and leave the bad, the bigoted, the obsolete. It is the reasonable, loving, common sense kind of thinking that will make our country a place for everyone.

Also. You. who insist that men and women get married to make babies. That. is the most inane justification for banning homosexual marriages I have ever heard.
