Making the earth move
Grandad April 23rd, 2010
A few weeks ago, there was a minor spat on this site where I was accused of being sexist.
While some of the lads in the village prefer sheep, I prefer women, so this accusation hurt me just a little.
One of the points the accusers made was that I had a photograph of a nice cleavage at the top of the site, and this was to somehow prove that I see women as sex objects. This baffled me a little, as I don’t see pints of Guinness, pills or my pipe as sex objects, so why should a drop of cleavage fall into that category? The woman in case [and no, it’s not Sharon, or Herself] wore that dress in public, and therefore one must assume she was happy at the thought of people having a little peek? It’s not as if I used that photograph of the next door neighbour’s wife doing very interesting things with a bar of soap in the bath?
I would suggest that any woman who is offended by my little image, should move to Iran where they will be much happier with the dress code there.
And talking of Iran and tits and things, there is an interesting theory doing the rounds. Apparently President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has it on good authority that the spate of earthquakes the world has recently experienced is caused by women wearing short dresses. This is quite an interesting hypothesis. I have certainly heard of short dresses causing car accidents, but not earthquakes.
Our K8 wrote about a very interesting experiment. Apparently, all women are to display as much of their cleavage as possible next Monday to see if it causes an earthquake. K8 seems a little dubious about it all, but I think it has its merits, purely in the interest of scientific research of course. In fact, I shall be out on Monday with my notebook and camera to monitor the experiment.
Come to think of it, I was watching Sharon read the news last night.
I think the earth did move a little.

Cleavage is good, healthy, environmentally safe and even better than a great pint of black..
Bar of soap, lol !
I finally figured out who’s cleavage it is : Halle Berry!

Séamus – I suppose it depends on whether it has a good head in/on it?
Robert – Have you been sitting there for the last year or so trying to identify a pair of boobs? Weirdo.
Yep. Showing a pic of a woman’s cleavage is clearly sexist.
As is a woman showing her own cleavage. Well it must be, mustn’t it?
What would the reaction be if I showed a man’s cleavage?
Well there was a reason for putting fairly well cleavaged young ladies carved out of wood on the prow of the old sailing ships.
It kept Poseidon distracted. So its useful. Won’t somebody please think of the superstitious sailor and his need to keep Poseidon from swimming beneath his vessel?
This public service message is brought to you in honour of our unofficial patron Deputy Frank Flaherty. As keen a mariner as there ever was. Aye.
@ Robert- WOW! I’ve heard of excellent facial recognition abilities, but your skills with boobs are astounding!!
“What would the reaction be if I showed a man’s cleavage?”
Well clearly that’s different because that would neither be sexist nor an example of the objectification of men.
Because it’s not a woman, in case you were about to ask.
Con – There you are now…. Those boobs are there to protect my site from Poseidon. I knew there was a reason.
K8 – I confess I am seriously impressed too. It shows outstanding dedication to the objectification of women, and it also shows where Robert looks first.
Not Twitter – Can men be objectified? I think if Beaut.ie put a picture of my lunch-pack on their fron page, I’d be quite flattered?
I do love a bit of sexist humour and banter…well I did until our very own Women and Equalities Minister Harriet “Harpic” Harman banned it!
Don’t call the barmaid ‘love’, by order of Harriet Harman
Harman reminds me of an ex-leader of Brent Council from the nutty militant days. Had a habit of demanding the police arrest anyone who didn’t agree with her on the council.
Black lady with an African-Caribbean cultural background. It transpired that she’d been handing out ‘grants’ to mysteriously inactive social groups and not bothering with receipts or anything.
When the finance people and the police started to sit up and take an interest she announced that everybody involved was racist and disappeared after being questioned under caution.
When she did turn up again she was brought to court and when the court demanded she turn over the records (which she’d nicked and taken home) she claimed she had buried them with her mother on whatever island she’d been hiding out in.
I kid you not. A deeply nasty piece of work who was able to bully everyone for years because any disagreement with her was ‘racist’ or ‘oppressive’. I think she got 15 years for fraud in the end.
bet Harman brought in that law because no one ever called her ‘love’ or stared down her cleavage. Jealousy is a terrible thing.
Men have been showing their cleavage for years with narrily a peep…it’s called builders bum and I’m ample in that department ladies, wanna look?
BigYin – Please do NOT attach photo.
“I think if Beaut.ie put a picture of my lunch-pack on their fron page, I’d be quite flattered?”
The only way your pic will end up in beaut.ie is if it was pinned to their office dartboard.
Heh! One hundred and eighteeeeeeeeee!
