Or, There's A Cramp For That!
I’m not sure how I feel about this, but it seems Betty Crocker is taking on PMS (Pre-Menstrual Syndrome).
To add even more of a bizarre twist to it, they are taking on PMS (Pissy Mood Syndrome) via a freak’in iPhone app. Yeah, there’s an app for that (god help us all!)
On one hand, every 28 days, they send you a $1.00 off coupon for their Warm Delights microwavable cakes, but on the other hand do I REALLY want to share information about my menses & PMS (Plainly; Men Suck) with General Mills, those same fine people that make Fruit by the Foot and Hamburger Helper???
BTW, in the interest of equality, I guess guys can get the $1.00 off coupons too (it they are a big enough of a weenie to admit that they know about that app!)
I guess it’s the iPhone app which I find most offensive. For example It has a:
Count Down Timer - Lets you know when your next coupon (and period) will be arriving… Wonderful. Electronic “cramps”! Freak’in YAY!
“Avoid the Drama” Function – “Keep the hell away from me” ecard warnings… I figure if somebody doesn’t know I’m going to be a bitch every 28 days they deserve to lose that arm, dammit!
"Apology Crafter" Function - Apologies “for every situation”… “Gee, sorry about ripping that arm off buddy-boy, but next time I bet you’ll remember!”
So like I said, I’m not sure how I feel about this whole deal. I think I’m probably more inclined to grab a Hersey’s Bar and tell Apple and General Mills to go f*ck themselves before having them be involved with my PMS (People Make me Sick).
What are your thoughts???
P. (m) S. Yeah, I am. Got a problem with that, asshat????

Betty Crocker is really run by men. I read the damn book.:)
This was very funny. I needed that. The family car with 200,000 miles on it broke down today.
Bring on Hershey's

Thanks for the grins!
Rated for growing technological insanity.
@ RomanticPoetess: Just to show how much of a bitch I am = I stole every one of the mini Hershey bars from the Halloween candy we had in the house. ;~)
@ Lunchlady 2: YAY! Us real bitches don't need no stink'in cycles, do we! :~D
What exactly is apple brown betty, anyway? Does it contain chocolate?
Mystified
P(M)S: I don't clip coupons. It is beneath my dignity.
I read somewhere that one woman had a vanity plate made for her car that read "PMS 24-7".
Now she is someone I'm definitely NOT going to cut off in traffic......!
What's next? Are we going to need Apps to teach us how to breathe? Is it just a phone, or are we lab rats in a gigantic staging ground for a mass experiment in electronic dependence?
There are a lot of reasons I like being a woman. Menarche was NEVER one of them.
is everyone in the world besides me regular? my alarm clock is knowing the second before the first gush (sometimes enough time to save the undies, sometimes not)
Yep, I agree. Probably made by a stupid guy who can't count and thinks everybody is in the same boat.
