I think only the women here are going to find this funny, but I found this several months ago and I felt the need to share it.
------------------------
This is an actual letter from an Austin woman sent to American company
Proctor and Gamble regarding their feminine products. She really gets
rolling after the first paragraph. It's PC Magazine's 2007 editors'
choice for best webmail-award-winning letter.
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 LeakGuard Core 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 menstrual 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 customer's monthly visits from
'Aunt Flo'. Therefore, you must know about the bloating, puffiness, and
cramping we endure, and about our intense mood swings, crying jags, 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------ kidding me? What I mean is, does any
part of your tiny middle-manager brain really think happiness - actual
smiling, laughing happiness, is possible during a menstrual 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, there will
never be anything 'happy' about a day in which you have to jack
yourself up on Motrin and Kahlua and lock yourself in your house just
so you don't march down to the local Walgreen's 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 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
bulls***. And that's a promise I will keep.
Always. . .
Best,
Wendi Aarons
Austin , TX

I dunno if they sell that brand of....products over there in the UK, but in the states, they really do have "Have a happy period" printed on them. There's nothing happy about that unless you're a masochist!

the first one seems like a really good idea. i think you ******bags should see what us ladies have to deal with each month. maybe then you'll get your heads out of your ***es and stop being such ***holes every time we show emotion. we have enough to deal with as it is. and i like how you all chalk it up to that when WE'RE upset, but whats your excuse? you guys are moody ALL THE TIME! one little thing goes wrong and your day is shot, but thats not enough, oh no. you have to ruin my day too! men! and the second video is a short film that accompanies an album by robbie williams. just cuz its weird i suppose.

I wondered why you were not on msn ¬¬ Also did I mention they have changed this products branding in the UK to "Have a nice day".
