Ok,you have all seen the ads for "happy periods"on TV right?

It's for the poor girls in africa who miss 3 school days when they have their period and no protection.
So for every Tampon you buy a few cents is donated to the tampon fund for African girls. So they dont miss school for lack of a pad and leakage.

When I first saw the ad on tv I thought....holy fuck! No way you can portray a period on a gal as being happy.

Where do they get these marketers?
What are they teaching people in university to come up with lame ass ads like this?

So they use African kids to sell their products,pretty lame and I hope it backfire's on them.

All kidding aside - not every woman gets PMS, and most cycles pass fairly uneventfully.

We've been able to swim and ride bikes for decades.


Besides... I remember a couple of times as a teen that I was very happy to get my period. :D


Yeah, unless you are lying in your bed for 3 days, cramping, splitting headaches so you can't see straight and leaking and making a mess so you have to change 6 times a day because 'the happy period'-stuff don't do what they say they should...

Didnt you see the ad on tv? a couple of penny's are put towards providing tampons for poor girls in Africa so they dont MISS any classes due to not having any protection.Thats why they call it your "happy" period.

Naw, she's well into menopause. I'd not worry about pms, I'd worry about her nuking El Salvador or some such in a hot-flash induced fit of rage. :wink:

PMSing women don't take it out on strangers. They take it out on their boyfriend or husband.

I'd be more worried about her nuking california then some strange land. :lol:
