I hate you, Zach A., for making me play the Klondike Bar Mancave video game.<\/p>\n

Are you bored of companies targeting their products at men with tired<\/a> and<\/a> insulting<\/a> stereotypes<\/a>? Well, too bad. Because ya’ll keep sendin’ them to us and it’s our job to show them to you.<\/p>\n

In this installment of “men-are-idiots,-let’s-try-to-sell-them-shit-p.s.-women-are-annoying”: the Klondike Bar.<\/p>\n

First, the Klondike Bar “Mancave” home page<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\"8\"<\/p>\n

Notice the Mardi Gras beads?\u00a0 Nice touch.<\/p>\n

Also, is that splooge<\/a> in the corners?<\/p>\n

If you click on the video game, you get to the entry page.\u00a0 It is for “Big Boys” only:<\/p>\n

\"1\"<\/p>\n

Poor Pete.\u00a0 He lives in the (domesticated and feminized) suburbs and wears khakis.\u00a0 Accordingly, he has become a woman:<\/p>\n

\"2\"<\/p>\n

Gah.\u00a0 Being a family is so crappy.\u00a0 It involves hiding in the basement while your wife takes care of “her” kids, until she cock blocks your cock rocking of course:<\/p>\n

\"3\"<\/p>\n

Not being able to watch violence and sex makes Pete’s testicles shrivel up:<\/p>\n

\"4\"<\/p>\n

And when he pops in his secret porn DVD (featuring college age women, of course), your wife just nags and nags:<\/p>\n

\"5\"<\/p>\n

YOU LOSE:<\/p>\n

\"7\"<\/p>\n

So, tell me why this guy is so appealing to so many men?\u00a0 The man is selfish: his wife and the babysitter are desperately trying to get the kids to bed and he retreats from the chaos; it’s annoying that the TV is set up so as to make sure his kids don’t watch violence and sex; he hides a stash of porn featuring college age women from his wife.\u00a0 But at least doesn’t have to do housework!\u00a0 Amirite!?\u00a0 Oh yeah, and women are annoying!\u00a0 Go dudes!<\/p>\n

It’s pathetic, really.\u00a0 Sociologically, I mean.<\/p>\n

Finally, in case you thought Klondike was equal opportunity, here is the screen shot of the generic (non-Mancave) website<\/a>.\u00a0 It leads you straight there:<\/p>\n

\"0\"<\/p>\n

“Dude,” now it’s “thicker.”<\/p>\n
