Have you seen these "CBS Cares" public service announcements? You know, the ones where some B-list celebrity tells you should show your love for your girlfriend or wife by scheduling her for a pap smear? I'm almost scared to watch TV until this PSA run is over.
I've asked several women I know how they would react if their boyfriend unilaterally scheduled them for a pap smear. Short answer, from everybody: Run for the hills, fast, to avoid Mr. Creepy Controlling Guy.
Seriously, CBS. On what planet did this seem like a good idea? One, nobody wants to hear about pap smears during prime time TV. Two, it's just inappropriate for a guy to schedule intimate medical procedures (ANY medical procedures) for a woman. Among other things, it implies that she's incapable of doing so for herself, or that she's too stupid to know that she needs to have such things.

Thanks for nothing CBS.
Funny, Rich

Hmmm.... could this campaign give a whole new meaning to the phrase "fake, but accurate"? I'd Rather it didn't.
Ba da boom! I'm here all week, folks. Try the veal. Tip your waitress!
