Women:Still Can’t Park A Car But Irresistibly Delicious To Polar Bears

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Who can forget this video of women wreaking havoc on our roads:

There was always a faint hope among the male drivers that the women can eventually overcome this unfortunate handicap. Sadly, some of us are finally giving up. Our awesome tipster on all things Korean brings us this piece of news:

The city of Iksan in Jeollabuk-do has created “pink line parking” for women drivers in public parking lots. Iksan, chosen by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family (여성부) as the first woman-friendly city, has 25 public parking lots, including at City Hall and the Madong City Library, where the spots are installed, and by the end of the year another 670 spots will go in 21 parking lots throughout the metropolitan area.
The “pink lines”, painted pink, are 2.5 meters wide rather than the standard 2.3, offering aid to women drivers unskilled at parking.

Despite the mortal threat posed by women on the road, it’s doesn’t do anybody any good to complain about it. Even polar bears find them irresistibly delicious (I wish I could give credit here but this story showed up at least 6 times in my reader).

Compare this unfortunate incident to the one involving a man:

A Russian man survived after downing three bottles of vodka and leaping from a fifth floor balcony -- twice.Alexei Roskov says he jumped the second time because he couldn’t take his wife’s nagging about the first time.Wife Yekaterina had watched in horror as her drunken hubsand opened the kitchen window of their Moscow apartment, and hurled himself out.Astonishingly Mr Roskov, 22, survived and managed to stagger back upstairs with barely a scratch after the 50ft fall.But while his wife called for an ambulance and began to scold him, he jumped again.Amazed medics treated Mr Roskov for minor cuts and bruises before releasing him.Mr Roskov says he is now teetotal after giving up drinking, and added: “Now I can say just one thing -- I was very lucky.”I have no idea why I jumped the first time but when I came back up and I heard my wife screaming angrily at me I thought it was best if I left the room again -- out of the window.”

Let him raise his hand who never felt that way…

Geez, if you’re going to climb into the exhibit, don’t dress like a seal. Sheesh.

I remember that first video. Funny stuff. Cliff said that Russian must have been landing on something soft, to have survived a five-story drop twice.

I am giggling about how the ad below the Russian dude’s story is “Depression-Get Rid Of It–When things quit working we start working, 900+ clinics free referral”
