The Smoking Myth

myths_smoking_woman

You are not sexy because you smoke - you are sexy, because you are pretty, young and fertile - and your skin doesn’t look and smell like you already have smoked for several decades.

Let me pleasure your oral fixation in another way …

The Housewife Myth

myth_housewife

Woman are much better then men running the household. Nah, it’s just old traditional thinking. So many modern women can’t cook, can’t organize, still hate ironing and are as sloppy as guys.

The Plane Safety Myth

myth_switch_off

Using electronic gadgets on a plane can cause a crash. Anyone failed to mention that planes are stuffed with tons of redundant electronics themselves. Plus they can even cope with with thunderstorms.

The Single Woman Myth

myth_gillian_anderson_cleans_da_house

I am a happy single woman, I don’t need a guy. My biological clock isn’t ticking neither is my brain. I am never lonely. I never eat Haagen Däz in desperation, I’ve never seen a single episode of ‘Sex in the City’ and I never buy more shoes that I ever need. Right?

The Offending Myth

myth_offending

If someone is offended by a joke then this race, religion, company, lifestyle or person has a serious flaw. Any imbalance from within creates insecurity that won’t respond kindly to jokes and sarcasm.

The Memo Myth

myth_memo_funfare_ass_trumpet

In corporate lifestyle any memo from the middle management is equal to a brain fart. Good thing that all email programs offers a filter and an autodelete function.

The Pet Food Myth

myth_futtern_mit_gary

Only the best ingredients for your beloved pets. I guess many starving people would kill such a great feast. Many pets in industrial countries are incredibly spoiled.

The Marketing Myth

myth_hairdryer

Marketing tells us all the truthiness about the USPs* of a new product or service we don’t need nor want. Isn’t that great that whole armies of brains are working overtime to make up reasons to buy crap? What a waste of human potential!

The Samurai Myth

myth_seven_samurai_myth

Samurai are all honorable gentleman, well educated and spiritual down to their core. They only beheaded peasants only for their own good - and slaughtered each other over centurys for a good cause - the lust for power.

The Fart Myth

Yes, women fart - and they are the worst liars about it! I was eye witness to several female companions who performed exploding farts while sleeping. Shocked they woke up and they blamed someone else of course …

The Consumer Scare Myth

myth_fear_in_advertising

The more you scare me to buy your insurance, washing powder or incontinence pants the more likely I am going to kill myself instead of buying all that crap. Stop worrying people - there is no reason to panic about consumer goodies. Life is already complicated enough - we already have politicians who scare us with more serious stuff.

The Healthy Mind Myth

Olympia 2004 Mr. Olympia Finals

“A healthy mind in a healthy body” - yeah right! Overall the fitness and sports industry and so called experts have inspired people to do more stupid stuff to themselves then anybody else.

Although I agree that physical exercise does influence the human psyche - most modern disciplines like Body Building or Aerobic ignore the wisdom of old traditions like Yoga to include so called ‘inner processes’ in the workout.

The Journey Myth

myths_red_shoes_yellow_brick_road

No, the journey is not a reward in itself. Many paths lead to wrong solutions and some mistakes are irreversible. And not every lesson is worth learning - some seriously suck and have no ‘higher’ value whatsoever. And finally: not every journey ends with a happy end - not everybody gets to see the big Wizard and collect all the rewards.

The Collapse Myth

myth_reagan_berlin_wall

No Ronald Reagan did not bring down communism - it simply collapsed under it’s own weight. Soviet economists already warned their ignorant Politbüro in the 70’s that without market reforms the union could no longer ‘work’. Gorbatchev was smart enough to admit the final failure instead of doing anything stupid.

The good old Traditions Myth

myth_trachten_glocken

We shouldn’t keep all the old traditions - many are out of date, racist, sexist or simply stupid. The same applies to wearing old traditional costumes like Dirndls or Kilts. Why not dress in leopard skins and mammoth fur as well?!
