I was at my lunch break at the canteen with my colleagues. The canteen is usually well served with loads of free newspapers like Metro, Urban and 24 Timer. We bury our heads in these tabloids in search of topics for conversation. Someone usually breaks the silence by a laughter, or “fuck, what the fuck is going on, man?” or “check this out”. And suddenly, there is a conversation for the next few minutes.

We dread the day when canteen has no newspapers. Where can we hide?  what conversation can we bring up? Damn, thats a hard one !

Yesterday, as usual, one of my colleagues bursts out into a man-laughter. A ‘man-laughter’ is usually a laugh at a the opposite gender. We men (women have their own table) eagerly wants to know what that was about. It was about this advert for a TV channel for men called Canal9, which usually broadcasts Bruce Willis, Football and cars, about their special World cup football special. The advert has a picture of a dildo and says “And so its the World cup, girls”. You are not going to get your men for the next whole month.

"its the world cup, girls..."

But strangely enough, i was at a sports pub with my friends out to watch the opening match. I was amazed by the amount of girls that turned up there as well. I did notice that they were not there to watch the game on big screen. But instead, they were rating and assessing potential “boyfriend material” while all the unwary men were dumb fixed on to the Big screen.

Let the games begin…., girls !
