News flash: Birds and bees can't make babies

[Xipe Totec]

they're different species for one, and two, bees are infertile females.

Why did they depict the male as a bee, and the female as a bird?

Is it because men are industrious busy bees, and women are pretty birds?

Stereotype much?

1. "DUDE! You've got to cut BACK on the Budweisers, man. No WONDER you can't get laid."

4. I don't think he's actually a dude

I think that's one of the basic problems.

The beer gut says male, but the black & yellow stripes says female.

6. Back in the 80s, a photography studio in NYC had a bus ad campaign

that featured a bride & groom in their wedding outfits crying over how poorly their wedding pictures turned out - as if a newly married couple puts on their wedding regalia the month or so after their wedding when the professional wedding pictures show up.

7. men have "stingers" and women have eggs

is it really that hard to grasp the imagery?

8. Birds & Bees are different species

is it really that hard to grasp the fundamental disconnect?

9. ROFL.. it is a tool to simplify things so that a child can understand.. yet you can't

stop being so literal


maybe try reading some fiction

11. So they're advocating child sex?

Just asking...

10. mostly because it is an analogy older than dirt

analogies don't have to be correct. In fact, usually they are not.

12. I don't remember the analogy ever involving bees pollinating birds.

Maybe other parents had a different impression of how it works than mine.
