Today I saw this Mt. Dew commercial that states:
“Fact: Men are four times more likely to be struck by lightning than women.”
I’m having absolutely no doubt that this is an actual fact. I say that not just because the Pepsi people told me so…I say that because men are the only ones dumb enough to be out in the storm in order to be hit by lightning.
Be honest. You don’t see many women going, “Oh a storm! Let me go out there with an umbrella (pole, on the roof, etc, etc) and see what happens. I know there is a chance I may get hit by lightning…but that won’t happen to ME—I”LL show that storm.”
You WOULD, on the other hand, hear a guy say something like that. If you don’t believe me, then you haven’t watched enough of “America’s Funniest Home Videos” or any other video show in which a man begins the clip by stating, “Hey! Watch this!” and then it ends in complete disaster. It’s almost ALWAYS a guy saying and doing those things.
It’s usually the female that’s holding the camera to get the stupidity on film so that she can prove he’s an idiot for the next 20 years.
So I’m sure that this is an accurate statistic. It just doesn’t have anything to do with anything scientific. It’s mere stupidity.
Kudos to all of the men out there (aka morons) that are going out in storms raising statistics like this and making women look even better every day.
That’s why we continue to allow you on the planet.
