    That works, those gnomes have a important duty! They are even in commercials about travel, they have new ones with guns, rifles, RPG, flame thrower. http://www.etsy.com/listing/102568746/unpainted-combat-garden-gnome-with

    though I did like that comment about "rapey eyes" LOL

    I liked "Straight out of Mordor." It's good for men's self-esteem to know where they come from.

    The painful irony of this video (although framed as comedy) is that it shows how much women resent men's self-esteem.

    If this weren't a parody -- as it clearly is -- and if women described themselves to an artist and then men described those same women, you would have exactly the opposite results. The women's description would result in the "ugly" portrait, while the men's description would result in the good-looking portrait.

    Even though it's comedic, this video is seething with rage and hurt that men, no matter what they look like, almost always consider themselves good looking. Women generally are much, much harder on themselves. That's a very real phenomenon, presented here by showing the flip side of the coin.

    Having said all of that, the "rapey" eyes comment was brilliant!

    you've seen the Dove video this is based off of, right? The one where women do, in fact, describe themselves in a less flattering way than others describe them.

    Didn't find this funny in the least, people who have self esteem or my case (ED) problems constantly hate the way they look. Those who don't have psychological problems like that will never understand, and shouldn't attempt to. It's disappointing to see this was posted on a website that is supposed to be about bettering ourselves. Disgusting
