- openthink, on 06/15/2008, -0/+36Great. Just once I'd like to wake up to this sign. Add a pool table, a basketball court, a couple computers, a few other basics, we're done.
- alapoet, on 06/15/2008, -0/+25Sounds like a good time to THIS dad.

- Filipp0, on 06/16/2008, -1/+13I'd rather have sex with Solid Snake's hot wife.
- inactive, on 06/16/2008, -0/+12I'd rather have sex with a hot wife.
- ShitStainedBall, on 06/16/2008, -0/+11If my son did this for me, he would be getting a hell of a birthday gift. However, next year he should add a stripper.
- forthegift, on 06/16/2008, -0/+10That's a family that gets it, giving dad a real day off
- inactive, on 06/16/2008, -0/+10I have a feeling that for a lot of dads this sign is there everyday...
- Vironex, on 06/16/2008, -0/+10Well, *****.
- jaggedwind, on 06/16/2008, -0/+9nice. send in the keg, oreos, ribs, cigars -- porn ok on fathers day? -- and lock the gate and take the day, dad. Because tomorrow the fantasy's over and it's back to the grind.
- tacroy, on 06/16/2008, -1/+9I don't know about the liberal mass media part, but I second the general "Men are morons" movement that culture has taken.
One day grab a notepad and pencil and watch the advertisements. Make a list of who is the butt of the "joke".
I've found a few interesting things.
If there are kids, then the parents are stupid.
If it's an adult couple, then the male is stupid.
Very rarely is it the opposite. I wonder if it is less that the liberal media hates men and more about being afraid of doing anything that might be considered offensive or sexist which results in adult men being the "safe" target. - EatingPie, on 06/16/2008, -4/+11Add Metal Gear Solid... and um... hot sex with the wife... and I'm there!
-Pie - shondell, on 06/16/2008, -1/+8OMG THAT SIGN IS SO FUNNY AND ORIGINAL!
- Stanks, on 06/16/2008, -2/+9Uhhh, really? Is that the best imaginable day as a father? Wow. Can't wait to start a family and hate every day of my miserably mundane life....
- houndeyex, on 06/16/2008, -1/+8It sounds like she needs a visit from the back side of your hand.
- urothane, on 06/16/2008, -1/+7As a divorced dad, for me it isn't about the day off, but about a special day with the kids. I don't get to see them enough as is.
- shoopdawoop, on 06/16/2008, -0/+6digg comments are serious business
- breckinshire, on 06/16/2008, -0/+5At the same time?
- brandonelliott, on 06/16/2008, -0/+5wow that sign was very G rated, not used to things on digg being appropriate for all ages.
- inactive, on 06/16/2008, -8/+13Why is it that our liberal media portrays fathers as bafoons? By denigrating fathers in television shows, cartoons and in movies, is our media not doing its best to rip the fabric of the family apart? The father is the cornerstone to any family. This is not art imitating life, but liberal mass media directing social perception.
- FatBird19, on 06/16/2008, -0/+4About as funny as 90% of the cards I looked through at the grocery store last Saturday...
- charmedguy18, on 06/16/2008, -0/+4"Why can't father's day be every day?"
Because it would create obesity and alcoholism in every father, instead of just the ones that were already morons. - inactive, on 06/16/2008, -1/+5it does, grow weed, profit.
- Stennie, on 06/16/2008, -0/+4Thanks for this. I almost forgot that all fathers are supposed to conform to the Homer Simpson stereotype.
- louiebaur, on 06/16/2008, -1/+4That is the new roadmap for my life:-)
- UtahApocalyse, on 06/16/2008, -0/+3Metal Gear Solid and Hot Wife in the same house? not going to happen.
- urothane, on 06/16/2008, -0/+3I am just in awe and how profound that was.
- pintomp3, on 06/16/2008, -0/+3every day except father's day.
- elygirl, on 06/16/2008, -0/+3Father's Day? This is every day!
- zadadka, on 06/16/2008, -0/+3"Anyone can be a father...it takes someone special to be a daddy". (not my own quote)
If a father thinks he "deserves" to put up such signs, by inference rejecting the attendance of those whose adulation and adoration he should proudly receive on this special day....then, chances are, he's not much of a daddy....YMMV. - Filipp0, on 06/16/2008, -1/+3Looks like a ransom note, those letters are really weird.
- inactive, on 06/16/2008, -6/+8Not. Funny.
- CheeseBiscuits, on 06/16/2008, -0/+2So that's what they look like.
- gabbagabbahey, on 06/16/2008, -1/+3Ever noticed...mother's day is always about giving mom a break from the kids but father's day is always about dad spending time with the kids. May have made sense in my father's generation but not anymore.
Wish my wife would let me do at least half a day of this on father's day. - Screwy1138, on 06/16/2008, -1/+3yay more propaganda making sure everyone thinks of fathers as baffoons.
sorry to be so serious... but weren't we just talking in another thread how society isn't taking fathers and their role seriously enough? It's stuff like this that contributes to that image. - wontstoptalking, on 06/16/2008, -4/+6There are actually two fathers days throughout the year:
One is on the third Sunday in June, called Father's Day.
The other is on the second Sunday of May, and it is called "Get suspiciously manly gifts for you wife, which will be used only by the Father, yet excuses are given as to why the gift is for the Mother." Such gifts include TV's (as was my case...) beer coolers, patio sets, male bicycles ("oops, I thought that was a girl's bicycle!"), computers, etc. - KingGorilla, on 06/16/2008, -0/+2Otacon?
- Monkeydew06, on 06/17/2008, -0/+2yeah, no *****... What kind of people are on digg these days? It's a travesty to see something so unorginal and unfunny hit the front page...
- Andrwmorph, on 06/16/2008, -1/+3#4: "Getting blown"
- Monkeydew06, on 06/17/2008, -0/+1What kind of people are on digg these days? It's a travesty to see something so unorginal and unfunny hit the front page...
- thcobbs, on 06/16/2008, -0/+1According to the card I got from my daughter, I'm made of money.... even had a doctor with an xray window on it.
- fxu1989, on 06/16/2008, -0/+1mmmmmmmm....boobies
- openthink, on 06/16/2008, -0/+1Like the pool table idea too. Maybe a BBQ, huge flat screen, perfect for Father's Week.
- inactive, on 06/16/2008, -1/+2I'm reminded of "Home Improvement." In that show, both parents failed miserably at their stereotypical skills. There were running jokes about how the mom couldn't cook, and of course Tim Allen was always breaking things he was supposed to be building.
I think part of it just has to do with the fact that couples are often portrayed in a home setting, which is supposed to be the woman's domain. Therefore, the need exists to uphold gender stereotypes and demonstrate that the woman must focus on the home, because the man is incompetent in that domain.
There just aren't many opportunities to present the opposite case, of women failing miserably in a domain where their husbands dominate. The best example I can think of is "I Love Lucy," in which whenever Lucy tried to get involved in her husband's affairs, things always went comically badly. Basically, I think a large part of it is just that it's a lot harder to come up with situations in which a woman is involved in her husband's affairs than situations in which a man tries to take over domestic duties. - chorley, on 06/16/2008, -2/+2Well, that was gay. Maybe "comical" to foreigners/morons...
