Yahoo Reminds Users That 'No' Doesn't Mean 'No'

rawg writes "Looks like Yahoo is resetting their 'Marketing Preferences' again. In an email I received from Yahoo today it states, 'Starting January 1, 2004, Yahoo! will begin to send you messages, via email or postal mail, about our own products and services. You can control the types of messages you receive by visiting your Marketing Preferences at any time'. It also states, 'And, as always, you can delete your Yahoo! account altogether at any time, for any reason, by going to the deletion page.' I deleted my Yahoo account a month ago. I guess they are lying, because I'm still getting their SPAM."

    Well, I guess it is time for all good men to take hold of their trusty shotgun, and go on a rampage where any kind of marketeer should be shot on sight.

    Kill all those goddammed cocksucking sonovabitches!!!

    And often times, even "Yes" means "No"

    Gee, that's funny. I'm married and I get it constantly. Sounds like you need to look at how you are presenting yourself to women.

    Eat recycled food - it's good for the environment, and OK for you.

    It's offtopic, I know, but it's not for this thread, and you guys obviously need some help.

    4 "Nos" that become "Yes" with a skillful lover. First of all, these are not magic tricks. They won't work if you don't care about your wife. They may not get you sex THAT NIGHT. But you will get it more often, and your wife will think more of you and not nag you as much about things you don't do because you're remembering to do the things that matter most to her.

    4. "Yeah, that's what we need, another kid" Guys. There's a real easy way to erase this one from the books. If you're done having kids, go make that trip to the Dr. You know what I mean. Snip snip. It doesn't hurt for long, and it doesn't destroy your sex drive. It just doesn't. You're still a man, get over it.

    3. "I have a headache." If this is not a migraine (my wife gets these-- they're hell) draw a hot bath for her, preferably with bath salts, then rub her temples and scalp. Talk real nice. Be sweet. Then offer to massage her shoulders and back, arms, and feet.

    2. "I just want to cuddle." Ok. Fine. Cuddle. If you can't get there from here, you're just as frigid as her. Massage, coo, talk, talk about her, then move to talking sexy (this does not mean "you don't know how much I want to fux0rz y0ur h07 b0d")

    1. "Could you give me a backrub" Oh come on. This is practically an invitation. Especially because any good backrub will involve eventually getting her bra and shirt off. Get out the lotion and give her a backrub for god's sakes!! Then, after you've eased her muscles with deep muscle rubs, you can lighten your touch and massage her neck and shoulders lightly. Play with her hair. Make her feel like you love her. You do right? This is your wife, right?

    There are so many good books on massage at Amazon, I can't even reccommend just one. Hell, there are so many that Jeff Bezos could probably patent one-click sex-therapy! Pick one that looks good. Buy it. Read it. Practice it. Often. She will love you.
