Don't Marry Career Women: let the remixes begin!

Don't Marry Career Women: let the remixes begin!: Xeni Jardin: Following up on a previous BoingBoing post about an utterly stupid article in Forbes, Gawker has posted this "Cliff's Notes" version:
We realize that many of you lead busy lives; some of you are so busy, in fact, that you probably lack the time to read Forbes' "Stay Away From the Smart Bitches" piece. In that spirit, we've put together a brief summary of the article, based entirely on its slideshow. It actually comes off as a miraculous fairy tale for adults, complete with suitable moral. After the jump, the condensed version of why you shouldn't marry those ball-busting, cash-making whores.
Link (thanks, Violet).

Blogger Jennifer Saylor writes,

There are some things not worth writing a rebuttal to, and this [Forbes] article is one of them. However, I was inspired by Xeni Jardin of BoingBoing to do something with it. I pasted the whole thing to a Word document and then reversed all the gendered nouns and pronouns. Everything below is word-for-word from the article; I did absolutely nothing but switch gender. Ladies and gentlemen, behold: Don’t Marry Career Men.

Our sunglasses went overboard recently while cruising around Newport Harbor here in Rhode Island. Instead of trying to replace them with our usual standbys, we thought we’d do some research to see if there were any “green” ones out there first. We found several fabulous frames at Greenloop that we just love! Sustainable and stylish - those two words sound good together. Made from iWood, each pair of these sunglasses is handcrafted and made from the highest quality wood that is sustainably harvested. They are a tad on the expensive side, but the price is pretty comparable to other high-quality sunglasses. ::Greenloop

I'm supposed to be a Hippie. It's my school's tradition. But I can't. I just can't. I'm too greedy for communism and all that shit.
