Yesterday Jezebel pointed out that the co-creator of Two and Half Men, Lee Aronsohn, said he was tired of all these ladyparts jokes getting airtime. "We are approaching peak vagina on television, the point of labia saturation," Aronsohn said. "Enough, ladies. I get it. You have your periods." Boy, do they! Girls sure are complex. Laugh at Aronsohn for being a sexist hack, but this Vanity Fair spread PROVES that women TV stars form a cabal that conspires to suppress—nay, hold in the fart jokes this country so deserves. And they're drinking scotch! Scotch is for complaining about incontinence!
Sure Aronsohn "apologized" on Twitter, but we can read between the lines: fill your basements up with at least a year's supply of boner gags.
