    I just... I... can't even... no.

    I thought she was going to punch him in the face there for a minute. When even Hannity seems to think you are crazy, you should probably go home and rethink your life.

    I mean, I'm not going to lie. The very first time it happened, I just could not stop laughing. It was just so random and the reaction was so hilarious. But unpacking the fact that it is always a man yelling it in front of a woman reporter does make one take a pause.

    And, of course, it was immediately not funny. I mean, the second time it happened, I was already over it. Just speaking in a strictly humor based way. I can't imagine anyone still thinking it's funny at this point. Even setting aside the misogynistic overtones.

    Overtones? That's pretty blatant. There really are no "overtones" about it. It's reducing a female reporter to an object to ****. That dudebro who said his mother would find it hilarious... "eventually" is a piece of ****.

    Thanks so much, that's one acronym I could easily live without knowing about.

    Fortunately I haven't had breakfast yet or it'd be... [face_sick]

    That whole breed of dudebros is sickening. They are worse than the nerdy basement creeps because they get out more.

    I'm sorry. If it helps, I didn't know about this until the video went viral and it's also something I could have lived without knowing about.

    The hilarious thing is that a bunch of those douches will get the acronym tattooed on their bodies somewhere during a drunken dudebro leg humping session , forever branding them as the scumbags that they are.

    Irritates me that the reporters in the studio when asking for peoples reactions actually say 'is it just boys being boys?'

    Is it ever something good when it's 'boys being boys'?

    We need to do something about they way boys are taught to be boys... makes them grow up to be ***hole dudebros who can bench 250 pounds.

    Actually I find it sexist--towards men.

    When dudebro ***hole behavior is labelled as "boys being boys", it comes with the assumption that men are incapable of behaving decently because they are men.

    If that isn't misandry, I don't know what is.

    Thankfully it's also a load of bull****.

    ETA: Juliet posted the video, I found this article.

    Julia Leconte's remarks need to be read, over and over again, by anyone who has any question about why that meme is not the least bit funny.

    The bit that jumped out at me was 'old and unfunny' that means it's been going for a while. Clearly I've been hanging out with the wrong kind of people not to know about this before.

    (Yes, that is an oil slick of sarcasm sufficient for a few super-tankers dripping from the above sentence.)

    The original video was actually funny. It was, of course, a staged skit, so it had some actual timing and acting involved.

    I wish they were more creative, because breaking into street interviews is in itself a wholesome and worthwhile undertaking.

    I dunno, I never found FHRITP to be terribly funny as much as awful and humiliating.

    Yeah... I don't see the humor in it. It sounds a whole lot like "rape that woman," to me.

    I think both FHRITP and street interviews are awful and humiliating.
    So what they should do is come up with an alternative rebellious act that's not degrading.

    I am imagining a street interview-bomb where someone interrupts mid-shoot with some interesting scientific facts. Still rebellious, but at least the perp gives beneficial information.
