  Husbands beat wives.

  Husbands are men.

  Men watch football.

  Therefore, football watching contributes to wife-beating.


Duh.

This is what passes for rational thinking these days.  What's even more

mignon and go on to congradulate themselves on how compassionate and
enlightened they are.

Double duh.
