'Mansome' Is Just Nuts

Over the weekend, we went to see "Mansome," Morgan Spurlock's documentary about the state of masculinity. Despite a couple of likable subjects -- Movember co-founder Adam Garone, Spurlock himself -- and a fun running conversation with the Bluth brothers (aka Jason Bateman and Will Arnett), the film is a dud. IMDB claims that it was 1 hour and 24 minutes, but it felt more like 30 days, with entirely too much time spent focusing on a competitive beard grower and a Sikh guy who hates himself, and not enough time on other topics ripe for examination (steroids, plastic surgery trends, body dysmorphia, et al.). Still, despite the waste of time and money, I did learn one thing. Apparently when your nut sack gets sweaty and sticks to your legs, it's called "bat wings." And if this is an issue for you, you're in luck: There's a product on the market to combat this called -- what else? -- Fresh Balls. Now that may just have been worth the $13 price of admission.

I understand what Spurlock was doing when he did that movie about fast food, but I think he is a little too egotistical for my tastes. On the TV show he had, he just acted like such a p*ssy.
