Did you buy the new finding that men has cramps? Found it funny? I didn;t really, maybe i don’t have a sense of humor. I thought it was corny how they tried so hard by linking to major historical events and overdoing the incredulity factor to make it sound mildly believable yet funny at the same time. Truth is, this is really a viral ad campaign by P&G for ThermaWraps and they created a 7-parter video series and a couple of fake websites you can find by searching for “men with cramps”.

Effort’s there but its too contrived for my liking. The production might be too smooth. Maybe I just ain’t the target market, hence the skepticism, or i am just a chauvinist
