The Japanese health minister has apologized for referring to women as "birth-giving machines," but he didn't escape punishment for his pronouncement.
Yesterday as he arrived at work after attending his first 'political correctness' class, he was greeted by a huge mob of thousands of "ladies," intent on teaching him a lesson about his baby-making comment. Chanting "Wanna see what babies make?" they came armed with weapons of mass destruction -- dirty diapers. Singing the Barney Song ("I love you. You love me. We're best friends like friends should be...."), they flung the diapers en masse at the hapless minister. "He only got what he deserved," one cheerful mom commented.
Police were called to the scene and came armed in riot gear. Not willing to dirty themselves, however, they made no arrests. One cop commented, "I've been in all sorts of horrendous situations, but this was one of the worst. All that poo! It was just too much."
A Spoof reporter observed the health minister, at the end of the attack, removing dirty diapers from his head and frantically using baby wipes to clean his glasses. "I shouldn't have said what I did," the health minister admitted. "Next time I'll just advise the guys to keep their women barefoot and pregnant."
