There's the problem: unrealistic expectations. All men are dogs. Accept him for who he is...and don't grill him.

AustinRoth ayon kay ...

What passes for feminist humor in NY these days...

Hagar ayon kay ...

Things look a little bleak and cold in Madison, WI this morning?

Kyzer SoSay ayon kay ...

I hope every writer on that website drops dead. Today. They're horrible.

Wilbur ayon kay ...

This reminds of that insurance commercial where the girl, excuse me, woman whines for too long about her car, "Brad".

Beldar ayon kay ...

"Snakes and snails and puppy dog tails."

Or roughly that illuminating and funny.

Drago ayon kay ...

What's most amusing is that in just a few months Garry Trudeau will produce a comic strip lamenting the ongoing scourge of hot dog/sweater republican college students who are sexually assaulting liberal women on college campuses across the country.

When confronted with the lunacy of such thought, Trudeau will fall back on the "It's the larger narrative that's important!" defense.

Bob Boyd ayon kay ...

What's really changed? She was happy with him before, right? If its all good when the sweater comes off, who cares what her friends think?

Brando ayon kay ...

Just like women--always trying to make men into something they're not!

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

Who knew Andrew Costa was a Trans-womyn?

NotWhoIUsedtoBe ayon kay ...

She only sees him as a piece of meat. Two pieces.

Rob ayon kay ...

Two hot dogs was keeping her satisfied? What was she doing with the second one?

Michael K ayon kay ...

One of those hot dogs got real big if you massaged it. Sort of like the briefcase made of foreskins that became a suitcase when you rubbed it.

rspung ayon kay ...

Not feeling it.

TCR James ayon kay ...

Is it possible that Lena Dunham was actually writing about an Oscar Meyer Wiener that jilted her?

Jonathan Card ayon kay ...

I ... didn't get it.

HoodlumDoodlum ayon kay ...

I understand your Earthling humor-jokes and am one of the gang; fear me not.

Also clickbait headline is clickbait-y.

virgil xenophon ayon kay ...

The big tip-off would be if he had picked her up for a date driving the Oscar Meyer Wiener Car..

MikeR ayon kay ...

Where's Laslo when we need him?
Probably writing that article.

Skeptical Voter ayon kay ...

Well sometimes the hot dog slips out. See Anthony Wiener.

My name goes here. ayon kay ...

"Is it possible that Lena Dunham was actually writing about an Oscar Meyer Wiener that jilted her?"

Oh, c'mon! I've seen Lena Durham. I don't think she would turn down a hot dog.

It was really a vegan named Sky Dancer. But she hates meat eaters so she changed a few details.

Known Unknown ayon kay ...

Hell, we've written funnier stuff on our fake news blog for years, but never got a link from the fair Professor.

Gahrie ayon kay ...

Girls in my day dated cucumbers.....

He's not that bad.

Fred Drinkwater ayon kay ...

Leaden. Flat.
To quote Calvin: "Be funnier!"

Paco Wové ayon kay ...

"an attempt at humor by someone who has seen a lot of it but doesn't understand it"

OMG! Finally a Metafilter commenter I agree with!

Henry ayon kay ...

The original joke is a New Yorker cartoon:

Now that we've fallen in love I have a confession...

mikee ayon kay ...

The author just needs to meet a real man, like Vercingetorix the Fire Chief from Richard Brautigan's Trout Fishing in America.

Oh, wait, that was an absurdist novel from 40+ years ago.

Better dance with the hot dogs what brung ya, hon.

Jaq ayon kay ...

Against my better judgement, I clicked on it. Now I know why I call it my better judgement.

chillblaine ayon kay ...

"I’d heard of this happening to other girls..."

This post was written by a fella named Andrew Costa. He doesn't feel a 'responsibility to produce a punch line,' apparently, just puzzlement. I think I found Garry Trudeau's ghost writer.

Eric ayon kay ...

I'm holding a grudge against you Althouse for tricking me into clicking on that.

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

"Two hotdogs in a sweater" has forever ruined for me the term "sweaterpuppies".

mccullough ayon kay ...

Sometimes a hot dog is just a hot dog.

Steve ayon kay ...

I once confessed to a friend, "All men are dogs." She replied, "But not all dogs are bad."

retired ayon kay ...

Mark's the lucky one.

Not a cure for clickbait, but a sort of palliative:

You can visit all those nasty sites without giving them the benefit of your pageviews.

Rip off of the "My GF is prego" meme.

Anthony ayon kay ...

I thought it was funny. . . ..

Neither do I. I think they are cute

wildswan ayon kay ...

I thought it was pretty funny - every cliche in the sob story set of cliches wrapped around a failure to notice the obvious. It could happen

JCCamp ayon kay ...

That was a waste of several minutes, compounded by commenting on same here. Was it supposed to be humorous? Ironic, perhaps? Commentary on bland boyfriends or unperceptive girlfriends?
10th grade Intro to creative writing B+

I did enjoy many of the comments, including one mentioning the Oscar Weiner Weinermobile. Tricky stuff, that, finding a way to cite the Weinermobile in an intelligent fashion.

MathMom ayon kay ...

Wow. That was a real side-splitter. Really.

Big Mike ayon kay ...

Yeah, everybody knows you don't want hot dogs. Every woman wants a knockwurst.

Bob Ellison ayon kay ...

I L'DMAO. That punchline hit me like an RPG.

Dr.D ayon kay ...

That was the dumbest thing I have read in all 2014! What a fitting climax for the year.

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

I surely hope that is the last nonsensical thing I read in 2014.

Trashhauler ayon kay ...

Perhaps it is true: women have no concept of comedy.

Animaniacs did it better a couple of decades ago:

Bryan C ayon kay ...

I thought it was funny. The checkbox thingy should include "I'm not a hotdog."

MadisonMan ayon kay ...

Just because other people are talking about it, via metafilter, is not a good reason to talk about it.

dreams ayon kay ...

And those years she still thought he had potential.

Freeman Hunt ayon kay ...

I like it. It's better than any true story that would fall under that headline and no more of a time waster.

Unknown ayon kay ...

wait...what? Nevermind

Hindi-nagpakilala ayon kay ...

Huh?? He's a hotdog? Obviously, I'm not understanding this. What am missing?

Unknown ayon kay ...

I think what this article meant about "Old hotdogs" are people who's not who you think they are He appears as a handsome man but turned out to be a man with a stinky attitude.. Maybe in the text messages he won't reply or just ignore her... Or in that besketball team he just sit around the corner and do nothing but wins with the team... I dunno.. Just how I understood it.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
