Study: Men Enjoy Seeing Bad People Suffer Wednesday, January 18, 2006

NEW YORK — Bill Clinton said he felt others' pain. But a new brain-scanning study suggests that when guys see a cheater get a mild electric shock, they don't feel his pain much at all. In fact, they rather enjoy it.

In contrast, women's brains showed they do empathize with the cheater's pain and don't get a kick out it.

Mine either.

[Revolting cat!]

"Shuffering shuckotash!"

[newguy357]

Excellent, someone besides me sees the truth of the matter.

"Making bad people suffer since 2001"

Oh yeah, Jack Bauer is my hero. Breaking fingers, sawing off heads, or the latest when he promises medical attention if the assassin will talk, then blows him away. A pleasurable evening of family entertainment!

[apackof2]

I was always under the impression that women like to suffer bad men and see good men suffer.

That generalization is bigger than the Atlantic!

[A CA Guy]

AMEN!

Bust those bad guys up Jack, make us fell better.

[ElkGroveDan]

Play a video of the Three Stooges and see who in the room laughs.

[apackof2]

What about Vic Mackey of "The Shield"?

He has very effective methods of getting criminals to "cooperate"

[seppel]

me too.

[YaYa123]

Well shut my mouth and call me, Mister!

I'm a guy, I must be. I watched 24 the other night, and when I thought a hostage was going to get shot in the head, I turned away, couldn't watch. But when I knew Jack was going to blow up a terrorist, I got mad because they didn't show the bastard exploding.

I am a woman and I love the Three Stooges

Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk!

I think there's some Catholic school nuns who might put the lie to this one.

[Names Ash Housewares]

No kidding?

Do you feel lucky? (click me)

Do you feel lucky? (click me)

[Brilliant]

You mean women don't? In that case, my wife of 22 years must be a man.

Precisely why I enjoyed watching Clinton suffer during his impeachment and trial! If there had only been an ounce of backbone in the Senate, I could've really had a good time!

[linda_22003]

I don't just laugh, I quote the immortal dialogue before the characters on the screen do. Freaks my husband out.

[JasonC]

And then they looked more closely, and discovered that women cheat.

Just kidding.

[knuthom]

So Fox News is insinuating Bill Clinton lied that he couldn't even feel our pain!

No, they are insinuating that he is a girlie man.

[AngryJawa]

That generalization is bigger than the Atlantic!

Granted, it *is* a generalization. We'll have to dicker over the size of it though.

I was lucky enough to marry an "exceptional" woman.

[apackof2]

LOL or should I say, Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk
