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.

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

no I think they're insinuating that he was our first female President.

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.

Duh, that's why, rather than see gay cowboy movies, we want to see an action flick with the bad guy getting his due.

Yes, but how would you feel if Bill Clinton got a mild electric shock?

They needed a study for this?

Sorry, no sexual interest in Detective Mackey here. I just think Chiklis is a great actor. I don't know how they got Glen Close on that series, but she's doing a pretty good job too.
