Video of the Day: Scents that Make Sense for Men?

By Debbie Schlussel
Some smart marketer at GodTube, a Christian website, sent me this video with the message:

No one could do without the Duct Tape scent.

I figure if they were to make “Islamandles” they would need to have the following scents:
Goat
Sweaty fal=lafal Ass
Scud underwear
Camel Ass
Skank in Hajib
Sheiite in your Muslim pants
