Can't somebody think of the children?

Or at least the men who act like them?

German men get own kindergarten

German women fed up with their partners' grumbling on weekend shopping trips can now dump them at a special kindergarten for men offering beer and entertainment.

The men are given a name badge on arrival and for 10 euros (7 pounds) they get two beers, a hot meal, televised football and games.

"Last week the men had a remote control car to play with. Next week there's going to be a mini racetrack," said Stein.

"It beats sitting around in shoe shops, that's for sure," one man told the Sueddeutsche Zeitung newspaper.

At first glance this looks pretty cool. Guys get food, booze and toys instead of holding the purse while wifey tries on yet another outfit. That's awesome! What guy wouldn't love that?

Then sanity rears its ugly head as you realize that the entire concept is just plain stupid. If you don't want to shop with your lady then simply don't go shopping with your lady.

2 Or the receipt. If the wife loses the receipt, do they keep the guy? Sounds like a decent way for a chick to ditch a loser. She knows he's safe so she won't feel guilty. He has beer and TV so he doesn't care. Everybody's happy.

3 I need one of these. Just for the holidays. My mom could park me there and I would never see the inside of a department store again, and I would totally fight those German guys for control of the mini-racetrack.
