43-year-old man, who was not identified, tracked down his former
girlfriend and dragged her out of&amp;nbsp;a Genoa bar before pushing her into
his car and taking her home.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="margin-top:0in;margin-left:0in;margin-right:0in;" class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;There, he threatened her with physical harm before forcing her to wash and iron his clothes.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;For some reason, this reminds us of the movie &amp;quot;Swept Away,&amp;quot; an very dark Italian comedy about a battle of the sexes. Cabin boy and bleached blond married woman are shipwrecked, fall in love, then fall apart when the cabin boy wants her to be his subservient house wench. Maybe that&amp;#39;s what happened here... although the original story may have said it best, however har-har it may have been:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Guess he wanted to iron out their differences. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;p&gt;Told you it was kinda lame.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Via &lt;a href="http://www.app.com/apps/pbcs.dll/section?category=PluckPersona&amp;amp;U=cce7c5f9d55442c7b8aeafa5e07cafe5&amp;amp;plckController=PersonaBlog&amp;amp;plckScript=personaScript&amp;amp;plckElementId=personaDest&amp;amp;plckPersonaPage=BlogViewPost&amp;amp;plckPostId=Blog%3acce7c5f9d55442c7b8aeafa5e07cafe5Post%3ac2c88409-166b-45d0-8290-b50cabccd696&amp;amp;sid=sitelife.app.com" target="_blank"&gt;Asbury Park Press&lt;/a&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://nerve.com/CS/aggbug.aspx?PostID=102109" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description><category domain="http://nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/divorce/default.aspx">divorce</category><category domain="http://nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/breakups/default.aspx">breakups</category><category domain="http://nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/kidnapped/default.aspx">kidnapped</category><category domain="http://nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/housecleaning/default.aspx">housecleaning</category><category domain="http://nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/Breakup+of+the+Week/default.aspx">Breakup of the Week</category><category domain="http://nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/Italian/default.aspx">Italian</category><category domain="http://nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/tags/housewives/default.aspx">housewives</category></item><item><title>FYI Boys: If You Want To Get Some, Get Some Housework Done </title><link>http://nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/03/07/fyi-men-if-you-want-to-get-some-get-to-cleaning.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 07 Mar 2008 21:50:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">bd485f5c-a45b-491f-8e52-c79e7f680fc3:76461</guid><dc:creator>Katie Halper</dc:creator><slash:comments>21</slash:comments><wfw:commentRss xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">http://nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/rsscomments.aspx?PostID=76461</wfw:commentRss><comments>http://nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/archive/2008/03/07/fyi-men-if-you-want-to-get-some-get-to-cleaning.aspx#comments</comments><description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;a href="http://nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/01/01-07/cal.jpg"&gt;&lt;img src="http://nerve.com/CS/blogs/scanner/2008/01/01-07/cal.jpg" border="0" height="528" width="376" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Apparently, nothing turns women on more than a man who knows how to
work his own equipment. And nothing brings women more pleasure than a
man who takes the initiative and whips out his big, strong, powerful...
vacuum cleaner. According to a&lt;a href="http://www.contemporaryfamilies.org/subtemplate.php?t=briefingPapers&amp;amp;ext=menshousework"&gt; report&lt;/a&gt; published on the&lt;a href="http://www.contemporaryfamilies.org/index.php"&gt; Council of Contemporary Families&lt;/a&gt;
(CCF) website, men who do housework in the home may get more playtime in the bedroom: &amp;quot;Equitable sharing of housework is
associated with higher levels of
marital satisfaction -- and sometimes more sex too! Wives report
greater feelings of sexual interest and affection for husbands who
participate in housework.&amp;quot; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;So boys, If you want to get off, get off the
couch, put down the remote, pick up your duster, and get to cleaning.&amp;nbsp; And then, maybe,
your wife will put on a French maid outfit and whip out your duster. Sounds
like marital bliss to us. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Readers, what do you think? Men who clean: sexy or un sexy?&amp;nbsp;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;&lt;i&gt;Photo: &lt;a href="http://urbanphotography.co.uk/index.php"&gt;Urban Photography&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/i&gt;: &lt;a href="http://urbanphotography.co.uk/shop/product_info.php?cPath=21&amp;amp;products_id=28"&gt;Housework Calendar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
