    It’s clearly taking the piss out of the traditional lead guitarist arrogance. 

    They should have followed it up with a bass pedal called

    ”No nookie for you, you’re the fucking bass player”
    The Crusty Sock maybe. 
    Or an Envelope Filler

    I feel compelled to mansplain to this idiot that the joke has sailed far over her head, bless.

    Have you considered that perhaps 2018 isn't the time for puerile humour such as this?

    I think it's a bit of an embarrassment that gear manufacturers still plough this tired, outdated furrow.

    It's really sad, it's 2018, not 1918 and people still can't spot a piss take. Surely the entirety of Steele Panther is one big joke at the expense of hair metal, this is like banning Ali G for promoting gang violence.

    If you go to the lengths steel panther have gone to be funny, it's no longer funny and kind of tragic. The lead singer actually has plastic surgery - is that part of the parody? 

    Nah, they're shit.

    You could have the same joke without any casual sexism though. So why include it?

    As you say, it's 2018, not 1918, so perhaps women should be treated as equals, not as a basis for crude humour.

    Because the joke isn't on women in this instance? The joke is aimed at men, they are the but of the joke, the guitarist himself is the joke. I know you're too intelligent to not know that so not sure why I'm explaining it.

    Seems like being angry for the sake of it.

    Seriously? She should get a fucking life. So should the gays that moan about someone calling something gay as a mild term of semi endeared piss taking.

    and that’s from me, a master of blowing the pink fucking oboe.
      A " Master " ? .....How's that for self appraisal ..........perhaps the Pink Oboes that have been blown were just telling you nice things so as not to hurt your feelings !
    Don't tell me....." sometimes you do it so good you wish it was you lying there !"

    It just seems distasteful to me; aren't jokes meant to be funny?

    Also not sure why you'd want to make this be about me. Can we not discuss this for what it is without any comments on each other?

    Trouble is humour is subjective much like music, but I don't think something not being to your tastes is reason to outlaw something.

    The joke here is quite obvious that the hair metal bands of the 80s sung about women usually in derogatory ways, and considered themselves love gods of the highest order. The band and everything they do is basically and exaggeration of that, that is the joke. 

    I don't believe for a second that they think that way, it's an act, if acting was real I'd insist on Tom Hanks being my pilot and I'd always ask the plain Tom boy with glasses to prom because she's going to take her hair out, stick on a dress, remove the glasses and become the hottest girl you've ever seen.

    I think @Sporky ‘s point is that the text they use only serves to promulgate the stereotype and although it’s a joke, it does add an air of respectability to the hair metal attitude to women.

    I can see both sides - clearly it’s a joke. But, there isn’t anything in that text that really ridicules that old view of women. 

    I dunno. They could have done a much better job. As it is it just comes across as being a bit crass and cheap.
