The Ass and The Lass

Via reuters,

A textbook used at schools in the Indian state of Rajasthan compares housewives to donkeys, and suggests the animals make better companions as they complain less and are more loyal to their “masters,” The Times of India reported Tuesday.

“A donkey is like a housewife ... In fact, the donkey is a shade better, for while the housewife may sometimes complain and walk off to her parents’ home, you’ll never catch the donkey being disloyal to his master,” the newspaper reported, quoting a Hindi-language primer meant for 14-year-olds.

This is totally lame-ass. The state education officials tried to dismiss this as a “joke”. Considering the state of women related violence and abuse, especially in North, and considering they are peddling this to children with impressionable mind, I am not amused by this idea of humor; even asses have more sense than these morons.
