"GOOD ONE HONEY! Did not see that coming."

The Power of Crowd Sourcing. When Fox News provided a list of ten pranks to help your marriage (as we all know, that junior high locker room horse play was really preparation for a healthy and loving monogamous relationship), the Internet rose as one to say, "These are fantastic, but we need more!" Sorting the comments by Popular/ Best shows you how normal people, people just like you and me, added a little butter and salt to this Paula Deen-esque confection of an article.
What the hell is that article. My God. I am dumber having read it.

If you really want to connect with your spouse who finds these "pranks" hilarious, you'd have to include some pranks that include farts since the demographic you're playing with is obviously young teen or preteen boys.

Men who forget to floss their teeth increase the bacteria in their gums, and this bacteria can travel through the bloodstream, combine with plaque and clog blood vessels which make getting an erection difficult.
Is this.... even remotely possible?

The first article that greets you on Amber Milt's blog begins:
I have two pet peeves: people who are rude in the morning and chipping my nails. Few things annoy me as much as spending an hour in the salon, only to smudge my manicure as I walk out the door . . .
The woman makes Meghan McCain look like Martha Gellhorn. I wonder what her actual life is like, if she's got this kind of gig at her age.
Godek gives better playfully romantic advice than this. Too bad the comments were closed -- or rather, capped off. This could have been an epic Amazon review-style thread. Very funny as it is, though.

Half of these "pranks" would be considered gaslighting if the genders in this article were reversed.
Also, considering how dumb your partner would have to be to fall for some of these, it might be considered exploitation of a vulnerable person and require intervention by some state authority or another.

Bad oral hygeine is linked to circulatory issues including blood flow. Linking it to erection issues is conjecture based on that correlation. If someone has erection issues there are so many other causes to investigate first that mentioning flossing is inane (but not asinine in my opinion.)

I'm good friends with someone who works at one of the "creative writing" farms here in Berlin that is responsible for articles like these. News/Magazine companies outsource the work to content-creation companies in "creative industry" cities like Berlin. The workers (mostly university grads with no other job prospects and/or artists needing "day jobs") receive instructions like "we need a list of 10 eco-travel tips at 500 words" or "write a comparison of these 5 baby-care products" and told to produce the work as quickly as possible. They're usually not even told what magazine/newspaper/etc this will appear in. The workers are usually paid very low wages (note: in Berlin, there's no legal minimum wage) and are hired and fired as "freelance consultants" who just happen to have their workspace provided by their only contractor.

Oh god this whole site is just a horrible cornucopia of sadness. So many references to being self-conscious about your body, needing the lights off during sex, hiding your (extensive) beauty regimen behind closed doors, organizing every aspect of your dress and demeanor around snaring a husband or keeping him satisfied or at least preventing him from divorcing you, the bult-in assumption that of course his libido will be stronger than yours... I don't recognize these women. Are these real women they're writing for?

6 Bad Excuses You're Using To Skip Sex: Got 7 to 13 minutes? Then you’ve got enough time to get it on.
Soooo sad...
Not really, for two reasons:
1.) Yes, it's always nice to have a nice long doin'-it session, but the reality of life (especially once you have kids) is that these opportunities are few and far between. If you've only got ten minutes to have an intimate moment with your partner, then on balance it's better to take the ten minutes rather than wait for your next two hours.
2.) Partners who know each other well can (not always, but usually) get each other off in ten minutes, AKA "the Lily and Marshall rule." So it's not even wasted effort.

Build an empire of hubby's favored media outlets, replacing investigative reporting with a fun, sexy combo of tabloid sensationalism and hard-right agitprop! If you're lucky and well-funded, and your timing lines up with other disruptive trends in the media economy, you can even cause the ones you don't buy to cheapen their own journalistic standards and retail shallow, falsely balanced shouting-heads in order to compete, so hubby will be able to find precious little serious journalism anywhere! Oh, he'll laugh when he finally figures out the prank you've pulled!

Amber Milt's blog reveals that she still struggles with writing -grammar, punctuation, vocabulary - and desperately requires the support of Fox copyeditors:
American’s spend close to $5 billion on fragrance a year
Certain scents reminisce memories, and your scent certainly should not bring up memories of grandma
Across the board, men were against floral scents, one even said that, “Overly flowery and sweet is a turn off.”
...In the same way that Socio, Political and Economic trends fluctuate over the decades...
there’s few things less sexy
post-Bowl Monday’s should be set aside to recover from our awful, and inevitable hangovers?!?
We’ve been invited to a friends party .
It's interesting that it's possible to write so very many words while contributing absolutely nothing new to the entire culture.

Men who forget to floss their teeth increase the bacteria in their gums, and this bacteria can travel through the bloodstream, combine with plaque and clog blood vessels which make getting an erection difficult.
Is this.... even remotely possible?
It seems... um..... unlikely.
Yogurt, kombucha, and kimchi are hardly erection killers, if only judging by populations in Asia.

Ask big tall hubby to double-check the battery in the bedroom smoke detector; what he won't know is you used a stepladder to replace it already—with a jalapeno pepper! Get ready for some spicy laughs!
Okay this one could actually be hilarious if you made it into an ongoing game of one-upsmanship where you each kept secretly replacing things without telling in a sort of long-con-ish way. (And not, you know, live saving devices.)
Oh sure, I can fix that, let me just get my socket set... dammit, my 3/8" socket has been replaced by an acorn!
Here, you can borrow my pen... wait, I'm sorry, I thought I had one in my purse but apparently it seems to have been replaced by the stalk of a candy cane.
You have a headache? Oh, let me get you the aspirin... which seems to have been replaced by M&Ms.

Develop a strong interest in televised sporting matches, then barge in on his habitual, assumed-to-be-clandestine viewing of pornography and yell "Change the channel - the victor of the televised sporting match is about to be decided!" He will be somewhat more aroused by your interest in televised sports than he is in viewing pornography, and soon enough you will find yourselves engaged in the acts portrayed on the screen of the darkened "man cave." (e.g. sex). That is, unless you actually have developed a genuine interest in televised sporting matches, no doubt due to your own arousal induced by the athlete's form-fitting uniforms.

Meanwhile, someone's left a cow carcass on my couch. At least it's company whilst Wimbledon is on.

Dog owner? When the man of the house is due home, get your furry friend under the covers with you and wait for him to find you in the bedroom. Shout "it's not what it looks like!" and watch him do a double-take! You can bet he'll want to show his best friend how it's really done!

I was wrong, the curse was not lifted, the madness was not absorbed by brave passerby, it was magnified, and turned helicopter!

Due to inevitable hubby prank escalation, you must up the ante for maximum Scoville scale bedroom piquance, but keep it simple with a classic, because the Hubs loves him a callback!
Replace the internal components of Cliff HUBstables Macbook Pro with earthworms.
RAM? Earthworms.
Harddrive? Earthworms.
Power supply? Earthworms!
Make sure you have enough worms that the Hubbie Telescope sees your message loud and clear!
If a slimey mass of writhing pink worms jammed into his motherboard doesn't shine his Hubcaps (if you know what I mean), nothing will!
