Tampires - The tampons that want to suck your blood.

I personally think the spokestampon should have been Tampira, not Tampy.

Is this just the day to find something made up about blood and then post it to the blue?

Ok, my apologies for the snark. That was hilarious.

"Do not expose tampons to sunlight or wear them in church."

I busted a gut upon hearing that bit of advice.

I really like poor puns and period jokes. But - if you'll excuse the pun - this sucks.

The tag under the video says:

The entire idea is so genius and the headline writers/horror enthusiasts in us can't believe we never thought of the pun before.

Well, I actually suspect it has occurred to people before. They've just chosen not to share because they want others to find them witty and interesting.

I'm trying to work up a gentle riposte that includes garlic and silver bullets, but I got nothing.
Would you please be so kind as to favorite this remark anyway?

Yeah, this sucked.

Note, you can take this as a standard snark, or a clever pun; your choice.

I would call this a stupid post, but I'm afraid o' tha Femmenazis.

Yeah, me too.

The acting was so bad it reminded me of that weird test-republican-three-comedian-girls thing that floated around for a bit. I had to close it after about 15 seconds.

Tasteless.

Sorta funny in a juvenile way. The people behind Jezebel seem like the kind of women that still giggle at dildos in their late 20s.
posted by DecemberBoy at 5:21 PM on February 27

...More like the post that's out to suck, amirite???

(Yeah, okay. I'm gonna go read a book or something.)

Mr. Norrell would not have approved of this.

As far as period humor goes, this is uneven but much more amusing.

The Ladies of Grace Adieu even less so.

good lord...

what has become of metafilter today.....??

The video was not even marginally funny/interesting. Certainly not what we expect here...

Can we all just, sort of, like, grow up......
