So someone brought to my attention recently a product announcement for a board game for women going through menopause. We were pretty speechless. Some folks I know were thoroughly offended; others thought it was unbelievably hysterical. But everyone pretty much took it as tasteless.
Anyway, I’m about 25-30 years outside the game’s target demographic, so I know it’s not geared toward me. But if I were going through menopause, I probably wouldn't take it as irreverent or funny. (Actually, I'd probably think it was hilarious one second and thoroughly depressing the next.) My real reason for bringing up this game, however, isn’t to rail against some ill-conceived product that missed the taste mark. It’s to ask: What the hell is yam cream?
I get pretty much why all the other game pieces fit in with the menopause theme. I guess I’m just naïve or uninformed, but yam cream didn’t ring a bell. Thinking harder, I might have an inkling, but it’s nasty so I won’t say what I think it is aloud.
If I ever did play this game though, I think I would choose to be the diaphragm every time. If some other menopausal bitch took my game piece, the Freedom Tampon would be a close second.
