You know what baffles me? Pillow fights. Or, more precisely, the American male's apparent belief that pillow fights are sexy. Because, wtf?

This bafflement brought to you courtesy of episode 1 of Husbands, Season 2. And a bunch of other references which I can't remember.

Yes, pillow fights while wearing lingerie! I hate those scenes in movies. Right up there with the "let's all break into song and dance around the kitchen together" scenes.

Hm. Maybe it's all the jumping and bouncing around? That's...*kind of* sexy. At least in theory, anyway.

Failing that, I don't have a clue either. Not one.

What I find hilarious about "spontaneous" pillow fights is how the pillows are so light that the people involved laugh when they get hit (and the inevitable feathers flying scene). The pillows I have are all heavy, albeit soft & snuggly. Those suckers would knock someone out cold!

I just hate the whole "let's put on baby doll pyjamas and play-fight for the boys' benefit" thing, I suppose. Grrrr. Singing and dancing in the kitchen I could get behind.

Girls doing 'girly stuff'. Except... well, I've been in a couple of pillow fights, many years ago, but it doesn't tend to be something that spontaneously breaks out (except, perhaps, at Camp Sparkle), in my experience.

Yeah, when we had pillow fights in the dormitory at school, those things didn't half pack a wallop, particularly when wielded with determination.

Of course, we weren't doing it for 'display' purposes.
