How does the author of this ad react to the mass death of every one of the million women in Manhattan? "What a shame !!" It's as if the author feels that he's the real victim in that genocide.

In reality, this 47 year old is probably mistaken since I have spoken to some women to make sure this weird Children of Men scenario did not really take place. Women are still alive in Manhattan! You heard it here first!

So, I guess, I too am quirious as to why no one is responding to this sophisticated social critic. Especially on such a nice day.

The ad, written in the language of kings/ALL CAPS, then goes on to points out that the author really is quirious. Good thing he confirmed that his bizarre curiousity/fifth-grade spelling skills at the age of 47 weren't a joke. Otherwise it wouldn't be scary.

Lastly, he'd like us to RSVP. I didn't know he was having a party (maybe that explains the lack of responses!). I wonder if he knows that RSVP doesn't mean to please respond (which I guess is what the French translation literally means) but instead to respond regarding attendance to a specific event. If he doesn't then... what a shame !!
