Decided to post a complaint (written below) about the shoddy writing of an article in the Washington Post. The story was about how men like the A/C lower than women. Because that is news. Anyways the guy made a comment about how "women are from Venus and men are from Freon". Leave the humour for the intelligent. Anyways below is what I wrote.
You are pretty much the worst writer I have ever seen linked to the Yahoo home page. This includes the immense amount of ticker writers based in non-English speaking countries.
Why would you go with the men are from Mars, women are from Venus comparison then change it to Freon? Clearly the analogy fits considering how hot Venus is and how cold Mars is.
You could have said this in a different way or made it a literal statement but you chose to add your own wit only to find it is lacking.
