Rev. Al Sharpton Shows Up On The Soup To Give Some…Romance Tips?

video
» 33 comments

Societal pressures have made Valentine’s Day a very stressful time for the world’s men. Sometimes it’s really difficult to show your significant other the magical day you feel they deserve. Sure, some people like myself are preternaturally gifted at giving their girlfriends exactly what they want (Oh, crap. I hope she doesn’t read Mediaite or else I totally just ruined that “pony covered in rose petals” surprise…), but what about everyone else? The guys of the world need some helpful pointers to make sure they don’t mess things up. I mean, I’d help but my pony guy is all out of ponies. So who else is there? Well, Al Sharpton, of course!

That’s right! The good Reverend stopped by E!’s The Soup to give audiences some wonderful “Romance Tips.” It’s all really thoughtful stuff like “Set up a tent city of caring and Occupy her heart” and “Write your local congressman, not about anything political, just a love letter. They love the unexpected.” Wonderful.

So, if any of you readers out there need some ideas for tomorrow, just watch this video from E! below. And if anyone you know what ponies eat, please tell me in the comments. Because mine looks really sick.

I think it’s allergic to rose petals.

    Nothing screams romance tips like Al Sharpton.

    ” Your woman don’t listen to reason, get a megaphone and march around her heart”.

    ” For a swell gift, pick up some nice dresses at your local fashion mart”.

    I appreciate the thought you’ve put into this, MrRevvvvvmeup… but two words…

    Foot Massage  

    That’s all I’m saying…

    Any tips from Gloves?

    Glad you asked.
     Don’t wait for a special day.
    Every week, even if you’re watching a baseball playoff game or the final round of the Masters, if your tomato walks in, turn off the TV, and have her sit down for a couple of hours.
     Tell her anytime is the right time to discuss your relationship !

     You’re adorable when you’re lying, Gloves…

    I’ve always found a gym membership is a romantic and appreciated gift for any wife.

    Good, but the Old Master works for Gloves.

    Sharpton on romance is comparable to Madonna on abstinence.

  • Cecelia

    You’re GOOD…

  • Cecelia

    I’m sure she appreciates that, RRE,… along with the hazmat nightie.

  • The Real Royal Emperor

    OK. That works. I was thinking comparable to:

    Bristol Palin on abstinence.
    David Vitter on family values.
    Chris Christie on dieting and exercise.

    Madonna works, however.

    I preferred the RevAL when he had the big, pouffy hair doo.

    (Just kidding, like MOST Americans, I NEVER preferred the RevAL)

    -Find Tawana’s Rapiss, yet?-
