Sarah Haskins takes on dating guides

I’m a big fan of Sarah Haskins, a comedian who dares to critique the deluge of media targeted at women in a recurring Current TV segment called “Target: Women.” Her riffs on the term “cougar” and yogurt commercials rank among my favorite online videos.

Recently, Haskins took on dating guides (aka books that “offer you a system for understanding and categorizing your failures”) with predictably hilarious results. Her impression of Clare Staples, the author of Everything I Need to Know About Men I Learned from My Dog, is a highlight—and you’ll never squeeze a tomato at the market in the same way.

p.s. If you’re still interested in giving a dating advice book a try, check out my tongue-in-cheek look at a few of them from back in 2007. Can you spot the book Sarah featured in her video?
