Give me a break.

Even if this were true (and I am doubtful), the implication that it excuses unwanted behavior, such as cheating on a spouse, is bogus. Pedophiles, for example, can't help being sexually attracted to children; it really is an unfortunate situation for them that they must always fight what they naturally desire. However, that does not excuse them when they act on their impulses. No one would claim that a pedophile just "can't help" raping children, and therefore should be excused whenever he does so. Does wanting something (even if you want it really, really badly) justify the taking of it? Of course not.

In the end, I also think it's pretty insulting to act as if men are automatons completely beholden to their biology. I guess people find it attractive because it allows them not to have to feel personally responsible (or guilty) for their actions, but it also removes individuality and free will.

The first and third ones (particularly the vaguely pikachu-look of the third one) might make some kids relax, but I think the middle one would terrify. Why on Earth did he make it look so menacing?
