A bizarre headline, I know. But even stranger is that someone actually made that comparison.
Speaking about China’s demand for Canadian tar sands at a conference in Beijing earlier this month, a Chinese energy researcher compared unused tar sands to “unmarried single women.”

That sparked a new piece of satire from the folks at Deep Rogue Ram, the creative group behind the rogue weathergirl series.
