    Carlton Cole shows his romantic (and sexist) side on Twitter

    Does she get the champagne after she's ironed your shirts, Carlton?Does she get the champagne after she's ironed your shirts, Carlton?While most of us spend the evening of Valentine's Day either crammed into an overcrowded restaurant or crying tears of loneliness into an empty Ben & Jerry's carton in the company of an expansive stuffed toy collection (just me?), many professional footballers have to go to work.

    Carlton Cole helped West Ham stay atop the Championship Tuesday night with a draw against fellow title contenders Southampton, but not before treating the special lady in his life to a platter of Valentine's treats. In a picture uploaded to his Twitter, the Hammers striker kept the flames of sexism burning with an iron, washing up liquid, fabric softener and a host of other household cleaning products. After this, it's safe to say that the only thing that got lucky in the Cole household Tuesday night was his laundry.

    Sure, this picture is probably a hilarious tongue-in-cheek joke, but the last time CC attempted to use Twitter for comic effect it didn't go down very well.

        Except Ochocinco is partially relevant to the sport he plays

      There is, at least, a bottle of Champagne on the tray. I think the maligned fellow is just trying to make a joke.

      If a woman is going to live lavishly on his dime, the least she can do is Iron his shirts and clean the house!

        I can hire someone to iron my shirts and clean my house and never have to worry about losing half of everything I worked for my entire life.

      That's hardly sexist but a very funny joke indeed.

      Can't people tell the difference between sexism and attempting to be funny. Come on people, lighten up a little. You will live longer and be happier.

      Personally I would've put a tray of bread, meats and cheese so she can make sandwiches, but that's just me.

      This is a stupid article -- I think he is trying to say he'll do the laundry and ironing, etc. Clearly, the author is single and/or "you know" so he has no idea what this photo was intended to convey. Douche.

      In other news, Carlton Cole is aboard the Starship Enterprise. Check the replicator his left.

      I want to grow up, become a Yahoo "news blogger," and write stories about things like joke pics people take, and things they say, and where they live. That would make me feel like I was really living a robust and meaningful life.
