Fuck These Guys is the brainchild of Brad Einstein (Second City Tour Co., Billy on the Street) that takes a look at the kinds of male-oriented personalities that should grate on your nerves. Some people say that you have to include likable characters in your projects in order to garner an audience: Brad Eistein begs to differ.
