I will make no such jokes. My wife is also way smarter than me

Regarding the "anyone home" type. I had a friend once. She would get up in the morning to spend 3-4 hours on makeup. Anyway, here in Denmark we have something called Gul & Gratis (Yellow & Free, or "Old 'n' free" if you will). It's a kind of newspaper (and website now) where you can buy used stuff. Once I bought a drumset through it and I was really happy about it. Then when I told her I'd bought a drumset through Gul & Gratis she got this really puzzled look. A couple of seconds passed and she asked me "....so..did you get it for free?"

Well there is quite a few jokes you could make from the sentences I posted hehe ... There are some extremely smart & pretty girls out there I have just met a lot of pretty but lacking in common sense girls. (Well a lot of males I see seem devoid of common sense too).

Does not surprise me at the paper . We have a similar paper called the Bargain Pages (for some reason its made from pink paper).

From what I've seen of UK tabloids and newspapers, that makes sense. It's just filled with rubbish. I always thought it was weird that British people are putting overweight girls on beauty pageants and calling them beautiful. But I guess when you see so many fake people with too much makeup, something "normal" looks more attractive.

I dunno.. I'm really not fond of fighting discrimination with discrimination. Ugly or beautiful, they should all be the same, and I'm glad my TV station shows both. Malaysian TV has a few skinny stars, a few fat ones, a few fair skinned ones, a few dark ones. There's a few fairly unattractive celebrities with huge fan bases, mostly DJs and a few singers. If you're talking about putting more "normal people" on camera, it's like discrimination against attractive people.

I think Australia's been quite nice about it too. Australia likes the average blokes far more than the ones that are all talk. It's why shows like The Biggest Loser and MasterChef get good ratings.

I think Paul is doing what's right, and I'd cheer him on myself.

I also agree with OMC, ET and all those shows really brings out the worse about Americans, how can people be so soft in the head to care about celebrities than actual politics? But hey, they're probably the same people who believe in Scientology.

@Muz I am all for a meritocracy. It annoys me that so called celebrities have made no real contribution to society, and have made their millions from having stupidly large breasts (Jordan). I really could not care less about someones appearance, race etc as long as they do their job well (be it actresses or singers etc) - but I do not think people like Jordan have a real job. I am pointing out what I believe is a flaw in our society

Plus do you see ugly but good at their trade people on TV anymore? I dont like Carol Vorderman (all those debt adverts) but it was rumoured they axed her for money and becuase she was too old. Tommy Cooper and Les Dawson's sketches can usually crack me up, yet they was not very picturesque.

Here in Denmark we're blessed with a guy who embodies the worst - and both the female and male aspects of that too. Behold:

That man, the news raider.

For a man of his size, that's not quite the voice I was expecting.

Lol that is one ugly dude, but my point is what they do, and do they do a good job. Les Dawson and Tommy Cooper was funny and their looks did not matter (well in fact Les used it to good effect).

Does this over tanned guy do a good job? Or is he just another 'celeb' that seems to have no real function at all?
