Who Votes For Sexiest Female Or Most Beautiful Body

Midarette April 29th, 2008

Did you ever ask yourself how and whom they get the votes from when they give you the results of the sexiest women or sexiest bodies in Hollywood?  I was thinking about this the other day and came up with a few of my own conclusions.  (This post is done in jest and not aimed at any group of people).

The internet is buzzing with excitement, people are glued to their computers awaiting the newest internet poll on the sexiest woman,  Joe Stud walks in, he’s six foot, dark haired, dark eyed, and built like Adonis.  His computer is flashing, the day has come the world awaits his vote.  Alas, he’s facing the question of voting or going out with the beautiful blonde he’s been wooing for the past few weeks.  The blonde won, his love life was his main priority, so we move on,

 A few houses down the street Elmer McFlab sits patiently in his chair awaiting the poll.   With a cupcake in one hand and a milkshake close by he barely controls his excitement as the web page loads.  He goes over each picture slowly his mind etching each picture into his brain.  He takes a bite of his cupcake and the winner hits him.  It has to be Nicole Kidman, she has hair the color of twinkies, eyes like two lucious m and m’s and yes, looking at those arms and legs brings cheetos to mind, she has to be the most beautiful woman in the world.  His vote has been cast.

 John L. Nerd also awaits his chance to vote, he’s been up all night unable to sleep because of the importance of this task.  His vote is necessary to insure the right woman wins.  He pushes his glasses up off the end of his nose and plays with his pocket protector as he thinks.  He’s got it.  It has to be Mandy Moore, she played the role so many times he knows that if he saw her in public she would definately pick him out of a crowd.  His vote has been cast.

Last but not least is Sam L. Teen, he just got off the phone with his latest girlfriend and is all ready to vote for the woman of his dreams.  She has to be someone he can relate to, someone who will understand him.  He views each picture carefully one by one he goes through them until he finds the right woman.  It has to be Halley Berry, Catwoman, who else could better relate to him than someone who worked with The Batman.  His vote has been cast.

Sorry guys couldn’t resist it.:)

Minorities in the Media. Have YOUR say!

rehna April 21st, 2008

Assetsworld is supporting a ground breaking conference which addresses issues surrounding the portrayal of minority groups in the mainstream media.

We are hosting a discussion here about the topic.
This is your chance to make a difference. You can use your own name for the discussion or you may prefer to choose a user name because you wish to comment in confidence. Your email will not be made public.

Here are some questions you might like to consider (But feel free to start a different discussion) :

Are you all ‘Muslimmed out’ with the saturation
coverage of ‘Muslim and Islam issues’ in the
media?
Or do you think the problem is not the level but the nature of the coverage?

Are you a newly arrived visitor from Eastern Europe experiencing a hostile media reception?

Should there be more black faces in the boardroom and fewer on screen?

Imagine you’re out walking in a wood one day. Out of the bushes bounds a big, cuddly Labrador dog. You stop and the dog sits at your ankles and when you reach down and stroke it, it flops over to allow you to rub it’s belly. It follows you right to the edge of the wood, licking and nuzzling your hand at every opportunity. I expect you’d think to yourself “what a nice dog” but not really give it too much more thought.

Anyone who has ever owned an animal knows how attached they can get to them.  They’re our friends, confidants and in some cases our children.  Mine are like my children.  They’re spoiled,  love to bark, and wait patiently for their treats when they go outside. Continue Reading »

Poverty in the USA part 2 by Dr Carol Apt

rehna April 9th, 2008

People who are born and raised in poverty learn very different lessons about themselves and about life than the rest of us. They learn different norms (ways of behaving) and values (beliefs) that might impair their ability to get out of poverty.
Poor people learn to develop an external locus of control. Continue Reading »
