Am I the only one who thinks Kirsty Gallacher is an absolutely apalling newsreader? I've never seen her get through a story without tripping over her words or something.

"So, you want to work for Sky Sports News?"
"Yes!"
"Right. You're hot. You've got a famous dad. Any actual experience in this field?"
"What field?"
"Oh, sod it. You're primetime!"

She talks too???

It's rather disturbing that a woman with a pretty face has this rather... negative impact on people imo. She has little competance in the job but that's alright because she's pretty. That's a trifle shallow, don't you think? Rather objectifying view of female television workers also? I'm with Brend and Snarlos.

Hot chick = good
Hot chick talking about football = even gooder
Hot chick trying to talk about football but proving she doesn't have a clue = incredibly off-putting

It's a fact. Though I suppose most of you listen with the volume off.

If I find a woman pretty, I'll happily watch her on my TV screen.

If I want serious news, I'll change the channel.

Is that disturbing?

Post by **Best First** » Wed May 11, 2005 11:30 am

There si nothing wrong with being attracted to hot women that i am aware of, no.

That as well, but that extends to sport in general

Depends, when put against the backdrop of things like "She talks to??" and "too preoccupied to actually listen to her" it might seem rather shallow. I'm not entirely sure equality infers listening to serious stuff from men/unattractive women and that pretty women are only on screen to be hooted at by men with nothing better to do.

That's not necessarily aimed at you, 'bloke' culture is just something I've never understood and find vaguely insulting as I then get lumped along with the stereotype.

I know lotsa girls in college who drink by the bucket load! o.O

My old housemate Toni and I used to go out with friends, they'd still be sipping their first pint and we'd be onto our third blue WKD or something! We looked at each other worredly, and I observed

"eek... we're turning into a pair of winos!"

however since I gave up booze I now have more money for random ebayness...

Wasn't Martin Lewis the housewives' newsreader of choice once? Was that just because of the news too?

Isn't that a form of equality?

I wouldn't call it a negative impact at all!

Well... it didn't work for Kelly Brook on Big Breakfast did it?

Ms Gallacher has cornered the "blokes" TV arena by a) being good looking and b) talking (trying to in somecases it appears) about football.

Pretty Girl + Football = TV bosses' dream

And she knows it too.

Inequality I think you mean? And I think it is. The whole entertainment industry is built on it. That's probably a seperate argument tho. I'd be interested to know how often ML was cosidered as merely an object to be stared at by housewives as this young lady obviously is by sports fans.

Only in my sight, which as we all know has no bearing on anything outside of me head. But its a discussion board and I felt like breaking the list of 'PHWOAR she's hot missus!' responses

No, I meant equality.

As in, men aren't the only ones who lust after newsreaders!

If you're suggesting the entertainments industry is inherently sexist, yes I suppose thats something else...

Karl, anyone who lumps you along with the stereotype of 'bloke' culture would have to be deaf, dumb and blind...or have you shaved your head, got a tattoo and an England shirt and started drinking pints of lager?

Incidentally I got an England shirt the other week. It's red with the three lions crest on it, and just above where it would normally say "England" it says "Bollocks". I love the word "Bollocks". I'm teaching it to the San Franciscans

that could be equated top one of those breakfast tV phone ins:

What type of animal is Polar Bear?
a) a cloud
b) a missile
c) a bear

Impactor returns 2.0 · Post by **Impactor returns 2.0** » Wed May 11, 2005 4:20 pm

A!!!

Polar bears are white and so are clouds, but then again alot of missles ive seen are white too... hmm, which leaves me with bear?
What does that mean?, I still have my clothes on.
