We have pretty much lost the ability to talk about feminine beauty. Pretty soon admitting that we would rather look at beauty than ugly will be considered a character flaw. Already the lookists claim that I should not care what others look like. I cant wait to get told what else in this world I should not care about if I am to be judged a decent human being.

I wish I could unread this. I feel dumber for the effort.

Do you have a credible source? Slate is about as far left as any partisan kook blog can be, second only to the Daily Kooks.

How about "the video of Fox on the link"?

Make that four, and I also read the USA Today piece. This Tamara Holder opens with "Sex sells" and concludes with this. I've only read Bo Dietl's name before now, and while this vid discussion is inane, I thought his comment on Holder's legs was pretty funny because what I noticed first in the video is that she is wearing a mighty short dress. She says she's not competing, but she certainly is. ;)

And it's also true that sex sells and that networks generally hire attractive/photogenic men and women. The USA Today article is about empowerment through makeup, and one Olympian is quoted as saying that she uses blue eyeliner to feel patriotic.

Inanity all around, but no big deal, IMO.

Bo Dietl's been around forever. I first heard him many many years ago, on Don Imus' pre-nappy headed ho shows. He's pretty entertaining.
 
The video mentioned right at the very beginning that the women athletes choose to wear makeup! They were not made to, they choose to.

He said "The whole point of the Olympics.... is product endorsements" thats actually pretty accurate
 
We've been watching the Olympics every night. The women swimmers were swimming w/o make-up, but they all had some on when standing on the podiums. Get a HD capable TV monitor Fox.

No Tammy Faye Bakers, just a little put on by the make-up people for the event. They really don't have much time.
