Why are you debating with JDUMB? He makes fufu look like Shirley Maclaine's impression of Chauncey Gardner.

Ah, memories of when SNL was actually funny.

You remember the interview Garret Morris did with Fran Tarkenton, about why there were no black quarterbacks?

My contribution on changing the topic:

Match.com has released a report about what characteristics people in different cities are looking for in potential mates.

"Are you chubby and looking for love?

A good destination might be Portland, Oregon, where, more than any other place in the United States, men and women state a preference for going out with someone who carries "a few extra pounds."

Miami and San Diego, on the other hand, might best be avoided. People in those cities have an unusually strong preference for the svelte.

That, at least, is according to recent data from the online dating site Match.com (http://match.com), which can use its data base of 12 million members to come up with all sorts of random trivia on singles in different parts of the country.
. . . .

Men and women with red hair, for instance, are most in demand in Austin, Texas and least in demand in Miami, according to the Match.com data.

Men in Denver prefer women with long hair. Men in Miami and Houston are most turned off by long hair. As for women's thoughts on men with long hair, it is considered hot in Denver, not in Chicago.

San Francisco, meanwhile, has the curious distinction of being the scholarly city. When asked what level of education they considered suitable in a mate, more men and women in San Francisco than in any other city, said they were seeking a PhD.

Doctorate degrees, by the way, are least in demand in Portland, Oregon, and Detroit.

And if guys who are a little on the short side feel they are being short-changed, they might want to consider relocating to Texas, where women have responded in disproportionate numbers that they are willing to date men 5-feet-6-inches or shorter.

That is SHORT in Texas? In most places a guy with a 5"6" cock is hideously deformed.

Stuff about short guys.

You left out the best part:

And for what it is worth, the composite of the ideal woman, is a flirtatious, thrill-seeker with an average build, long, light brown hair and a college degree, who doesn't smoke, does drink socially and enjoys public displays of affection.

Women seem to want pretty much the same: a bold, assertive, flirtatious, non-smoking social drinker who has dark brown hair, an average body and a college degree -- who likes to dance.

Begging the question -- is it more important to be flirtatious or have a college degree?

And why couldn't either Tiger or Elin find themselves a mate who met the "ideal"?

I believe that he is white, but his racial self-loathing has resulted in his adoption of a black man avatar. Just like the way you use a white man avatar. I, on the other hand, have a really really really white woman avatar, and I am in fact a really really really white woman. I heart me.

NCS has hit it on the head, once again. People call me the stealth jew. I only whip it out when it's convenient, like in my recent Hollywood job interviewing (Q: Oh, so you're engaged, how are the wedding plans going? A: Great, we've booked the location, found a rabbi . . . ).

Apparently, the people on the scene wanted to be cooperative, but someone at MTV told the cops that they would go through the videotapes and employee timesheets and decide what, if anything, they would and wouldn't show to the cops. THat didn't go over too well with them.

Just so MTV's lawyers (hi, str8!) don't come off sounding like a bunch of pro-rape dicks, the videotapes would probably be subject to California's Reporter Shield Law, so the decision to withhold them pending legal review was legit. An editorial decision to release them notwithstanding their protection from subpoena is very dicey and always more complex than you'd figure, so the cops should grow the fuck up. Sometimes you find yourself not releasing tapes and notes to investigating authorities even when it would potentially do social good to do so (i.e., convicting a criminal "caught on tape"), because you don't want to put your reporters and camera operators in a position in which they're always potentially gathering state's evidence whenever they turn the camera on.

Never thought I'd find myself defending MTV's legal strategies.

You whip that thing out in an interview in these parts, and you'll never get a job. Oh, wait, you meant the fact you are jewish, not the physical evidence you are jewish. My bad.

Aside from the "no-eyed" and "yellow" (at least in my experience) it sounds like you are describing yourself as a penis. nttawwt.

He said "watching," Gwink, he didn't mean that little trick you do on the bench while they are "playing." THAT is called "pucking."

That reminds me, what's happening with Kelly Jo Kuhottie or whatever her name was (the runner up) -- is her 15 minutes up, or will she be the next bachelorette?
