  - Again, "Stuff I Know Because I watch TMZ," but the only thing I find creepy about her is how obviously she poses for the papparazzi, - con_carne May 3, 17:30 15

    - really, you haven't seen recent pictures where she looks like a Real Doll? -- nm - loosilu May 3, 17:33 6
      - I saw those. That's only creepy in the "beauty industry's unrealistic expectations" sense -- nm - con_carne May 3, 17:35 5
        
        that's not the beauty industry's standards. It's porn. - loosilu May 3, 17:39 4
        
        OK, I grant you the IM. But, I see a picture of her and I think "Yep, this is what many women are trying to accomplish." -- nm - con_carne May 3, 17:42 3
        
        I'd take the before on her rather than the after 100% of the time - Reagen May 3, 17:44 1
        
        it's a relative thing. She was a vapid pretty girl. Now she's vapid plastic. She has absolutely - loosilu May 3, 17:46

    - the only thing that held me up is trying to think if there was some Hitchcock movie that had something like that, or something. -- nm - Reagen May 3, 17:12 5
      - there were a bunch of movies that had placements before E.T., but nothing impacted like it did. -- nm - b. May 3, 17:15
      - I wonder when the James Bond product placements began... -- nm - con_carne May 3, 17:14 3
        
        Pan Am were prominent in Dr. No and From Russia with Love - amoxy May 3, 17:18
        
        Aston Martin and Walther aren't really brands that are going to jump, though. -- nm - Reagen May 3, 17:16 1
        
        Probably true. Just for kicks, here is the original BW article my textbook references "A Product Placement Hall of Fame" - con_carne May 3, 17:25

Has Jamie Pressley spent all of her Earl money so she has to do Zaxby's commercials? -- nm - Dano May 3, 17:03 5
- Is she overprotective of Butterfingers? No? Then she has yet to hit rock bottom. -- nm - David May 3, 17:16 2
  - I liked the implication in that thread that she would be resistant to appearing in Playboy, and not the other way around. -- nm - Reagen May 3, 17:18 1
    - Well, "person in horrid Butterfinger ad" seems to be their current level of celebrity. -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy May 3, 17:22
- I think she's already spent the Zaxby's money. - the wrong element, bad guy May 3, 17:13
- I just want to have sex with her. a lot. Her body is something something -- nm - CQ May 3, 17:07
"Do you want some?" nm - Jovian May 3, 17:02
I feel like I should apologize for opening the exercise worm-can and then bailing for the afternoon :) - MojaveMeg May 3, 17:00 4
- it's because we love you. -- nm - loosilu May 3, 17:46
- drop and give us 20. -- nm - Max May 3, 17:05
- "sorry for pulling a vermin" should suffice. (Kidding, of course - it was an interesting convo :) ) -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 17:01 1
  - this somewhat implies that Vermin isn't interesting. why do you hate Vermin, Bery? -- nm - mafic May 3, 17:03

    - I *love* belt buckles. future stalkers take note. the cheesier the better. -- nm - mafic May 3, 16:55 6
      - I've never worn a belt buckle (I guess technically speaking, I don't even know how they attach to a normal belt ...) -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 16:56 5
        
        they don't attach to a normal belt. need their own special belt (but once you have said belt, the buckles are all interchangeable). -- nm - mafic May 3, 17:01 3
        
        hmm. I don't normally wear a belt ... heh -- nm - Beryllium May 3, 17:01 2
