Betrayed
Oh Jonny (Wilkinson), how could you do it?! *shakes head despairingly*
He has appeared on the TV as a spokesman for male moisturising and cleansing products. Nooooooo!
My problem with this, as with the eyebrow thing, is not really one of gender bias specifically, but that how am I going to free women (including myself) from the oppression of a looks-dominated culture when men seem intent on moving in the wrong direction.
As an ambassador for the beauty industry I am not convinced of Jonny's credentials anyway. Having a face that looks as though it has been thoroughly bashed about (presumably because it has been, due to lots of big hairy men running into it at full pelt and then lying on it) and a flair for speaking in public to rival that of George Bush for the English language, one would not immediately think of him as a natural.
What was wrong with just being the nation's biggest sporting hero?
Some of us were fans long before the World Cup (no fair-weather friend I). Complete dedication to your chosen field and supreme skill should surely be enough for any man.
The loss of a hero is a terrible thing. I have not been this let down since Sam Beckett (Quantum Leap) slept with that reporter. Ok, they were both single, he hadn't had sex for...well...ever, and they were in a war zone, but he just didn't *do* that kind of thing! (And I was only 14 at the time.) It was not so much that he let me down, but that he let *himself* down.
Who is left now?!
Hank from Dungeons and Dragons, Sydney Bristow from Alias, and Ray Mears.
I should be safe with Hank...
