Extremely classless, ilPad.

I thought it was more mausing than, say, tales of peeing in the sink.

While I acknowledge that the mockery of people's bodies is common, it is also extremely reprehensible. Stunts like this, and your trivializing it, help to legitimize the idea that the bodies that we are born with are fair game for public scrutiny and mockery. This is the foundation of the cultural milieu of eating disorders, cosmetic plastic surgery, depression, bullying, etc.

besides, I didn't trivialize anything; it just lets you know how distasteful I find some of your 'stunts' (to use your term).

Honestly if you put SJP in a statistically significant sample of women she is going to be at least 1 positive standard deviation away from the mean. I don't really see the need to mock any woman for her appearance but it is even more strange when that woman has above average looks.

Really? I have always been amazed that people find her attractive at all. It takes all kinds to make a horse race, so to speak.

Lame non-response. Are you rolling your eyes because you don't think my point has merit? Do you think that people's bodies are fair game for public ridicule? And if your answer to that question is 'yes,' then where do you draw the line? SJP is fair game because...?

I never took a position on it at all. You made that assumption. I said I preferred to some of your body function posts, which point you 'lamely' ignored.

You might not find her attractive, but I would guess that you would not find the average woman attractive. She is clearly above average. Maybe not above average for an actress, but her body alone would put her above average for the general population.

Focusing on the 'amusing' element of a reprehensible act is 'trivializing.'

Just a rank ordering is all, which I am sure you will see once you actually read my post.

But I am pleased to see you find this so reprehensible, as I am sure this will guide you as you post in the future, especially knowing as you now do that at least I find your body function posts to be even worse. Thanks!

Someone mocking the looks of an extremely successful fashion icon/movie star seems to an odd thing to get worked up about. Poor SJP.

Do you agree that ilPad's post is reprehensible? Why, or why not?
