"had all the neurons sheered off" in her brain ????

Sounds like that's pure shenanigans if you ask me.

I don't see how such a thing is possible really. some maybe, but all??? I don't think so.


/ not getting a kick out of these replys
// only have one leg, if I was getting a kick I would fall over.
/// not really.

That's gonna bring all the amputee fetishists out of the woodwork.

Sorry, the crippled just aren't attractive--our monkey-brains are just wired that way. Sad? Yeah. Mean? Probably. True? Definitely.

In Oldspeak, it means she was beat into retardation.

Hmm, I'll take the one with no brain. After all, if I wanted a brain, i wouldn't e shopping for a model, would I?
 
2008-06-30 06:18:28 AM
shiat, I thought this was the Miss Landmine Contest!

Lame! If you don't know of Miss Landmine, you are not Farked enough to be here, subby.

well, you do have a point, I guess it's sort of a primal thing,

I mean in the jungle (the mighty jungle, de doo da da da day) ahem, the slow or silly enough to get badly hurt, or the ones born with physical defects would get left behind, is it animal nature(human nature?) to not want to pass on defective genetic traits?

// hey I'm not saying that these ladies are not attractive.

Why would you assume subby doesn't know about the Miss Landmine contest?

Its nice to the physically disabled getting a show as opposed to the mentally disabled who usually get the limelight...

"had all the neurons sheered off"

Reminds me of BSG, although these models are the Raiders.

/dumbed down models sounds about right.
 
2008-06-30 06:31:14 AM
Am I missing something (not an arm) or is "had all the neurons sheered off" not in TFA ?

Also, how the fark is an invisible disability, like deafness, comparable to being in a wheelchair, for a model ? In fact, how is it even relevant, beyond the communication problems that would be found in any job ?

/confused

There aren't as many "deaf fetishists" as there are "amputee fetishists."

Isn't it "shear"?

Possibly due to this SBS (pops)

The show's creators hoped the series would challenge pre-conceived notions of beauty and raise disability awareness.

They want me to discriminate less? Listen, I wouldn't have such a huge problem with disabled people if they looked like this. Err... I guess it works. NM.

This article includes small explanation for sheered neurons.

NO, the shows creators hoped they were making an even bigger car-crash than the next guy so that they would getting bigger ratings.

next! the UK's smarterest lesbian nazi motorcycle rubber adult baby fetishest.

Like I say. Never sleep with a complete stranger. Fark an amputee.

Dissapointed that no one has thought to mention Paul McCartney spotted searching for his next gold digging wife. For shame.

that's because they have had their settlement, he got the house in london, most of the cars and the house in malibu,

she got an apartment in new york, a bently turbo a plane, and a lady shaver for the other leg.

They must fight over that something fierce when pudding time rolls around.

There aren't as many "deaf fetishists" as there are "amputee fetishists."


Deaf people are, for the most part, giant assholes. Never met one who was born deaf who wasn't a complete prick. Inversely, blind people, by and large, are some of the sweetest folks you'll ever meet.

Makes me think that there is something about not being able to hear (experiencing life through your eyes) that turns you into a self absorbed, narcissistic, shallow asshat. While there's something about having to understand the world through "listening" that causes blind people to develop extraordinary amounts of empathy.

Maybe it's just a hundred-fold amplified case of what people do when they pass a bum on the street; It's easy enough to avert your gaze, but it's hard sometimes to get that voice out of your head?

I never really pondered before the importance of spoken communication for conveying empathy. Way too farking deep for me.

Come on. Tyra has already had plenty of models on ANTM with disabilities/disfunctions/diseases:
- Retinitis Pigmentosa (she was nightblind on the show, and was going to be blind by the time she reached age 30)
- Lupus
- Asperger Syndrome
- Clitoridectomy (i.e. female genital mutilation)
- Batshiat Craziness
- Plus sizedness
- Asianness
- Snaggletooth
- Anorexia/Bulimia (though this is par for the course)


So, yeah. Seriously. If there was a girl missing a body part, Tyra would totally cast her. No need for this show.

TwistedFark:Deaf people are, for the most part, giant assholes. Never met one who was born deaf who wasn't a complete prick.

Again, this precludes them from being models how, exactly ?

The side movie with Nichelle "Uhura" Nichols talking about her meeting with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was much more interesting. She still doesn't look half bad for being in her 70's

"I do believe the program could help challenge our attitudes to disability."

Yeah - now producers won't see a disabled person, they'll see a ratings stunt.

Nice that there's a show out there now that Sir Paul can rub one out to.

somehow I've managed to miss a Fark cliche. Anyone care to illuminate me on "BIE"?


Thanks in advance!

Howard Stern had a "hottest amputee" contest a year ago or so...almost glad he's on vacation so we don't have to hear how yet another place is stealing his idea...
