Hollywood's top 25 sexiest women of all time

Recently, I was channel surfing and came across an absolutely preposterous & absurd program called "Hollywood's Top 25 Sexist Women of All-Time". Why was it absurd? The following grand dames of Hollywood were all listed outside the Top 12:

1. Lauren Bacall
2. Eva Gardner
3. Katherine Hepburn
4. Ingrid Bergman
5. Grace Kelly
   

At the same time, the following contemporary dames were ranked inside the top 10:

1. Angelina Jollie #2
2. Halley Berry #3
3. Julia Roberts #5
4. Jessica Alba #8
5. Michelle Pfifer
   

If you have seen a dozen photos of these women, let alone film, you have to laugh out loud. I want to go on the record and tell you that Angelina Jollie can't carry the jockstrap on any of the old dames on the upper list. There is no woman in Hollywood today who can compare to any of the classic stars I listed above. If there was even one Lauren Bacall--let alone an Eva Gardner--in Hollywood today, L.A. County would be crushed by a billion stalkers.

It is a total wipe-out in favor of the classics. Everybody knows that one of the most lamentable aspects of Hollywood in the past 20 or 30 years is that it has not produced the kind of absolute bombshells we saw in the 30s-50s. They haven't even gotten close.

Before you call me curmudgeon, understand I that I was born in 1966. All of these classic dames of Hollywood were already in their 50s and 60s by the time I was 10 years old. Most were dead of old age by the time I turned 30. These were not the contemporary stars I grew up with. No, Pfifer, Bullock, and Roberts were. I always knew they couldn't hang with the classics.

So why did TV Guide produce such a preposterous list? How could these gurus think or utter such nonsense, much less broadcast it on their own network? TV Guide is part of the Hollywood marketing force. They make money by marketing for Hollywood. As Hollywood makes money, they make money. They have a vested interest in telling you that the stars today are greater than the stars of yesteryear. Right now is the moment. Hollywood has never been better than it is today. The women today are much hotter than the women of the past. Why? Because we need to recoup our investment dollars on recent production right now, that's why!

That's like arguing that Michael Jackson was innocent of child molestation because you would like to make money selling his next album. There are about 10,000 logical fallacies in there.

When you think about it, tho, how much different is the policy of the NFL Marketing department on Park Avenue? I personally thought it was absurd when marketing forces inside the NFL began to propound that Joe Montana was better than Johnny U. So did Dan Fouts. Now that Joe is fading into the distant fog of the past, there is now a new drum-beat coming out of Park Avenue. Peyton Manning is the greatest QB of all time. This will accelerate dramatically if the Colts win SB44, and if Manning has a big day.

Now I happen to think Manning is a lot better than Montana, and I have seen both of their careers in their entirety. I am not sure Manning is better than Unitas. I think Manning would go easy on that as well. In fact he did precisely that recently when he busted up a bunch of Unitas's records.

Just like Hollywood, the NFL has a vested interest in telling you that the greats today are the greatest greats that ever played. The stars of today would crush the stars of yesteryear. This is the magical moment when things have never been better. Ergo, you should pay diligent attention to the present moment, and appreciate this greatness.

While I am all in favor of living in the present moment, but be careful of the marketing crap. There is a great deal of bullshit in the marketing. Buyer beware!

On question of the Patriots in 2009

Some wags out there are declaring that Miami is vulnerable. They say 5 or 6 teams that made the playoffs each last season don't make it to the playoffs in the next season. This has been the statistical fact for the past 10-12 years. Welcome to free agency. See the effect of broken continuity. So according to the wags, Miami is supposed to be one of those 5 or 6 teams watching the playoffs on HDTV in 2009.

Why? Because Tom Brady is healthy again, that's why! You can just pencil the Patriots in for another Lombardi trophy in 2009 now. It's a done deal. This means Miami is finished

You better reevaluate that statement. It never ceases to amaze me that the media continues to treat the Patriots as if they are the reigning 3-pete Super Bowl champions, fresh off another Super Bowl victory. Folks, they lost the fucking Super Bowl in 2007. Stop counting that as an undefeated Super Bowl championship year. They did not make the playoffs in 2008. They watched the Steelers win the Super Bowl on HDTV. Now shove that fact up your ass and smoke it.

It is amazing to me that the East Coast media has been talking shit about the Patriots going undefeated and winning Super Bowl again ever since the Comish handed the Lombardi Trophy to the New York Giants. Have you forgotten that Patriots have not won a Super Bowl since 2004? It has been 5 years since their last title.

Why the fuck do you keep doing that? Can you not see the plain fact that you are entirely fucked up on this subject? The facts are loud and clear and plain. Are you using a lot of brain damaging drugs? Is this the result of an acid trip to Woodstock on the Yellow Submarine with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi?

It is more likely that the NFL has a marketing department. This marketing department does marketing. They market around the so-called Superstars of NFL football. Tom Brady is allegedly one of the greatest of these fellows. Therefore, a strong corporate policy has been set in stone by the marketing department. The return of Brady is one of the Hype lines of the 2009 season. Ergo, you do not speak out against the hype line. Do not speak factually about the Patriots

I am not part of the Corporation. I am not bound by access rules or rules of engagement. I can say what I think. I want to set the record straight.

1. TOM BRADY IS NOT HEALTH. Your assertions fail. He still has a wounded knee in rehab. He is nowhere near his form 2007.
2. Teddy Bruschi has retired.
3. Rodney Harrison has retired
4. Richard Seymore has been shipped to the Raiders.
5. Mike Vrable has been shipped to the Kansas City Chiefs.
6. Junior Seau is gone.
7. Ellis Hobbs was shipped to the Eagles.

Dude, I can go on. The fact of the matter is that the Patriot defense is non-opperational and non-mission capable in 2009. Do you want proof? How about the fact that David Carr led the Giants to a 21-0 lead in the first 9 minutes of play against the Patriots 1st string defense. This was just a day or so ago. It was a massacre in the 1st quarter.

Yeah, yeah, yeah! I know the Patriots came back to win that game. That only means that the Patriot scrubs beat the Giant scrubes. The Giant starters (except Eli) handed your asses to you on a platter and the platter was bent.

Miami repeats as division champions with style. The Jets come in #2 and make the playoffs. New England is at home for the second straight year watching somebody else win the Super Bowl.
