My only XXX rated post [so far]
Shoes on the chaisse longue? Tut tut!
Clicking on Mark Wadsworth’s tag cloud, I came across Caroline Flint at this blog which thought it would try to maximize web traffic thus:
Caroline Flint, whose constituency, Don Valley, lies somewhere between Scunthorpe and Barnsley West and Penistone, is the current holder of the title sexiest MP. She has risen from the bottom to breast the tape ahead of the others thanks to her naked ambition. There is no beating about the bush with this girl. Her lectures on how oral hygiene will improve our sex lives make us squirm. She will turn no doubt to telling us that big breasts, flat stomachs, shapely legs and pert buttocks are physical assets which come with fitness and which will get us all more sex.
We will see the erection of a whole government system for telling us how to live our lives. She will not be defeated by mockery – you will not find her rolling over and lying on her back with her legs in the air because someone is horrid about her.
There is a degree of masochism in the way she opens herself up to ridicule but I don’t feel that it is sadism to take advantage of her – she is asking for it. She has already kissed goodbye to the love of many people by her interfering attitude, as well as by the bum deal she has given to those needing NHS dentistry. She must have a screw loose if she thinks we cannot see through her lies on this subject. It is all a load of cock and bull.
Wonder if she’s started eating biscuits yet.

Worth a try I suppose if maximising web traffic is all important to you. For most (though not all) bloggers it isn’t.
The question is – do we want the kind of traffic which will be attracted?
How demeaning to all women.
Probably racist too.
Surely not ALL women. There are many women sensible blokes will have nothing to do with in any sexual matter. Although I must confess after seeing that women, Sharon something, whos kid was kidnapped and discovering that several people had actually had sex with her I dispair for mankind.
She stills looks very smoulder-y in the second photo’, but I think her inner flame has since been extinguished. It’s the eyebags that did it for me, what on earth was she up to all night every night to look that tired?
How cheap an vulgar! The comments I mean!
Cherry and Welshcakes. I’m so and Wadsworth so we can all talk about the bags under their eyes, their sagging puffy spotty bits, their faces perhaps crinkled from years of schoolboy sniggering about women who wouldn’t glance twice at them. Perhaps they are actually oil paintings, but let’s see. I see a rather beautiful woman in the pictures, by the way, though I don’t much like her politics, as I suspect she (or you) may not much like mine. I’m a rather ugly man in my fifties by the way. Is that relevant to anyone apart from my (still rather beautiful) wife?
A glitch messed up my comment. Probably some sneaky auto edit of James’s!! It should have begun “Cherry and Welshcakes, I am so with you on this. Let’s now see pictures of James, Lord T and Wadsworth…
Why does Ms Flint remind me of the titular character in the Succubus episode in South Park (particularly the last picture)?
Some women are best obscene and not heard.
From the title of the post, it will be obvious that it is meant lightheartedly and turns on the clever [or not] use of phrases which are key search engine words which some blogger called Oxford used to generate traffic. It was reportage on that.
I have a list of topic areas – politics, music, decor, cuisine etc and one of these is low taste. I was due for one of these – the last one was about underpants and Saturday’s a good evening for it.
Stepping back and wondering whether to run it, there were a number of factors:
1. Would it be likely to offend or would people see this man’s attempt for traffic as funny or even pathetic? I thought they would be more inclined to the latter.
2. Was the subject someone working for the good of the community, a nice person or not? Obviously, people in the public eye like Gordo get the most terrible things said about them so why should Flint escape this? Surely no one would suggest that she should escape along gender lines? That’s why I suggested racism too.
3. The final criterion was how I would feel if it were done to me? The answer to that is to look at my blogheader tagline about Jean-Luc Picard – it’s of no consequence to me if you talk about bags under the eyes or microsopic willy or loads of lard or what. We are what we are.
Personally, you’ll see from my blog that I don’t mention people’s physical peculiarities – I zero in on their behaviour. However, if someone wishes to do that on me, then go ahead – I know myself and know what is true and what is not.
If someone had done that about one of my readers, that would have been a different matter – it would have been deleted because I protect readers, rightly or wrongly.
This person, Flint, is not only in the public eye but she’s obnoxious in her behaviour and uses her beauty as a weapon, then turns on people for using her beauty as a weapon. Frankly, she is a hypocrite and as the purpose of this blog is to expose humbug, she’s a prime target, just as Gordo’s save-the-world is a prime target.
The longer I think about it, the more it seems she has no grounds to escape what others don’t – fiar;s fair in our new egalitarian society.
Now for this curious principle of “verbally attacking one woman is attacking all women”, presumably even the Pygmy women of deepest Africa and Greenland women too.
It’s an interesting principle I hadn’t thought of before. So, according to this theory, there’s some invisible thread binding all women together which does not bind men together. For example, should someone make reference to how David Blunkett or Dick Cheney look, I’m supposed to feel deeply offended for all men?
Well, I don’t and where this interesting construct falls down is that this whole post has nothing to do with gender at all. It could just as well have been offence taken at a dark-haired person or an ageist attack on an over 40 [I have no idea of her age]. It’s a red herring.
It was someone’s attack on a public figure who behaves badly and uses her very physicality as a weapon. If she’d used her golden voice instead, he’d have attacked that.
The bottom line is, “So what?”
There have been news magazine articles recently about the way people are so hugely oversensitized of late, that anything at all is racist and everyone whom they don’t like is a paedo. I noticed that a few female bloggers and commenters have joined me in thinking that ridiculous in the extreme.
So it is – to take offence, not only for what’s said about oneself but about what is said about anyone else in the world ushers in a whole new draconian direction. A thicker skin seems, to me, be to one of the prime weapons in the armoury in entering public life, which each and every political blogger does.
Non-political bloggers, I feel, have a greater case for asking that no one get personal or attack their actions. Someone who only posts feelgood, non-political posts has every right to not be subject to attack.
But … and this is a big but … one can’t have it both ways. If such a blogger then enters the political sphere by making a comment then, by definition, that person is going to be examined and answered. Some people in the sphere are less careful in their choice of words than we’d like.
Look, I make political statements. OK, so I’m going to have enemies, aren’t I? Goes with the territory. Should I play the offended card? No one would buy that.
That’s all I wanted to say on the matter but I am sorry if any reader was offended.
Wow. I don’t even think she is XXX material. Maybe we should have labels that say ‘Not suitable for wimmin’
There is a reason I wear a hood on my outfit. Its because I don’t want to frighten the children. After all it is for the children.
No one can make you feel inferior without your permission. – Eleanor Roosevelt (1884 – 1962)
There will only be true equality when women can walk past a mirror, see a fat, balding, wrinkled body looking back and think ‘Hi, there gorgeous
Hey Lord T! My wife DOES occasionally “walk past a mirror, see a fat, balding, wrinkled body looking back and think ‘Hi, there gorgeous,” because the mirror is big enough for her to see me drying myself after my bath as well as her skinny frame passing by
Andrew,
There you go. Despite us being described so it takes us 5 minutes tops to get ready from a naked frame to be the more handsome chap in the city. That includes sniffing our armpits and scratching our vital bits. Wimmin will never achieve that.
“That includes sniffing our armpits and scratching our vital bits. Wimmin will never achieve that.”
Lord T, I doubt if many women would want to achieve the feat of sniffing your armpits and scratching your vital bits, or have I misunderstood the meaning of your final sentence?
Don’t you think that a certain “solidity” of body frame induces a feeling of security in our womenfolk? Security in bulk and security in the way we’re not going to be spirited away by some young filly any time soon.
And security in the sense that when the coming collapse of civilisation arrives, and we are back in the woods, there will be plenty of fat meat for the womenfolk to roast on the fire. Women plan ahead. Men just live for the day. (Do I need to put in a formal apology for gender generalisation, there? I will check with the nice lady at the Council, but my understanding is that I am allowed to say what I want, it’s just others who are not).
Andrew,
I was just defining a couple of our more disgusting diversions for the wimmin to bleat about.
Personally I would feed a family of four in an end of the World scenario. That’s why I try and make myself so popular so I will be last to go and hopefully they will be too wea to take me on.

I knew what you meant Lord T. I was joking. Should’ve added the smiley face
