Submitted By: Rox "More Damaging To Women: George II or Oprah?"
The Week Of:
ummmmmm
GEORGE II, hmmmmmm, yeah. I like oprah, i could start watching her again, but that would mean exerting engery to sitting down in front of a tv and paying attention, I think ill go read... hmm i dont think anyone is better than the other now... yeah thats my answer..
THEY IS THE DEVIL!
--jinngles
I dunno this George II person (call me un-American, I have never seen SNL), but I have an opinion on Oprah. I find it annoying as hell that she thinks she does good for all women, when in fact, she caters to upper class women. I have to laugh when she does her little segments involving going into the home of "an average American." First you see the street - tree lined, well-manicured lawns, beemers and volvos in every driveway, pool maintenance truck parked in front of at least one home. Then as you pass the three car garage and approach the front door, you realize this is a 2 story home, probably 3,000 square feet, so clean you wonder if anyone really lives there. Some lovely housewife (oops, sorry, domestic engineer/family manager) answers dressed in perfectly pressed slacks and fake nails.... GIVE ME A BREAK. Just once, I want to see Oprah roll her butt down a street like mine, slowing to avoid hitting any of the 30 barefoot, dirty faced kids playing basketball in the street. She could pass a pinto and someone's prized-but-rusty old caddy before turning into an oil stained driveway. She'd walk up to the porch passing a green weed patch, recently mowed so as to look like a lawn from afar. A harried housewife/carpool mom would open the door in jeans and a tshirt, the spit up on her shoulder the only "decorum" on her. Oprah would walk in and the house would look lived in - kids' shoes on the floor, breakfast dishes in the sink. Real life. Oprah is so out of touch.... I suppose those fancy suburban streets are where the money is, but she is a real idiot if she thinks that is average America.
--Some Chick
Since King George II (I don't watch SNL anymore 'cause it's not Scottish. It's CRAP!!!)was devoted to his honey, I'd have to say that Oprah would be more damaging to women. (Duh, like there was any doubt.) I rate Oprah right up there with the likes of Martha Stewart and Dr. Laura (no MD), (ok. Well, not quite like Dr. Laura. She's in a class all her own). But anyone who gains and loses all that weight on a yearly cycle can't be all that great.

(And I can vouch for acting like an asshole thing-Rox)
Any woman who succumbs to Ms. Winfrey’s blather was a lost cause to begin with, no harm done. George II’s impact has yet to be seen, he is really a political eunuch in my estimation. I am more concerned about the intentions of his puppeteers; hopefully they’ll be wise and won’t rock the "Choice" boat too much.

Fortunately when Oprah's on, I can switch the channel
or turn it off.
I haven't had the same luck with Dubya...he's the
stuff nightmares are made of.
--harley
i am going to go with oprah on this one. at least in a little over 3 years (max of 8) george will be out of the office. oprah, however, will probably be on the tube until she is 85 (too bad there are no term limits on tv.) to make matters worse, she has the housewife cult following and a magazine. at least congress and the house will kind of keep ol' george in line.

No brainer here.
I think the Dub may reduce freedoms enjoyed by many women such as control over their bodies, the education of their families and their right to a clean environment.
While these are immense, the bigger demon in this picture is Oprah.
She has successfully created an empire by getting her flock to focus on trivial, transitory bullshit that does nothing except feed her pocketbook. By focusing on the here and now, and savoring the flavor of the week she has managed to delude her fans into a desire for temporal bliss rather than long-term happiness. She has positioned herself as the messiah for disconsolate hosfrau worldwide with candles, herbs, synthetic fabrics, a cast of therapeutic charlatans and home-made Lean Cuisine.
This ostrich-like behavior is why the Dub was able to be elected. Women didn’t give a shit who won, just as long as they’d be able to watch Oprah from the safety of their trailer. Feeding on the week-will of our citizens, she is one of the oligarchy driving the IQ of our country into the ground.
Should she and Steve Case ever fuck, that would represent the seventh sign of Armageddon.

(LG, for the record, that outfit IS a keeper-Rox)
What turns me on?
1). What doesn't is more the question.
2). The roar of an F4U-D Corsair and it's 4660 corncob radial engine.
3). My husband's laugh and his ever-so-charming dimples.
4). Black and White photos of the art that is the human body.
5). The sound of my husband's voice when he whispers, "I love you."
6). Porn
7). Roller coasters
8). Certain brilliant bald men.
9). Reading erotica to my husband in bed.
10).Dreaming about a kiss not yet experienced.

Christ, as if the music thingy wasn’t bad enough…
After three years of celibacy, a pulse is always a sure-fire winner.
For those of you that have not perused the Sappy thing, here we go:
Honesty, intelligence, a sense of humor, “Almost Blue” by Elvis Costello, individuality, sensuality, spontaneity, a love of the arts, morning light on bare skin, Monet, holding hands at sunset, the smell of redwood trees in fall, showers, "Just" by Radiohead, intimacy, adventure, warm soft skin, "attitude", spirituality, watching someone that knows how to dance become lost in their own groove, Painters of The Utrecht, mystery, softness, subtlety, “Her Way Of Praying” by the Jesus and Mary Chain, hearing the sigh that tells me I have found a secret spot, European women, expressiveness, eye contact, the smell of sweaty leather in a nightclub, great writing, a smile that begins with the eyes, live music, beautiful hands, anticipation, great food, a back begging to be explored, “Just One Fix” by Ministry, a sense of style, Pipe’s ’69 Camaro Convertible (and no, that’s not a metaphor for his penis), creativity, warm breath on my neck…This list goes on and on…
Forgoing the above, I would say nice cans, a sweet pooper and a mouth that could suck Cleveland through a garden hose would suffice in a pinch.
--Rox
candlelit dinners
long walks in the park

Anyone who knows me would automatically answer this question with "cd's". This is not entirely true as it doesn't have to be a cd...live shows, LPs, cassettes, tv, the soundtrack in my head...it doesn't matter (although live shows can most quickly bring me to orgasm, really any form of music will do). The avenue that more often turns me on would be the promise of a long, slow, sensual fuck from a well-loved LP.
~~waive
Everything that doesn't smell, taste bad or make me look back and wish I hadn't done it.
--J-DoggBahb,
such a hard question, I tried to pick certian things that always soak my panties whenever...but I just came to the conclusion that it would have to be the situation. example now a conversation with you might make me seeping wet at the thought of whips, leather and a good spanking; alas the next day i might be dripping about bubble baths... one things for sure.. i do dig the rain..**wink** that way i can be wet everywhere.
--jinggles
While perusing the responses for an idea of what was
being said I found my answer...Erin in that outfit.
(Damn, L.G. - you da man!)
--Kel
I remember the Mr. T routine distinctly. But (no pun intended) I like anal sex a lot so I think I would actually enjoy the experience. As far as Katie, she has become interesting since her husband died, she has that sad look in her eye. You know the look? When the homecoming queen finds out that life isn't always about rhinestone crowns, tacky red velvet cloaks, and donated rose bouquets?
--Ophelia Resurrected
well i had to look up Katie Couric as being a kiwi on the other side of the globe...i had no idea, although i was thinking nothing this woman could do would make me not want to have coofee with her as apposed to anal sex...and looking at her i would have to say my opinion has not changed...too easy i suppose...
therefore i chose coffee with the newsreader ..and i know i am missing
something here cos i bet i am the only one who would do it...
see ya
--jules
How about feelin' the hog from Katie (as she smiles gleefully for the camera), whilst conversing over double lattes about the state of feminism in the new millennium with Mr. T?...something from the Marquis de Sade files?...
--A
(Nice compromise A--Rox)
I hate Katie Couric with a passion, because she has that one quality you can't put your finger on. Butt Sex with Mr T. would be pretty bad, because the entire time, he would be calling you fool, and insulting you, but at least when you were done, you could say that Mr. T. ass rapped you and lived. Hell I would get a shirt made that said that exact statement. So I would have to go with Mr. T.
--Logical Gambit
As usual, I will be opting for a somewhat skewed take on this topic. How about this scenario: Mr. T giving it to Ms. Couric, while she twinkles the pearly whites in the direction of a one Martha Stewart who is serendipitously creating yet another twigs-into-a-centerpiece for her minions. The crescendo of course being, when I walk into the studio to watch and am announced the 5 billionth person to enter and am then showered with confetti, balloons and the remarkable climax of said union between the above two.
^^Kleo^^
P.S.--I'm not a pervert, just sexually deprived (and, no, I did not mean to
write 'depraved.')
I would have to say that although Katie Kouric can be rather repulsive, I pity the fool who would rather take it up the corn-shoot from my boyhood hero Mr. T ("Hey boy! You look mighty cute in those jeans!). I would enjoy coffee with Mr. T, being he starred on one of my favorite boyhood shows "The A-Team". That admission is a rather painful one to make but even as a kid I knew how absurd the show was. Anyhow, just thought I'd throw in a response since I've been out of the mix for a bit.
--Kel
"I pitty the fool who say Katie Couric."
--RobbaD
rox, this is a piece of cake.....katie is fine! I get up at 645am just to watch her every day! a cup of coffee, some deep discussion, if nothing else just to look at her special smile and listen to that little giggle would make a great start to just about any old day! she blows away mr. t any old day!
the only thing that i could think of that would be more enthralling to my tiny mind would be to spend a day in solitary with charles manson, ....or then there could be the option to spend a day with jason williams of the sacto kings and try to get a grip on why they pay the $$ they do to this guy.....or then another option would be ......zzzzz
i need to skip on katie and sleep in a couple of days.....
--The White Guy
Slap my ass and call me a bitch. Mr. T in the anal region does sound pretty brutal. Would he have gold chains hanging off his dick? Meanwhile, giving Katie Couric a coffee high colonic is much more tempting.
- Roxmyanus? No. Roxuranus, I insist.
I'd have to say "in the butt, Bahb!!!" Give the nightmare to Mr. T. I have a day job and have never seen nor heard Katie Couric. So I had to check out: Katie's AOL Fan Club, just to see who she is. Nice teeth!!!
Did you #$%^ her?
--Shawn
(And since you asked, NO i did not put it in her--Rox)
HEY HEY BAHB, I was wondering when you were gonna ask this, cause I have always known Logicalgambit's answer to the question, gosh hes only told me....hmmm about a few dozen times... kinda makes ya wonder eh?...
Well i would have to agree with MR gambit, i too would choose "ass-raping by MR T!", if only to avoid coffee with ms Katie coo-coo.
SO the answer would be, GIVE IT TO ME IN THE ASS or give me DEATH, there aint no way i am gonna have coffee with her unless she pays me 1 MILLION DOLLARS >>>**EVIL LAUGH**
--jinggles
Coffee. 'Nuff said.
--Some Chick
This topic crept into being a weekend back in February. I forced myself to consider what would be my biggest nightmare.
Visions of Mr. T telling me to clench up my butt cheeks used to keep me awake at night with a cork up my ass. Not altogether a bad feeling, but tough to explain to the folks.
Initially the counterpoint to T was planning a dinner party with Martha Stewart. I came up with something a little more interesting for Martha. This will post up in a couple of weeks or so.
My next go ‘round involved being in the the most socially uncomfortable setting I could imagine. Having to hang out with someone so incredibly perky, upbeat, mainstream, and culturally vacuous that even the “norms” of the world would want to hurl after even 15 minutes into this dyad.
Katie won. I personally have nothing against her except the above, and am sure that she is a nice person. The thought of having to be presentable around her without screaming at the top of my lungs or dick-slapping her is (to quote The Princess Bride) “inconceivable”.
Now to choose the bigger nightmare I must balance whether my long-term emotional stability is more important than my rectal virginity.
I’m sitting in some nice café on a brightly lit summer morning enjoying an iced white mocha and reading the Chron. This bitch won’t shut up long enough for me too even light a fucking cigarette, and when I try, she tells me that it’s rude and bad for my health. She then goes on to tell me that caffeine will screw up my heart and that the acids in coffee are bad for the lining in my stomach. Continuing, she informs me that the sun will cause me to age prematurely and give me skin cancer. Of course then she’ll query me on why I don’t get my news from the paragon of wisdom (NBC). All of this of course is with that fucking contrived, insipid fake plastic smile (that is darling BTW) behind eyes that that you can actually use to gauge the air pressure in her head by the distance her eyelids are from each other. She’ll comment on the wrinkled, out of style clothing in which I’m attired and then make a few subtle suggestions on how to improve my look. After which she’ll prompt the assembled crowd to stay glued to the edge of their seats while she tries to plug some book (that I have yet to write).
Are you shitting me…I’d let T dip his cock in sand and grudge-fuck me 'til I bled out of my eyes, videotape it, sell it on the ‘net and even tattoo his name on my ass (‘Mr.’ on one side, ‘T’ on the other) before I’d submit to that.
--Rox
I started thinking about what kinds of conversations I would have with the beloved Katie. Now granted she is a little on the chipper side and a bit full of her self. I could imagine having a conversation with her about world issues and about what she was like when she was a child. What kinds of abuse she had to have endured to make her the woman she is today.
Then I thought about Mr.T. How strong and big he is... and then I started thinking about " how big he is" * wink wink. You know, they always have those jokes about black men having above average sized ...well you know. This was something that I started researching. I went to every web site I could find so I could see if the bulge was bigger that the rest.
I have thought long and hard.
I even had a dream about it. I became obsessed over it. I started posting his pics all over my room. I am finding Mr.. T more and more attractive each min. He has that masculine quality that you cant find just anywhere. I don't think that it would be fair to put him in the same category as Katie Couric. I think that with a little lube and some nice Nine Inch Nails " I want to **** you like an animal" it would be the recipe to a real magnificently magnetic night.
Now for all you you think that Katie would be the one for you. Go to www.katie-couric-collection.com.
But for the ones that like a really man go to www.sit.wisc.edu/~kljense3/MrT.html. You can to there and witness the masculinity! Big buff and mean Mr.T.
--Wintertone
hrmmm....this is a really hard question to answer, seeing that i really wouldn't have the desire for either one. i am rather perky myself, but i think that katie's would be overkill. i say this because i used to get up early in the morning and was forced to watch her as my roommate's boyfriend watched the morning show. i never saw such perfect reasoning for buy a set of ear plugs in my life until then. so, i think i would have to go with taking it up the butt from our beloved mr. t. i mean, it would probably only last 5 minutes anyways. i think the long term damage would be less severe with mr. t than with ms. couric. i somehow think that i would end up in prison if i had to endure coffee with ms. couric.
