Do all female DA's on Law & Order Get Degrees from Modeling School?

[mondo joe]

Where the hell do the female prosecutors on Law & Order come from?

Why do the men look like Jerry Orbach and the women look like models?

What a weird Law & Order universe it must be.

1. They are such terrible actors too...

the female prosecutors... It bothers me a lot

3. OMG that last one, Elisabeth Rohm

SHE SUCKED SO BAD I WOULD SHOUT AT THE TV

[Glenda]

4. LOL!! I had to google to see which one she is

I don't think she's as bad as the SVU ones. The one that played Alex Cabot - spoke so rigidly and exactly. I always just patiently waited for her to finish her lines.

THen the one after her - I had high hopes for her. Then last night I watched and she said "your honor I..." and the next person did not cut her off, it was as if that was all that the script called for.

So with these people, I am just soooo aware that it's acting. That's the annoying part.

I will have to watch your personal un-fave to see what I think about her. :)

2. it's the only thing I really dislike about that show

that is pure sexist crap. Also, the ladies are always wearing body=-hugging halter-type shirts which I never see in a professional setting.

But, to be fair, they did have Chris Noth and Benjamin Bratt, neither one of whom was too hard on the eyes. :D

[Glenda]

5. Well Benjamin Bratt, I never noticed him until I saw

Miss Congeniality. Not that I liked the premise of that movie particularly.

But seeing Sandra Bullock use self-defense on him, I thought that was kind of interesting ...

6. Point taken about Chris and Benjamin, but...

did they ever dress sexily? I don't remember that...

I quit watching that show long ago.

7. "they did have Chris Noth and Benjamin Bratt"

"neither one of whom was too hard on the eyes"

Well...THAT'S not sexist..is it?..lol
:evilgrin:

I know..I know... I'm turning around now.

11. it's not sexist to say someone is good-looking

notice I did not pick apart their body parts which would be hard to do since as a previous poster pointed out, they don't dress them to jiggle.

9. I have to disagree

Maybe the DA's suck but Olivia on SVU dresses very appropriate and is a fabulous actress, also very beautiful.

[Skittles]

12. if I wore sleeveless shirts to work I'd be sent home in a jiffy

that's what I'm saying - and you don't see the men wearing sleeveless stuff

[loudestchick]

13. Did you see the dress she wore to the Golden Globes? WoW!

[Divameow77]

10. Don't forget

Christopher Meloni on SVU, he is very good looking.

8. Well, the requirement for beng a female city attorney

in my town is that you must sleep with the County Judge Executive.

The position is nothing more than a repository for his mistresses.

Granted, they aren't as good looking as the Law & Order babes but this ain't Hollywood.

Males can buy the job outright with cash so there is no sex appeal requirement for them.
