Several very distasteful stereotypes are evident in this picture.

16. au contraire, mon ami . . . this was in no way a "run of the mill jab at females by du male" . . .
it was, rather, a run of the mill jab at the American lifestyle and what it can do to Americans of ALL sexes . . . and, given that I'd previously posted something similar that poked fun at what said lifestyle can do to American males, I just wanted to be even things out a bit by being an equal opportunity jabber . . .

this was posted on May 10, 2008, in this same forum . . . please enjoy . . . :silly:

13. They all apply to me too. Except for the blonde hair
which I let go natural and it's got some gray mixed in.


I think it's a hoot, actually

8. Well, I wouldn't call myself a "quintessential American icon"
And I just turned 51, not 50. And the photo isn't a very good likeness, either. You know, I'm beginning to wonder if this post isn't all about me, me, me?

Naaaaaaahhh.
