regarding richard roeper

[toastykitten]

Roeper talks about his preference for seeing "conventionally gorgeous women" in advertising, saying things like "If I want to see plump gals baring too much skin, I'll go to Taste of Chicago, OK? I'll walk down Michigan Avenue or go to Navy Pier. When we're talking women in their underwear on billboards outside my living room windows, give me the fantasy babes, please." Predictably, women get pissed. Consequently, Roeper still doesn't get it and remains a dick.

What I want to know is - who even asked Roeper in the first place what he finds hot? Does anyone give a shit about what he finds attractive? Why does he feel he has to inflict that preference on us? If he doesn't want to see normal-looking women on a billboard, I don't want to hear him prattle on about what he (or Ebert) finds "erotic" every week on the goddamn show, because really, I find him kind of gross. I'd rather vomit in a bucket o' poo.
