Move over Kournikova....

Germany sounds great.

12/16

87.5% of 'jailbait' correctly identified; 62.5% of legal ladies correct.

 

Well that's me knackered - I got 37.5% of the jailbait right, and 50% of the legal ones; I'd better go to grab a granny with blue rinse, to be on the safe side!!

My score would have been even lower, had I not recognised Jodie Foster from Taxi Driver (but you can tell she's jailbait anyway in that photo!)

 

10 / 16
75% of jailbait and 50% of legal.
cheers

Got exactly the same score ...

Thing is I could believe all but one of the cases when the true answer was revealed. It was the picture with the 2 girls that I couldn't and stay can't believe was jailbait. :JOEL:

 

Ummm, your over 45 and you have "that sort" of picture of a 16 year old. Friendly advice - it may not be illegal, but it would definately be frowned on. Don't let your wife find them...

 

I'm actually 44. Can't see what's either illegal or immoral about having pictures of an old gf which I hasten to add I had not thought about for years and years before Bub's post; sure brought back some memories, though.

 

Moving away from the whole paedophile debate back to tennis.
I feel a bit sorry for Kournikova. Just because she is pretty she got lots of attention and when she failed to win much in the tennis world she gets a good slating for being crap and just being all about looks. As far as I'm aware she never proclaimed to be great. Sponsorship came along and she took advantage of it. People seem to assume that because she was pretty she should do well, theres plenty of minging players out there who don't come in for criticism for being crap.
Sharapova's face will be everywhere for the next few years via sponsorship deals, if she hadn't done too good at Wimbledon it would still of been everywhere thanks to The Sun et al. As it happens she has done well and will continue to do so I'd imagine. Now if she had got knocked out after round 2 she'd still be sponsored but not a success on court and get slated for that fact. Hardly seems fair.
The only difference between the 2 situations is that Sharapova has done alright. Do people expect lucrative modelling contracts to improve their game?

 

Slip of the keyboard, meant to quote your previous post saying you were over 40. I was just imagining what my ex (before she was my ex) would have said if she found mucky pictures of a 16 in my sock drawer - exgf or not.

Probably too much of a personal comment anyway, sorry.

 

No problem.

 

Heavymetal, women's tennis is getting more and more "lookist". Even some officials at the ATP are admitting, reluctantly, that the good-looking (female) players get the punters in more than the mingers. There's been a lot of resentment amongst some of the less attractive female players that mediocre players like Kournikova get the lucrative sponsorship deals from Berlei and other sportswear companies because they look good and not because they play well and I can totally understand that. Male sports sponsorship requires results and it doesn't matter much what you look like. Also, it's unlikely Kournikova would have made it as just a model without the tennis association so I can see why many people view it as totally unfair that she gets all the good deals.

I agree Michael, I just find it amusing that people expected her to be great because of it as if they were ignoring the obvious reason why she earns so much from sponsorship.
Its as if the public feel cheated that she's not as good at tennis as she is looking and they regret their investment of interest.
I can imagine Anna shrugging and saying 'I never said I was any good'
I can understand players annoyance at her earnings but its not her fault...its the sponsors and public who were suckered by her good looks. She's just going along with it and cashing the cheques.
Sharipova is what the sponsors wanted. Talent and looks, and dare I say it, white...the perfect recipe.

 

Well, at the risk of playing devil's advocate, there IS no other reason to watch tennis is there (same as all other sport, barring motorsport (not F1))? I mean, if you got women doing cricket and foolsball I might even watch those as well as tennis, but watching what looks like Pong to me is pretty dull - it's only the womens' grunts and legs that interest me!

 

A bit desperate, dom. Just get a porno - you'll not have to put up with any tennis.

 

He he he - I *knew* someone'd come up (oooh err!) with that one! The nearest I get to porno is Boogie Nights - porno just cracks me up... No way I can take anything with music that bad seriously!

 

Dom, you have a serious problem.

 

..in denial.

 

Eh? Seriously - if you've ever attempted to watch one (or ended up having one forced on you when you're round a mate's house), there's NO WAY you can keep any kind of straight face watching a "jazz movie" when the tunes sound so cheesy - it's that trailing sax and the fat overweight guy sweating all over a stick insect woman - gross out.

 

It's not all like that you know... There's plenty with no attempt at a plot or any sort of soundtrack... Or so I've been told .

 

Dom - they carried on making porn after the 70s you know

Michael.

 

"You cannaat be Seeeerious!!!". The shots some of these guys'n'gals come up with quite take your breath away, and when you see someone who actually has a grasp of tactics as well - carefully manouevring the opponent to the wrong part of the court before making the killer shot (or the opponent pulls something quite unbelievable out of the hat) to win the point - it really gets gripping.





(but the occasional fit sweaty woman is no detraction either )
