06/29/2006: "I Don't Understand the British"

Here's why: They think Benny Hill is funny, beer should be served warm, and this thing is sexy.

For those interested, this is Jodie Marsh, a "famous" Page Three girl at a movie premiere earlier this week in London. Now you might be wondering if she somehow forgot part of her costume, but I can assure you that's not the case - this is all there is. And just in case you didn't notice what she's "famous" for, she's pointing them out to you.

I'm just curious ... how low must your self-esteem be that you are willing to butcher yourself in this fashion and then humiliate yourself in public as an encore? What is she going to look like in 20 years? It can't be any scarier than she looks now, that for damned sure! Give it a couple of years and I'm sure you'll find her plying her trade on a corner somewhere.

Her parents must be so proud ...

She is quite a character.
The outfit she is wearing is one of her more covering ones - there is a picture somewhere of her wearing just a couple of "bandolero" ammo belts as a top & mini-skirt.
Those barrage balloons are all her own (and they don't look so big when not shaped by a "costume&quot - she is famous for a long-term "spat" with Jordan (Katy Price) who has had several visits to the booby-enhancer (I believe Jordan's actually reducing their size a bit now....)

Jodie has published an autobiography (at age twenty-something) and it's not a thin book.

How do the 'celebrity' girls make living doing this ?
I presume the autobiography hasn't made much.
Do paparazzi pay them ?
Do they get well-paid appearances at openings ?
Maybe she was paid for attending this premiere ?

Is it that she has her bra on backwards?

Well, at least she hasn't made a porno video yet with her boyfriend and "lost" it as so many of her US counterparts seem to do. More than once in some cases. AND when those US counterparts are actually worth MILLIONS $$$$ and don't even have to make a living from their natural assets.

How proud are their parents of them ????

For your information, Stan, beer should not be served cold, but lager should. The same goes for red wine - it shouldn't go in the fridge. There's a reason for it.

Benny Hill presumably IS funny as his show is one of the best selling export TV shows ever from the UK, to the USA in particular. In fact, the USA audience figures for the Benny Hill show are greater than the UK ones.

I find your assumption that the British find the picture you posted as "sexy" is unsettling. Your added assumption that the girl in question will also "be plying her trade on a street corner somewhere" in a couple of years is mind-boggling. Can I assume that Paris Hilton will be doing the same ?

Should I assume ALL Americans are as xenophobic as you ?

Tsk tsk. Look in your cupboard before you look in ours.

I don't normally reply to comments (and don't want to make a habit of it), but I respect Roddy too much not to.

I wasn't trying to be xenophobic, I was trying to be funny; I can accept that perhaps I wasn't. As for our own closet, believe me - there's plenty to laugh at there, too, and I intend to!

For what it's worth, I actually do think BH is funny ...
