So, I'm watching Cold Case. And right now it's an episode in which the detectives are investigating the murder of a woman from 1989, and an important plot point is that she's big, plain and could never attract a handsome man unless he had some kind of angle. And therefore the handsome boyfriend she acquired just before she died had to be evil/a con artist/a serial killer/very dodgy.

Would you like to see a picture of the woman that prime time TV tells us is so very large and unattractive that it has to be suspicious if any handsome man ever wanted to date her?




Is it just me, or is there something wrong with this story?

There is something horribly wrong with this story.

They've stuck an unattractive pair of glasses on her, but it still doesn't make much difference.

Gah!

Even without her paying for your gas?

She might have to buy me a teddy bear.

I'm watching it and frothing too! OK, so in the episode she is wearing glasses - and we ALL know women with glasses and a perm can't be pretty... err...


Grrr

I think all women should have to wear glasses.

I may have a librarian fetish.

It's remarkably like the woman in Ugly Betty, who isn't.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Noooooooo. *headdesk*

I am clearly so freakishly unattractive, by comparison, that no-one will ever want to date me. Oh, wait...

*I* would date someone who looks like her, but then I wouldn't be a handsome stud by TV standards, so maybe my opinion wouldn't count?

Well... she *is* kinda plain (I just don't find that "American" look very attractive), but she's not exactly deformed. Every onece in a while a guy might look past a bad perm and see someone he loves back there.

And there's no way in *hell* you could call her fat. She just looks kinda curvy from the picture. Curvy is generally a good thing if you ask me.

But it's American TV. They can't afford to put someone *actually* unatractive up there, or people may not want to watch her!

Should I just shoot myself now? She's meant to be unattractive? That's really quite sad.

If it helps any, and assuming that the above is a picture of you, you look *way* beter than her. But again I hate that 'American' look she has.
