'OH GOD...FAT FUCKS GETTING A SLICE OF FITTIE FILLET STEAK....WHAT A FUCKING SEXIST PIG WORLD WE BURNING IN....'

was pretty much his argument if i remember

so i hope he enjoys heigal hooking up with a big hunk or burly monk

anyway...hadley freeman

i know misogyny and sexism are dirty words around here right now, but it such a toughie innit.

like...ole pete bradshaw mounted his steed and vowed to single handedly bring down 'wanted' because of it's crass and lazy depiction of the womens, either being

a) woMEN.....with balls and guns and no feelings
b) fat lasses
c) nagging girlfriends

but he had a rollicking old good time watching the hangover, in which the women we get are all either

a) strippers
b) nagging wives
c) stoopid deceived wives

despite it being crass and wrong he had a great time because it was all so absurd and whimsical. yet a film where modern day assasins bathe in vats of milk to heal broken bones and religiously refer to the the 'loom of doom' or whatever it was,....now that....that must be punished hard.

i dunno. just a little consistency is all. sexism debates are like premiership referees.
