Jessica Lynch doesn't look too bad lately

[KFC]

Just talking looks. Not alleged heroism, politics, or war.

[Dr Satan]

1. why else would she be on tv?

?

[dajabr]

2. Too bad about that vulture on her shoulder...

Think she can have it removed?

[Rabrrrrrr]

3. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

They've decorated their house with http://www.homeinteriors.com shit!

I bet they have http://www.preciousmoments.com and http://www.thomaskinkade.com crap, too!

EGADS, HOW NASTY!

(she looks terrible in that picture, though - a function of a bad angle and a bad smile - but yes, she is cute. Her mom loks awfully good, unless that's Diane Sawyer, in which case Diane looks awfully good)

[Exultant Democracy]

4. bad angle, bad smile, and the the hair cut

isn't very good for her face shape.

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. Yeah. She has a really beautiful face,

too bad she's going for the stupid midwest-style "big hair" look. Looks absolutely terrible on her. She should take directions from her mother and go with a part, and not have bangs hanging down like a frickin' John Deere hay rake.

What's up with women outside the NYC area who wear bangs like that? I see it in the midwest, I see it obn Long Island, I saw it on Cape Cod... sheesh.

[Nailzberg]

9. That ain't her mom.

That's Diane Sawyer. Look closer and you'll notice the fangs of a bloodsucker.

[Rabrrrrrr]

13. I thought so, as I mentioned in post #3

But wasn't sure.

[alfredo]

17. the bangs cover zits.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

7. Thomas Kinkade

Kenny G of the art world.

[Rabrrrrrr]

12. That's the truth!

Hate that man's art, and his faux patioritc rah rah Christian BS.

Actually looks like that painting in the left side of the image could be a Kinkade. Wouldn't be surprised if the faker himself sent the family one when he heard about her ordeal, in order to show how hes such a patriotic american who loves his fellow Chrsitians serving in the armed forces.

Pfagh.

He makes me sick.

And Kenny G makes me sick, too. They should do something together. Kenny G could "compose" and "opera" and Kinkade could "paint" and "design" the stage "art" for it, and then they could get Kenny G, Celine Dion, N'Stink, Sade, Justin Timberlake, Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Beyonce, and Pink to "perform" it.

[CanuckAmok]

14. C'mon, that room is "set-dec'd"...

The Powers that Be have an interest in presenting Ms. Lynch as representative of an America they think everybody wants.

That room is so creepily "Sears display", I don't believe it was composed by anyone other than a spin committee.

What kind of message would it send if she lad a water-stained room in a trailer or a leaky downtown condo, with a framed Marilyn Manson or San Antonio Spurs poster in the background?

[Rabrrrrrr]

15. No, I'm sure it's real

It looks just like most of my relatives' homes, and most of the homes of everyone I know in WI. People really, truly, honestly do decorate their homes that way.

hell, my mom decorated that way.

[CanuckAmok]

16. Nope, sorry...

Notice the unfunctional composition, and the strategic lighting, particularly the warm 'cut' light beneath the print on the left, and the fill light in the table surface on the right.

It may be her home, but I guarantee it's been 'dressed' prior to the shoot.

[Rabrrrrrr]

18. Oh, no doubt it's been dressed

When you bring in lights and cameras, shit always gets moved around, to look better, to make the lighting all not screwed up, etc. hell, they do it for pictures of homes for magazines, of course they do it for TV, too.

But I wouldn't be surprised at all if that's all her stuff (or her mom's stuff, anyway), since I recognize that crap.

[Nailzberg]

19. You're right, her stuff, but moved around.

The crews don't bring around semi-trucks full of set decorations. That kinda thing happens in the art department of a feature film. TV crews use what is there. Objects are moved around to make a good composition for the camera, but 20/20 isn't gonna bother carting around end tables and lamps in thier luggage. All that chotch is the Lynch's.

[Rabrrrrrr]

21. And I hope the crew wash their hands after handling all that

non-artistic stuff.

Ewww.

I would.

on edit: bloody typo

[shirlden]

6. C'mon guys,

I hate it when you pick on babies. She has done nothing to deserve ridicule. I see her as just another used, abused reject of the BFEE. Hopefully, she will continue to have amnesia, so she can be safe in small planes.

I hope she has a great life.

:hi:

[Nailzberg]

8. Not knocking her.

She's kinda hot all done up. Hair needs work, but how good of a stylist can she get in her little town?

[HalfManHalfBiscuit]

10. I'm sure the schoolboys in her class will be sitting at attention

And cranking the air-conditioner really low.

[realFedUp]

11. She should look good

She had good care in the hospital in Iraq, 8 or 9
weeks resting courtesy of the Pentagon, home with
great benefits, a million dollar tv and book deal,
a marriage to look forward to and no more military
service.

[Endangered Specie]

20. she looks 30

Im gonna have to question some of y'all's tastes in women

[Nailzberg]

22. Actually she looks like an ex-girlfriend

The ex was hotter.
And she does not look 30. If she had a decent haircut, she'd be in business.

[ProudGerman]

23. Of course she looks 30

The last thing they want to remind us is that its kids over there fighting and dying. They want you to think adults are over there, not people saving up to be college freshmen.

Besides, they wouldn't let her wear the low cut belly shirt with no bra with the shorts that show butt cleavage on top and bottom.

[Nailzberg]

24. I plan to write to Diane Sawyer about that.

"Besides, they wouldn't let her wear the low cut belly shirt with no bra with the shorts that show butt cleavage on top and bottom."

I wanna see those abs. Figure all that soldiering and the trainer she probably hired now that she is a semi-celebrity, she's gotta be looking pretty good in the low cut belly shirts.

[KG]

25. how nice. now what about the stories of REAL POWS dammit?

you know, like the black single mom.

[Rabrrrrrr]

26. Oh, right...

Like the repuke rightwing media is go after a single black woman POW. There's no money in it. how can you hype up a single black woman? You can't make an action figure, because then you'd be sending the message that being a single mother is okay.

No, really needs to be a pure, virginal, white, blond haired, middle-class family-values woman.

And by saying that, I don't mean to insult Jessica - she is what she is, and need not apologize. I say that to condemn the media, and the Right Wing administration that controls the media, for their BS.

[prolesunited]

27. America apparently isn't

ready to embrace black single moms.

In fact, the military isn't either:

Ex-POW's Family Accuses Army Of Double Standard on Benefit

AUSTIN, Oct. 23 -- Shot through both legs and held prisoner in Iraq for 22 days, Army Spec. Shoshana Johnson returned home in the spring to a difficult convalescence that lacked the media fury and official hype that attended her friend and comrade in arms, Jessica Lynch.
<snip>

And now that Johnson is on the verge of her discharge from the Army, insult is being added to her injury, they say. While Lynch was discharged as a private first class in August with an 80 percent disability benefit, Johnson, set to leave in the coming days, learned last week that she will receive a 30 percent disability benefit from the Army for her injuries.
<snip>

Race clearly is a factor," said Jackson, who added that he will take up Johnson's cause with the White House, the Pentagon and members of Congress. "Here's a case of two women, same , same war; everything about their service commitment and their risk is equal. . . . Yet there's an enormous contrast between how the military has handled these two cases."

Think we'll be seeing that outrage on TV any time soon?

I think she looks pretty good, too!

[Rabrrrrrr]

28. Holy shit!!

That's another story that CBS won't have the balls to talk about. Or any other media, for that matter.

Damn liberal media, always failing to talk about racial justice and other important topics.

[slinkerwink]

29. I call that a FREEPER HAIRCUT!!!!

Seriously, most Republican women I've seen have that annoying hairstyle.

[Nailzberg]

30. But look where she lives. She doesn't have access to good salons.

Poor thing just needs to move to the city. She's got the raw material to work with.
