'Being voted unsexiest woman alive hurts so much',

[Mugu]

says Sarah Jessica Parker as she cries all the way to the bank.


As Carrie in 'Sex and the City' she might not always get the right man.

And being voted "unsexiest woman alive" was a hard pill to swallow.

But in real life actress Sarah Jessica Parker hasn't gone home totally empty-handed, having raked in an estimated £12.5m since the end of the popular TV series.

She has earned more than her three co-stars combined thanks to a series of lucrative advertising deals.

I can't image why a magazine would host a poll like this. What a mean thing to do.

[Blue-Jay]

1. Why the long face?

[youthere]

2. What a horrible thing to say...

when I'm done laughing..I plan to be very angry with you.

[geardaddy]

4. *rimshot*

[Tektonik]

25. .

[JVS]

38. LOL

[BlueJazz]

39. Her favorite Joke is: "Excuse my voice, I've been on the set all day and I'm a little Hoarse"

[kwassa]

55. oooooooh!

[MilesColtrane]

72. We don't put up with posts like that here.

I'm not trying to bridle your free expression, or stall your sense of humor.

I also don't want to saddle you as a Lounge pariah.

Neigh.

The mane thing to keep in mind is that even though you're just feeling your oats, you can rein in the snark a little.

[Political Heretic]

88. rofl!! THANK YOU for helping me through my work day!!

[JoePhilly]

92. Bang!! And they're off!!!!

[Cannikin]

98. Priceless.

[supernova]

3. I think she's unconventionally pretty

and she looks good in the clothes her character is supposed to like wearing.

So? :shrug:

It's a stupid poll and the british rags aren't known for their classiness.

[zanne]

85. I think she's pretty too. Especially when she smiles. nt

[BuelahWitch]

5. What a horrible thing to do!

I'm not a fan, but nobody deserves something like that.

Isn't Maxim kind of a sleazoid magazine anyway? :shrug:

[Oeditpus Rex]

12. Maxim is absolute trash

It's an "Esquire" knock-off geared to smirking Generation Fuckyous who've seen "Boiler Room" 83 times and think Giovanni Ribisi was a schmuck.

[ghostsofgiants]

44. Best description of Maxim ever.

[Chovexani]

57. Amen.

[ghostsofgiants]

62. I can't express my dislike for that magazine enough.

x(

[Chovexani]

63. Me either.

It pretty much sums up everything that is wrong with this culture.

[XemaSab]

64. Maxim cracks my shit up

One time I read this article in there about how to decorate your bedroom to get chicks to fuck you.

Their rules: no posters of rocks, ice, or volcanoes.

I went in my room, looked at my Chiricahua, Capitol Reef, Glacier, Mono Lake (in winter), Lassen, and Mt St Helens posters and LAUGHED. :rofl:

[Fox Mulder]

67. Looks like I'm in trouble.

I was a Geology major in college. Guess what's on my wall.

[LeftyMom]

6. That picture looks like Mr Ed dressed in clothes taken off of a dead bum.

She's not exactly pretty at the best of times, but that really is just a terrible photo.

[flvegan]

7. Why? Because it's Maxim.

Grocery store masturbation material for 14 year olds.

SJP is hawt, IMO.

[Sheets of Easter]

9. SJP is hawt if Easter Island statues give you a chubby.

I kid, I kid!

She's not a conventional beauty, but I wouldn't call her ugly.

[Ellen Forradalom]

37. That would be Leonard Cohen

Now HE's a singing Easter Island head.

[Blue_Tires]

17. very true

i remember when 'maxim' and 'stuff' and all the other copycats appeared on the scene...i was in college at the time, and not long after EVERY dorm room had about a 10-issue backlog of maxim or something similar...

it is truly lowest-common denominator stuff...makes "Hustler" almost look highbrow

[mikeytherat]

8. Well, I better not tell Mrs. Rat - she looks just like SJP

mikey_the_rat

[geardaddy]

10. I think she is sexy. n/t

[mitchum]

11. She'll have the last laugh when she wins the Triple Stakes

[Fran Kubelik]

14. Ok, so I think that's a horrible thing to say.

And yet, you made me spray water. Out of my NOSE! :spank:

[Mugu]

32. I really hate to admit it, but I thought that was funny. n/t

[jmm]

49. deleted

posted in the wrong place.

[bicentennial_baby]

13. "She looks like a foot!"

-Peter Griffin (paraphrase)

[Shakespeare]

15. GET OUT OF MY HEAD!

Fuck. I was just about to post that. :rofl:

[bicentennial_baby]

19. !

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:loveya:

[DS1]

16. this thread, oh man

foot


:spray:

[qb]

18. WTF? I think she's hot... and I'm gay

:shrug:

[pitohui]

21. maxim is porn for teen boys

they keep just enough on (which is not very much) that they can apparently put it legally in the hands of teen boys

she's a 43 year old woman who looks like a 43 year old woman

"mom" is not a sexy image for the normal teen boy to masturbate to, so yeah, for them, no doubt in my mind that she's about as unsexy as they can imagine

she is not trying to pander to that audience and really why should she?

[qb]

26. Wow... she's the same age as me! I feel young now

:bounce:

[Fleshdancer]

20. all of us can take a horrible picture

I personally love that she is comfortable enough in her own skin to not get sliced and diced to meet a ridiculous standard of beauty. While her looks may not be the typical barbie look that people like Pamela Anderson strive for, anyone who has watched Sex in the City knows that there is a sweetness and sexiness to her and that her unflattering pics are not the norm.

[pitohui]

22. sure and most of us do take a terrible picture, i know i do

however considering that she is 43, very slender, and claims not to have work done -- well, that's exactly what a 43 year old slender white woman looks like in the real world, lines are a fact of life unless you are willing and able to gain a little more weight or else willing and able to have some kind of cosmetic procedure done like restylane or botox

the "unflattering" photo is probably what she looks like when she's at home in bed and if a person finds that more horrifying than the obviously overly made-up and airbrushed photo that takes an army of professionals to produce -- well, then, that person doesn't find real fortysomething women attractive either, it's just that the readers of maxim are more honest about it

she ain't the "unsexiest woman alive," that's just silly, but comparing an airbrushed picture to a candid is not quite honest either

we have a real problem in this society that perfectly normal women over about age 16 -- any photo of them that shows what the person might actually look like without a team of make-up artists -- we are horrified at the "unflattering photo" but isn't that another way of just saying the person is ugly to our eyes? because the unflattering photo is more real than the make-up team and professional lighting services photo!

[Fleshdancer]

23. I only chose that pic because it was taken at an event

I made a point not to choose an airbrushed professional photo for that very reason.

[Guava Jelly]

24. Ugly my ass

She is a hottie

[mondo joe]

27. Sometimes she's beautiful, and now and then she looks like 1/2 of Wayland & Madame

The Madame half, that is.

The whole thing seems creepy to me though.

[youthere]

33. Wasn't there a Seinfeld episode about something like that?

Sometimes the girl Jerry was dating, and other times, in the right light :scared:

[JVS]

40. Two-faced!

[MrSlayer]

28. Beauty is but a lightswitch away.

She's a butterface for sure but it could be worse.

[Wetzelbill]

29. I kind of always liked her

Yeah sometimes she doesn't always look that great, but hey, I've fucking seen myself in the mirror when I wake up and that's about as rough as it gets. She's an attractive woman, nobody looks perfect all the time. We all look haggard after or during a tough day, the ones who don't are freaks of nature.

[Taverner]

30. It's her character from SITC, and that she's just plain unattractive

You may find her hot, but I like a little more meat on a woman.

And since sexy is 90% attitude, her character from SITC is anything but sexy. OK, you've got a Manhattan Princess who treats every guy in her life like crap, and then laughs at her suitor's weaknesses with her friends. That's sexy...NOT!

[mondo joe]

31. In my estimation, SJP is what women and gay men think is beautiful moreso

than what hetero men think is beautiful.

That's just a generalization and doesn't apply to everyone, even just in my opinion.

[Taverner]

54. She is the fashion magazines target demo

However, I will take the likes of Rachael Ray, Jane Mansfield - you know - size 8 and above.

When a woman's great, you just want more of her, ya know?

[NewJeffCT]

34. please, she's way sexier than Ann Coulter

and, a host of other RW women - Melanie Morgan, Dr. Laura, etc.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

50. Dude. A steel tetrahedron is sexier than Ann Coulter. -nt

[Xithras]

35. She's an acquired taste.

Physically I don't find her attractive in the least, but I do like her as an actor and think she's probably a pretty great person. I do tend to find that sexy.

[DarkTirade]

36. That's just silly.

I mean, I've never found her attractive... but she's certainly not ugly. Nor is she the ugliest person in the world. That's just silly. There are plenty of genuinely ugly people out there... both physically and personality-wise. Why pick on someone who's fairly average, but happens to be in the public spotlight in a field where people tend to be judged based on appearance?

[Iris]

45. probably because she dares to make it in a field where people are judged based on appearance.

Wasn't she the executive producer of SITC?

I've always thought she looks great.

[DarkTirade]

46. And she has the audacity to play *gasp* a woman interested in sex!

Heaven forbid the non-pretty people actually expect to have any kind of phsyical contact with other human beings!

[Iris]

47. oh, the horror!

although, she does look good in clothes.

[JVS]

41. Ok, a lot of you village idiots better shut the fuck up already or Matt Broderick wil kick your ass!

[mitchum]

43. I'm only afraid of him when he's behind the wheel of a car

[DS1]

48. stay on the correct side of the road and you'll be fine

[Sugar Smack]

42. Yeah? My epitaph's going to read "SHE LOOKED BUSY"

and I may or may not have a cent to my name.

[jmm]

51. If Maxim's poll was anything like their music reviews

they made an "educated" guess instead of looking at their pictures.

[NC_Nurse]

52. What a bullshit poll. Maxim sucks.

How small-minded and mean. Sexist fucks.

[Orsino]

53. Well, a lot of male egos were threatened by that show...

...and it stands to reason its star would bear the brunt of the hate.

Including the most horrid picture they could find.

[Iris]

89. She's not just the star. She was the executive producer.

[Orsino]

93. I guarantee you the haters don't care about that.

Drooling idiots don't read credits.

[Iris]

95. good point!

[otherlander]

56. I think she's pretty.

God I hate this superficial culture so much. I purposley wear unmatching clothes and no makeup as an act of rebellion.

[Kat45]

58. I think she's sexy because she has a thin body that looks good in so many styles of clothing

She tends to dress in sexy outfits and when she wears her hair long and curly she often looks hot and sexy. The way she acts can also enhance this. BUT I do think her face is her weak point; she is not pretty. She has a thin face and a long nose, and when she wears her hair long and curly its fullness eases the sharpness of her face. When she wears her hair straight or up, her face doesn't look very good.

[kwassa]

59. I've never thought her attractive ....

but this poll also disses Sandra Oh, who is VERY attractive.

all these polls are ludicrous, anyways. sexiest person alive? according to who?

[Lethe]

60. what a tacky thing to do

dumb

[sasquatch]

61. Oh yeah, cause Sarah Jessica Parker is the unsexiest woman alive

:eyes:
I find it hard to believe that the people that voted in this poll would rather fuck a catchers instread of being with Sarah Jessica Parker. I see these guys as the types that are still living at home with there parents for the rest of their lives.

[XemaSab]

65. She's not movie-star pretty

but she's normal person pretty.

I can probably think of 10 women off the top of my head who are like, actually scary looking, and some of them used to be really hot. :shrug:

[Indi Guy]

66. I like her -- wart and all... nt

[Fox Mulder]

68. She doesn't do it for me.

And I'm being nice.

[krispos42]

69. Uglier than that "Trading Spouses" nutjob?

The screaming fundie one?



I think I know which one I'd like to wake up next to in the morning!




Personally, I find her on the lean side, but she seems to be very nice, warm, and pleasant.

[mitchum]

70. My main issue with that pretentious nag is how she always smugly prattles on...

about how in her household, her parents only exposed she and her siblings to books, art, and other "high culture" There was no television or other "low culture"
Big fucking deal.
Obviously, it had no effect. She has been contributing to the banality machine for decades.
She also lies about her age.
Oh...and she looks like a cross eyed horse.

[Ordr]

71. I think she's sexy in a prolapse kind of way.

[MilesColtrane]

73. I'm surprised she never played Elphaba on Broadway.

[DS1]

74. She looks like Perry Farrell in drag, to me

[graywarrior]

75. Hey, I've gat a 3.5 rating on Hot or Not, so I know how she feels.

*neeeeiiiiiigh*

[ScreamingMeemie]

76. Yeah, but people purposely vote those things down...because

people are just mean, on purpose even.

[graywarrior]

77. I confess I'm guilty of doing that sometimes.

:blush:

[ScreamingMeemie]

78. I do it all the time.

Because I'm mean, and also because some of those people deserve it. I wouldn't vote you down though.

[graywarrior]

79. I wouldn't vote you down either

And thanks for being more honest than I am. I am really mean but I pretend to be nice so I can have friends. *snort*

[ScreamingMeemie]

80. People think I'm nice, but they don't know me very well.

[graywarrior]

81. Let's start a biker gang.

[DS1]

82. Hell's Belles - Votin Down Fugs Since 2005

[graywarrior]

83. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!

:rofl:

[ScreamingMeemie]

84. I like it.

:thumbsup:

[graywarrior]

86. Our motto.

[bicentennial_baby]

90. I do, beeyotch!!

:rofl:

:D


:loveya:

:hug:

Miss you!

[Deep13]

87. Stop making her feel like some kind of square peg!

Anyway, no one who stands up straight is the unsexiest woman alive.

[gbate]

94. Nice reference, there.

;) She was adorable then and she looks pretty good now.

[Mike03]

91. That kind of poll is very nasty. I don't understand why they do this.

Celebrities are people too; in fact, they tend to be more insecure than most other people, IMO.

I'd like to see the paparazzi and gossip merchants held to the same standard. They are really the whores of the entertainment industry.

[Phillycat]

96. Most women think SJP is attractive; a lot of men do not.

I noticed that phenomenon years ago when SATC was still on.

[applegrove]

97. She's gorgeous. In an endlessly fascinating way unlike those "beauties" whose

faces just look like a newborn's.

[grannylib]

99. I think that's just mean and tacky beyond belief...what is it about

hurting people is fun or satisfying for some?? It's one thing to pan someone's WORK or spoof it or whatever (Razzie Awards, for example) but hitting someone for something so personal I think is just wrong.

[dropkickpa]

100. Maxim is just a men's tabloid

Very little substance, lot's of made up shit, and all around dumb.

[nomorenomore08]

101. Yes, mean, but also ironic, because Maxim is pretty much the equivalent

to all those vapid women's magazines (like Cosmopolitan) that always have SJP and her ilk on their covers.

Both the "men's" and "women's" mags these days are a waste of perfectly good trees IMO. Sure, I might enjoy looking at the pictures in Maxim, but that doesn't stop me from thinking about all the paper wasted on shitty grocery-store publications.
