There is a difference.

I would ask why it bothers you if two people want to spend their free time discussing that question.

I don't much care whether they spend their free time discussing that question in private. When they post it on a message board and ask the public to rate the two, then it becomes part of the societal discourse and is more than just an offhand conversation between two people.

You seem to infer a lot of my real life persona from my cyber persona. I was really embarrased when in college my friends were giving grades to girls that were passing by using numbers on notebooks, and I did not do it myself. Although I stayed there and had a big laugh.. until someone called the director of the exact sciences school and we were reprimended.

Let's see what real women (not Mrs. WDK) think about it.

His cat's ears look like a Batman mask.

Scottish Fold



Scottish Fold cats are best known for their almost comically cute faces and their ‘floppy’ ears.

Another ‘floppy’ characteristic of the Scottish Fold is its tendency to lounge about in amusingly comfortable looking poses and stances.

Now if you are a movie producer, or are peddling anything from beauty products to cars, there is a reason to know what the masses tend to prefer. Attractive people, male or female, sell products. That's just the way it is. Do I like it? No, but I'm not even going to delve into that discussion. As for the two lovely ladies in this poll, I think both are attractive. My personal preference is for dark haired people (probably because my father was dark haired).

They are folded over in a style which everyone around the world knows is 'super cute'.

Much of the controversy centred on the provocatively named Double D Burger in Central. Although the owners claim the moniker was shorthand for their "dirty and decadent" menu, its reference is obvious: the size of a woman's bra cup. Their first ad campaign reinforces this idea, using a towering billboard that featured five women clad only in lingerie eating cheeseburgers, with the suggestive tagline: "In your mouth soon."

Outrage swelled when the restaurant's hiring guidelines - which included a requirement that staff "understand the dirtiness of our burgers" - became public.

Double D subsequently removed the offending adverts and ensuing comments from its Facebook page, but quickly riposted with a new campaign featuring an image of a bare-chested man holding a pixelated cheeseburger above a note: "Apparently we've been too saucy so we're blocking out the naughty bits."

Despite the complaints, there's no denying a lot of sexually suggestive advertising works.

"All these positive and negative reactions started to create a stir in Hong Kong, and we ended up being covered in many respected publications," says Magnetic. "In the end, this really made people notice us, so I guess that's positive for us."

This response just reminds Thompson how far Hong Kong has to go.

"We're supposed to be an international, first world commercial centre and have a very sophisticated audience. But in some aspects Hong Kong is behind the curve ... we're very backward here in understanding how and where negative stereotypes are formed, calling out sexist behaviour which denigrates women, and encouraging victims of harassment to speak up about their experiences."
