More important, would you want your TV stars to look like Ahnold? Here's a chance to put that to the text. It's an article and a film clip (a very funny and telling film clip) from Heavy.com (supposedly a "men's entertainment website") starring four female bodybuilders in "Flex And The City," a recreation of the opening credits of and a classic scene from "Sex And The City." The insipid dialog (which could have been written by our own Raunchydog if she could write any- thing herself, instead of reposting the ideas of others) takes on new meaning when delivered by women who are in better shape than any of the men reading this, and who could crush their skulls like an eggshell: http://nymag.com/daily/intel/2008/05/sex_and_the_city_with_female_b.html or http://tinyurl.com/6f4x8a I found it very funny and instructive indeed. And I'll admit to having had a girlfriend once who was an Olympic athlete (although she was a fencer, and not as pumped up as these gals), so I don't find them unattractive at all. In fact, I love that they're able to deliver the dialog of SatC as well or better than the original cast. Following a link in the article, I found other fun parodies at the same website like one called "(Over) The Hills," which seems to be a geriatric satire of an MTV series, "The Hills." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZqW-0zD6Ok There is also a profile of Brother Casare Bonizzi, an Italian Capuchin monk who sings in a death metal band in his spare time: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Aly_qWmRZUI And (especially for Raunchydog) there is "Hott 4 Hill," Taryn Southern's tremendous music-video love song to her favorite pantsuited hottie: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Sudw4ghVe8 The last one is actually fabulous, one of the best-produced music videos I've seen in some time. Whoever Taryn Southern is, she's got talent, even if she does have odd taste in derrieres.
