In that case, when Matt Smith was announced as the new Doctor Who, a few friends contacted me with the news that the new Doctor looks just like me. I felt flattered until I read press descriptions of Matt Smith's "unconventional looks".
Quote: catskillz @ October 15 2009, 3:23 PM BSTHow about people of different races who look a-like? There was a brilliant example of this phenomenon, years ago, on the Graham Norton show, when someone sent in a picture of an African Priest who looked just like him (Norton).
I have an uncle who looks like Bill Cosby in negative.

I saw Cosby on a talk show last night. I commend him for still doing stand up at his age (72) but I have to say he was barely coherent most of the time.
He got off a few decent laughs but overall it seemed like he was having difficulty remembering his material. But either way the guy is just so likable your find yourself laughing just because...like a funny old uncle or something.

Unlike my uncle, who's just a bit of a racist.
How about Micky Dolenz and Pigsy from Monkey Magic? It's a classic.

No, again.
Quote: Dolly Dagger @ October 15 2009, 2:14 PM BSTI think Jade Goody was very pretty, but I know lots of people don't agree.
Quote: Dolly Dagger @ October 15 2009, 2:21 PM BSTAh, but she did have very nice features and a nice smile.
This is a comedy site - right?
Come on Dolly. She was the ugliest female on the planet and no bloke in their right mind would touch her with Aaron's.

One thing I noticed is that his humour is getting slightly more dirty. He used be known as the clean comedian. Now he's making penis jokes on national television.
Quote: catskillz @ October 15 2009, 2:29 PM BSTIt does make me cringe a bit when I hear people go on about Jade's nose looking like a pig's snout, because she was part black, and had obviously inherited her nostrils from her father.
Did he leave them to her in his will?
I honeslty can't understand people who didn't fancy Jade Goody when she was on Big Brother the first time before she got all cocky and aggresive and then sold her soul to Max Clifford. For a few months in 02 I spent my life looking for a manchester version of Jade Goody.

Maybe it's an age and cultural thing - when I was a teenager it was Kelly Le Brock, Heather Locklear, Heather Thomas, Cindy Crawford, Vanessa Paradis, Sabrina and a plethora of Page 3 Stunnas. (Even Madonna looked good for a while).
All of these women were incredibly glamorous and exciting, especially compared to some crass chav scum with the mental agility of a retarded doormouse.
I honestly can understand people who did fancy Jade Goody - she represented the type of woman any bloke could have pulled, even if they have incredibly low self esteem or little confidence. The lack of aspiration required can be very attractive, particularly if there is a common or shared background. Attainable is the word I'm looking for, like those Spice Girl munters or those absolute horrors on Eastenders.
A lot of Page 3 girls are like that too; especially from the era you mention (Sam Fox for example). I guess they're non-threatening girl-next-door types. Your average high fashion model would terrify your average bloke.

I couldn't stop myself from hearing Daffy Duck's voice shouting all of that, as I was reading it.

No, we weren't keen on Sam Fox or Maria Whittaker, we liked Kirsten Imrie, Kathy Lloyd and my favourite Shanine Linton. Cor.
We were also all totally in love with Banarama, particularly Keren Woodward. Double cor.
On the downside, we never got to see their vaginas on reality telly, but on the upside, they weren't allowed to talk much, so we never knew how thick or racist they were.
