Start your morning with a healthy dose of WTF!

[elvenpiratelady]

I am feeling much better after last night's post, thanks to the people who made sympathising comments. Luckily, I managed to stop the emoness before I could write any horrific poetry. :P

Everybody knows that you should start your day with a big, hot, steaming bowl of fresh weirdness, but honestly, Matt Damon is voted the sexiest man alive? What sort of strange parallel universe was I transported to in my sleep? I can only conclude that they asked only people who had seen the Bourne movies, and only the bits with him in it at that, which is POPULATION BIAS and means they have EXTENDED THE RESULTS INAPPROPRIATELY which is BAD STATISTICS and because the SAMPLE IS NOT CONSIDERED TO BE REPRESENTATIVE OF THE POPULATION THEY CANNOT APPLY THE FINDINGS OF THE SAMPLE TO THE LARGER GROUP. < / statistics rant >

DON'T look at me like that. I have done statistics for six months more than I should and I know my stuff. :P

I have clearly fallen into Matt Damon world, where everyone is Matt Damon and thinks they are sexy and therefore voted for him because of it. I will be attempting to make a rip in space-time to get back to the normal, sane world if anyone wants me. :)

Fer Chrissake, Johnny Depp and Brad Pitt were options! One of them should have won by default! (Should have been Johnny. Right, leaving now.) :D

Ah, statistics. A wonderful way to tell the difference between the odd but coincidental and the downright impossible. I don't do them for a living (or even a major), but I thoroughly enjoyed my statistics class.

And yes, Matt Damon being the "sexiest man alive?" WTF? Sean Connery is sexier, for the love of Pete. Not to mention Johnny Depp, Brad Pitt, or any of the other half-million young heartthrobs running around.

I liked statistics when I did the easy class, but I'm glad it's finally over now.

Sean Connery was always the best Bond, and could beat the others into the ground with one hand tied behind his back even now, I say. Honestly, Franka Potente's character is sexier in the Bourne movies. So is Julia Stiles, the guy who played Treadstone, and the assassin called The Professor. As I said before, clearly biased as they must have only sent the quiz to Bourne fetishists. :D

"Rock solid family man, heart-melting humility..."

Since when are those SUPPOSED to be sexy attributes?

Ah, well... New world, new values...

I think they come from the same era as when pastel sweaters tied around the neck were considered the height of fashion. :D

Am I weird because I've never found Brad Pitt (or Matt Damon, for that matter) attractive? I've never really seen the appeal...

Both of them rather strike me as cotton candy for the eyes. Nice enough, I suppose, but I'd rather something with a bit more presence and substance. If I can't tell you their roles in various films and how they in particular affected the movie, I don't usually consider an actor all that hot. Which is why Sean Bean and Alan Rickman will always get my vote before Matt Damon, all shirtless scenes and ponytail in "Shooter" aside.

I didn't see the appeal of Pitt until Mr and Mrs Smith. He was tolerable in Troy, but Hector and Odysseus totally pwned him. I agree with Warg: after the initial eye candy, I'd rather have someone with substance, which is why I moved on from Orlando Bloom. :P

I suppose...I don't think I'd even go as far as calling them cotton candy, though, as I quite like it in small amounts, but they just do nothing for me whatsoever.

I agree with your definition of a 'hot' actor, though. I mean, they've got to have talent!

I confess I'm always quite enamoured with people who can make me laugh...from watching a lot of QI Alan Davies has become one of my new favourites. He's like a puppy, it's adorable!
