I only saw this show once but I was immediately impressed with how it relentlessly pursues its specific demographic; almost like a magazine does with articles this does with everything from language to production values – all very new-stylie Women’s Institute takes University daughter out shopping in Middle England.
Clever, slick and paced like a raunchy coffee morning gossip session; it’s got its market completely by the nuts, except it doesn’t have any.
So how often do they “go around using tits…” How about in every third sentence?
Oh BTW, there are plenty of places here to see all the tits you want. They don’t mind squeezin 'em or shakin them in your face and arses too. We’re not all a bunch of prudes. Matter of fact I love a nice set of tits, hooters, knockers, breasts or whatever they’re calling 'em these days.
Sorry moriah I just couldn’t resist. But I originally thought you meant that you didn’t condone strangers fondling each other’s breasts and were warning Brits not to do that when visiting the U.S.
I think it’s something unique to BBC America, and almost certainly it’s to ensure it’s 100% inoffensive, to not create any ripples in the commercial world of American TV. Just about anything of quality from the BBC, from comedys of the Python heritage, to hard-hitting journalism, to satire, would quite probably cause friction with the companies carrying it in the states.
… we don’t draw attention to a woman’s breasts in person unless there’s a very valid reason to do so.
And this from the country that gave us Janet Jackson :rolleyes:
As a matter of academic curiosity, does this imply that there’s places where reaching out and manually adjusting them is the polite thing to do? Where?
I would dissagree. Unlike most fashion consultants in the US (Carson from QE for one), they actually dress themselves nicely. From what I’ve watched, about 8 out of 10 of their “victims” end up looking better after they start following T&S’s advice.
Regarding the OP’s shock at the manual adjustment of someone’s breasts: Just be glad you’ve never had a professional bra fitting. Mrs Magill went for one a couple of weeks ago, and was shocked at the number of adjustments she had, but she couldn’t argue with the results. (Nor could I - Yowzaa!)
Trinny and suzannah are a pair of “Crouching Tiger, Hinting Lesbian” harpies that exist solely to annoy me. Unfortunately the time when their show was on was during my slouching on the couch period in my busy schedule. My sister would watch this programme, and if I wasn’t as lazy as a rug on valium I might have left the room when it was on.
they come up with basically the same crap every week, slag off their targets clothes, but usually end up looking like sugar coated shite themselves.
and as for the OP, tits tits tits tits tits.
Please stop dissin’ the Puritans. America’s twisted sexual phopia was a 19[sup]th[/sup] century creation. Please replace “Puritan” with “Victorian.” Thank you.
Oh, if you can pass for a rural type, “teats” is daring choice of words that will set you apart from the pack.
