City Slog: We’re Not Winning, But We’re Not Losing
posted by December 26 at 15:48 PM
onSlog vs. Squirrels is a virtual tie. This is unacceptable. For these who prefer to think in visual terms, here is a handy voter reference guide.
This is a squirrel:
And think of this as Slog:
Now really, which one would you rather vote for? Vote Slog!
Comments
and thousands of gay men on Capitol Hill opt out of voting...and three or four of them want to know where she bought that bra...
How can anyone be turned off by Jessica Alba? She's adorable, (and this coming from a straight woman, who too, wants to know where she got the bra.)
While both have a hungry look and either would be sensational down my pants, neither will go after the nuts I have to offer
Oh Boy, I was going to vote for Slog, but the evil squirrels are not using women's bodies to serve their own interests. Really, you could have put a cupcake, a steak, or a new car. Instead you choose to use women as a commodity.
Yeah, it is a joke. But, the joke is old, tired and not funny. In fact it reminds me of the the part in Eli's article on being Jewish where he talks about the "hip" friends saying, "Here comes the Jew." (Not trying to give a direct quote, just referencing the part). The Stranger may think of itself as a hip paper that can make a *joke* about using women as objects to buy the readers' votes. I could have given the silent grimace, but instead I'm posting. The joke is not funny, it's old, it's sexist and it is at the expensive of women.
But squirrels are my spirit animal!
So, how is that photo winning any points with Slog's gay (male) readers?
she doesn't turn me off...she just doesn't do...anything...
actually, i don't think she's that hot...or a very good actress...
I wonder if Laura Linney looks good in a bikini? (that almost rhymes)
Perhaps this is more permissable, stale quibblers:

At least the squirrel isn't airbrushed.
Vote Squirrel!
what is the very wise old saying - beware the still waters
the second women hoping to conceive a son would be the lay of any man's life - in any ear or time warp
the first, glamour puss, would rather watch herself on TV
I'm a dyke and I think the squirrel is way cuter. The patriarchal ideal of femininity as displayed by the pin-up doll Jessica Alba is a total turnoff to me. Blech.
I think I'm going with the squirrel—I fucking hate navel piercings.
Dita von Teese maybe, not talentless bland stick figure number #1,034,502.
As Carey once stated from SITC : "Squirrels are just rats in cuter outfits." Tke this and run with it.
A squirrel's brain is the size of a walnut -- substantially larger than Jessica Alba's.
VOTE SQUIRREL
You just convinced me.
It's moose and squirrel, all the way.
I voted slog all the way but as a better strategy to pull voters Stranger
you should of had a Bette Davis pin up instead. Lots of Lesbians and gays and Sand M and Goths absorb everything about her. Look around some of the gay and straight bars and taverns on capitol hill and you will find a image of her. Look at how some dykes and Trannys and Goth S and M folk gear up and it resembles 50s style Betty Davis, not Jessica Alba. Just an observation and oh yeah , most of your music ads for live shows or a band at some bar feature 50s pin ups as well. Exspecially for Tractor Tavern, Showbox, and the Vogue. Anyway nice choice for Alba. Shes hot.
I meant Bette Page. Damn it I need more coffee. It kept bothering me that I made the wrong referance, but Davis wasn't bad looking either

And, after the votes are counted, the prize is.... what?
gotta love Bette Page gay or straight she should represent the Stranger. Say no to Jessica alba... she doesn't represent sex sexy enough.
For those who need explanation heres Bette Page.

and heres Jessica alba

I'm sorry, but is she trying to look sexy there?
I voted squirrel just because, although Jessica Alba is pretty hot, she is a abominable actress. Whereas squirrels are not.
Vote squirrel!
Bette Paige doesn't do anything for me. There are better pictures of Jessica Alba (you should have used one from Sin City).
You should have used a kitten (I voted squirrel twice).
I believe that if Jessica Alba actually propositioned any of the people on this thread claiming to find her unattractive (because that's the cool thing to do, right?), they would immeditaely dive into her soft, latte-colored bosom with as much lust (if not more) than the rest of us. Any rational person would...it's OK to admit it. Really.
The actual Jessica Alba, sure. Cute as a button. But this pasty, bizarre FEMBOT 3000 photoshop creation with its freakishly shaved-down ribcage? No way. That's right out of the Uncanny Valley. Bradley, you've just talked me into voting squirrel.
