Self-parody doesn't suit you. Please find a new, preferably long-deceased, woman to mythologize; Amanda Knox is still alive and doesn't need to be eulogized by you.

@2: Yeah, pretty much.

I applaud this erstwhile jab at your own manufactured mythology. At least I now know you have a sense of irony. That, however, does not make this post any less juvenile.

Not buying that's she's innocent, or attractive, on any level.
