    Blah blah blah wood plank blah blah twobyfour blah blah construction blah. Fact is, she's more attractive than most other women; based on looks alone, would you honestly turn her down?


    Maybe it's that, to be racing on that professional level, she is easily a better driver than anyone here, and maybe that scares you. I don't know, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a psychologist, but give the girl a break, yeah?

    @strllng plyr: My attitude towards her comes from a completely different angle--it's that, if you want to be taken seriously as a rare and unusual female driver, you need to do so on the merits of the sport itself. The pandering may serve to boost her popularity temporarily among men, but she's not exactly helping her long-term image OR serving as the expected "role model" for up-and-coming girls. So its a Kournikova-level of fail, in my book.

    @strllng plyr: I actually find her attractive, and given the fact that she can drive she gets bonus attractiveness points from me. Also, as much of a boob man as I am, I would much prefer small and perky over big and saggy any day.


    But, you have to admit that SHAPE magazine is a little ironic given her chestal size.

    @Ash78: Exactly. She is somewhat of a joke among the general public. People who aren't into racing know who she is, but not because of her skills on the track.


    @strllng plyr: As a boob man, that's where my focus has been.

    @Ash78:


    The point you may be missing is it's the sport itself that is pandering. Watch the video again, focus on the first 3 seconds.


    And what exactly IS her long term image? Hasn't she been cultivating that the past few years, with full support and encouragement from the sport?


    As for Danica being a role model, she is a good one in many ways; she's competitive, fearless, strong, willing to play a man's game on a man's field, she gives as good as she takes (well, better), and she leverages her assets to strengthen her position in her chosen field. In other words, Danica is doing exactly what any man would do in her position.


    There are as many definitions of Win as there are Fail. Open your mind a little more.

    @Uncle Bo, piston forger: Definitely an interesting perspective...just because there isn't much of a market for Junior-on-Gordon softcore gay porn probably doesn't mean that either of them wouldn't do it for the right price. In bizarro world, that is, but I'm just trying to see past the double standard.


    I guess I'm just of the school of thought that you shouldn't use your sexuality to sell your image unless the two are inherently intertwined. So a model or actress who poses in a bikini is fine in my book. Not exactly admirable, but understandable. I'd even go so far as to say certain athletes can do it without issue (say, beach volleyball). But the non-sequitur between racing and bikinis just insults me as a man. It's like her saying "I'm not interesting enough and the sport sucks. Here's some tits."

    Nearly 21,000 hits. Hey Ray, how about you replace all of your Transformers posts with stuff about Danica. I bet that'd generate enough revenue for 24/7 Murlopnik.


    Better still, maybe GM should name a car after Danica Patrick.
