Wannabe Original? Too Bad

In what may be my most chillingly insightful post to date, I submit for your consideration the following hypothesis: Anytime entertainment executives convene to engineer a group of diverse, female, cartoon-like characters, the same five stereotypes will result - Sassy Redhead, Pouty Brunette, Cleavaged African-American, Pony-Tailed Brunette, and Spritely Blonde. Observe:

Stereo-
type:
Supporting Dataset A:
"American Gladiators"
Supporting Dataset B:
"Spice Girls"
Sassy
Redhead
"Vixen"
"Ginger"
Pouty
Brunette
"Crush"
"Posh"
Cleavaged
African-
American
"Stealth"
"Scary"
Pony-
Tailed
Brunette
"Fury"
"Sporty"
Spritely
Blonde
"Hellga"
"Baby"

Orel I see you conveniently left yourself out of the mix. You are way more Pouty Brunette than Sax is.

Steve Sax said...

Ouch, you want Orel replacing me? I'm pouting even more now.

Orel said...

I think Posh made me lose an eye.

Eric Karros said...

Sax, I'd say Orel is Pouty Brunette, you are Sassy Redhead, Pedro is Pony-tailed Brunette, AC is Spritely Blonde and I guess I agree with Orel that I am Cleavaged African American. Lasorda and Delino I can't really say. Ok it's frightening that I actually put some thought into the above.

Steve Sax said...

I think Lasorda is Pete Best.

What happened to all these pictures? They're not loading any more...

Eric Karros said...

Yeah I don't know, I tried re-loading them but still no. I guess the post was too controversial.

Orel said...

They're back! For me, anyway.
