    Asking you questions you don't want to have to answer about content no one cares about.

    Isn't this the entire premise of NonSociety?

    A decent photo of Marissa Mayer.

    Also, she actually does have feet.

    It's funny that the Chinese version of "his wife" that they used to describe Mrs. Woods is "his old lady".

    Finally, the Chinese have excelled at something creative, entertaining, and funny.

    It's a shame Next Media is being blocked from launching new ventures. Because... damn: A 30-minute evening "newscast" of these hilarious videos, in Taiwanese WITHOUT subtitles, would kill on Comedy Central.

    I don't know, Apple Daily is taking some serious liberties here. For example: since a Cadillac Escalade is hard to draw, they animated him having sex in a Honda Odyssey.

    Dear assholes making comments about Marisa Mayer’s looks:

    This is not good. Clothes, maybe. But comments about her face and body?

    Also, it seems you do this only or mainly when it’s about a woman. So stop being sexist.

    Cheers,

    @iplaudius: She's actually pretty cute in most pictures. This one is just a bad pic.

    Regardless it IS true that this really only happens with posts about women.

    You know that this is only because everyone making these comments is God's gift to beauty, right?

    @iplaudius: Well, I'll make no judgments about Marisa's face or body. But when men are short, or bald, or have small penises, women are all too happy to joke about these facts as though men choose to be hairless, short and poorly endowed. More importantly, the attitude is one of laughable fault, as though, had they studied more in high school, they too would have fit the standards of the women discussing them. I'm not suggesting that patriarchy doesn't exist and that we should try not to be douchebags when discussing women. All I'm saying is that, women do it all the time.

    @Hey_mikey: Sure there are women who do this. It is no where near as prevalent as the boy's sneers toward pretty much any woman who isn't a supermodel ..and even some of those.

    I may have misspoken when saying it ONLY happens when it is about women.

    Everyone has opinions but I really believe most women handle the dissemination of those opinions much better than most men.

    Either way it is annoying. I hate people who "people watch" in real life just as much as I dislike the people who do so through the Internet.

    @iplaudius: I swear valleywag used to go out of their way to post derogatory stories of female silicon valley execs, who always happened to be blond.

    The posts were like crack for sad cubicle farm tech worker-bee guys with chips on their shoulders and nothing cleverer to say than "show us yer tits"

    @Hey_mikey: The point is, on this site, these types of insults are far more frequently hurled at women.

    Perhaps it is to be expected when the subject is a woman such as Julia Allison, whose interest and social identity are in large part defined by her appearance and sexuality. Mayer, by contrast, is interesting because of what she is doing with Google.

    People rarely go after men of Mayer’s professional stature—or, if not stature, notoriety. I can’t recall a pattern of looks-based insults in, say, the comments on articles on Peter Thiel, Sergey Brin, Rupert Murdoch, or, for that matter, Luke Russert or George Stephanopoulos. That is the sexist bias: people tend not to make such comments about men, but they frequently make such comments about women like Marisa Mayer.

    There is an exception: male subjects typically get criticized for their looks only when they draw attention to their looks or sexuality: e.g., Scott Brown, John Fitzgerald Page, and Paul Janka.

    What is going on down by her feet? Are those moon boots? Is she experiencing some sever swelling? Are her feet actually just puffy, fleshy blobs?

    I see the Gawker editors' contest to see who can post the most unflattering photo of Marissa Mayer is still running strong. Did she big-time Denton at a new media conference or something?

    I'm off to conduct an experiment. Having loaded Google Goggle onto my Droid, I'm going to photograph an IPhone and see if's recognized. Don't blame me should flames start shooting out of the circuitry at Cern.

    Can't you airbrush her photos before publication, and maybe add some soft-light filtering along with digital weight loss, the way Glamour magazine does?
