The Helen Thomas pictures thrown into so many threads are tiresome
Apr 1, 2010 | self

Posted on 04/01/2010 8:24:51 AM PDT by tlb

Inspired by an interesting thread regarding an actor who refused to do love scenes with an attractive female actress. Inevitably somebody thinks its "funny" to throw in a picture of Helen Thomas. This extremely tiresome "joke" has been run into the ground.

Looking it up she was born in 1920. So every day someone feels the need to point how that a 90 year old woman isn't a babe. And we have to shout that out a dozen times a day in threads that have no relation whatsoever to the Washington Press Corps. Aren't we so clever.

It's nothing clever, it's nothing witty, it's nothing civil. It's just a low cheap shot. In theory aren't we supposed to be better then this. Can't we give it a rest, or at the very least stop with the off-topic use of the pictures.

There are lots of things on FR that are tiresome, such as vanities.

I think it’s a different Helen Thomas actually...as she would have had to be 13 in this picture, since the caption claims she was a junior at Westminster College in New Wilmington in 1932 when this photograph was taken.

DO NOT SAY HELLEN THOMAS PICTURE AND BUSH IN THE SAME THREAD. Seriously I can’t afford to lose another laptop to vomit.
