tool sucks

I really hate her for making it impossible to be a regular nerdy lady in the nerdy lady world. Now I'm supposed to be a "sexy" nerdy lady.

Olivia Munn is the Halloween version of nerdy ladies everywhere.

Munn's not drop-dead gorgeous, but she's certainly pretty. However, she's nowhere near funny enough to be a Daily Show correspondent (then again, neither are Samantha Bee or Jason Jones).

Also, @Rage and Alpha: if you really want to stir up controversy, you'll have to go after Portland's sacred cows, like this: Pavement and Sleater-Kinney were just plain awful.

I know she's not exactly Humphrey's type (being a woman and all) but I don't think she's that bad.

Spindles on January 26, 2011 at 6:25 PM

Olivia Munn: fake nerd; average looks (at best); annoying personality.
Radiohead: overrated; boring.
Sleater-Kinney: sucked even after they learned to play their instruments.

I could go on but Pavement and Tool are too easy.

I think she's attractive but I'm bummed that I've seen about thirty articles about how hot she is (or isn't) and absolutely nothing about her in any other respect. She's done a few spots on The Daily Show but I thought those were kinda spotty. I also know she's written a book which sounds really awful. Until she does something really impressive BESIDES looking good with nothing on I think the media circus around her is just gonna annoy me.

Not as attractive as Snooki anyway!

snookiloving on January 26, 2011 at 7:39 PM

Ack, I have no idea who she is! Where's the explanatory post? WSH's poll didn't explain who she is...

ROM on January 26, 2011 at 7:48 PM

@ROM: She invented cold fusion and helped end the siege of Sarajevo in 1996 at the tender age of fifteen.

Todd Mecklem on January 26, 2011 at 8:02 PM

(Her name also gets 156 times as many hits on Google as mine does, which isn't all that surprising.)

I think this Salon interview is pretty good. This part made me laugh:

"Are you tired of talking about the Jezebel story?

No. But I would really like to make a point that no one knew what the fuck Jezebel was before that story came out."

I have no opinion otherwise.

Her new hair on tonight's Daily Show was really cute though.

smapdi on January 26, 2011 at 9:36 PM

I'm not a fan of her or anything but really, these are two of the most unflattering pictures of her I've seen.

Wubbles on January 26, 2011 at 11:27 PM

She is patently unfunny on the Daily Show. Fact. It's frustrating that comedy is such a male-dominated field, and the second female on the show (behind Samantha Bee, who is excellent) can't freaking buy a laugh.

ambrown on January 27, 2011 at 12:13 AM

Maybe the answer can be found in "The Mathematics Of Beauty" which can be quickly summarized in the follow rule: the more men as group disagree about finding a woman attractive they more likely a majority of the men will find her attractive"

These guys are math geeks with lots of data you can read it here: http://blog.okcupid.com/

She's comic actress hot. You know, like when a guy's watching the LPGA or WNBA (it occasionally happens when the remote gets lost under a couch cushion) and he says to a buddie that one of the players is hot. They're not hot like a Victoria's Secret Model, but hot enough that the two couch-bound guys are going to make animal sounds when the ladies bend over.

That said, I have odd taste and a major crush on Kristen Schaal.

extramsg on January 27, 2011 at 3:26 AM

Chris Hardwick's good looks, low-body fat percentage and too-tight 80's T-shirts make it impossible(!) for me to be a reguar nerd guy in the nerd guy world.

Oh the tyranny of telegenic nerds and "nerds!"

And also I'm 12.

TSW on January 27, 2011 at 7:38 AM

We're talking about someone who got her start on a network about video games. Those viewers are so starved of any interaction with females that she became an instant nerd throb. Did you ever notice how good Denny's tastes on a long road trip in the midwest when you haven't been able to find any open restaurants?

That said, I think she's both funny and attractive. Flame on, bitches.

MeadowlarkLemon on January 27, 2011 at 8:19 AM

Oh, she is on the Daily Show.

ROM on January 27, 2011 at 12:04 PM

She's pretty enough, though it also annoys me that that's what anyone talks about. That said, I don't find her funny at all and it annoys the crap out of me when she is in Daily Show skits. Being a kind of comedienne, you would think that she would come off with more personality than she does. It just comes off as flat and boring.

Roadflare on January 27, 2011 at 12:38 PM

She leads with her left. (boob)
