12/4    Why are eastern european models so plentiful and hot?
        \_ By "models" do you mean cam stippers? I wonder that

           the women there look like: light eyes, blonde or light brown

                 into tennis shoes for the walk. Feminists would say they
                 are still oppressed. There's probably some truth in that.
                 \_ In The South women wear high heels and makeup all the
                    time. Feminists would say that they are still...

12/4    Just saw a normal dating ad, except, it's JDATE. The people on the
        commercial don't even look Jew. Are they opening up the doors?

           Jewish either.
