Found on the web....

Mr. Cumberbatch
On behalf of all the glorious curls you masterfully sport on your head, we kindly ask you to keep your hands off and let us errant curls do our job.
Sincerely
The Wrongfully Tamed Errant Curls Syndicate

Oh, I love these. Can I please join the WTECS?

tiharoa · December 9, 2012 9:02 pm

WTECS sounds much better than Cumberbitches

Well, everything sounds better than Cumberbitches!

I quite agree.

I quite agree as well.

I love that article Harriet, thank you so much for sharing it with us. I love that the writer went into deeper issues surrounding the differences between men and women. Usually they're just overlooked, diminished or reduced to just calling us Cumberbitches. I won't get on my feminist soapbox, but it all goes so much deeper than that. It's hard to explain to my friends who often just see the conventional beauty of someone like Brad Pitt, the way they've been taught. But, we all know better.

I don't mind you stepping on your feminist soapbox, in fact, I like this to happen

I don't see any beauty in Pitt, Clooney and many others like them.....not to mention that most of them don't have anything to say I would be even remotely interested in.

Reminds me of many people, looking at my wallpaper at work in a strange way. Like: "Oh. Hm. "
They are simply not intelligent enough. They would "understand" a George Clooney at once. Obvious.

To save a little bit of Brad Pitt, he seems to be a committed, generous and also thinking person.
Heck, but I would't recognise him if I saw him

tobeornot221b · December 9, 2012 10:49 pm

Goodnight, ladies. See you.

Springs to the defence of George Clooney as well, who has been involved for many, many years in charitable works, is politically active and has also represented the UN. He is not 'pretty vacant'.

Oh I must agree with you there; also Brad Pitt does some pretty good stuff off-screen. His work with ONE campaign alone sets him way above many others.
I am always amused that people who believe they are such 'modern thinkers' by negating the worth of those with traditional good looks will very quickly place in them 'vacant' basket with no reasons to back it up.
On the other hand, Benedict has yet to show (rather than talk) about his 'worth' in other fields away from the cameras.

Thanks for warning us of such modern thinkers - I will look out if I find some

Oh it wasn't a warning, merely an observation.
