hammsangwich He would hate Houston. All the concrete (probably more) and no beach.
Hooker So is this a show where an Englishman (I know who Stephen Fry is) drives around in a car talking shit about places?
The Mothership US tour in a London cab. He absolutely adores lots of the US.
cognitivedissonance He is actually very cheery and accomodating, and this entire series is a pleasure to watch.
Miami is, without a doubt, JUST THAT BAD. I can attest to Fry's hatred of Miami being entirely justified, it is awful.
Syd Midnight This is the first clip I've seen from this show where he isn't filled with curiosity and delight at the exotic wonders of America. He drives around enjoying the country more than any of us ever could, alternately awed, fascinated, amused, and respectful. Check out the clips where he's at a Nevada whorehouse, a Mendocino County firing range, and a college football game. He loves the hell out of this country.
Dr Dim I like Stephen Fry but I don't follow this "beautiful people are ugly" thing. OK, if they're noticeably vain, but what if they just like going to the beach?
kingofthenothing What's ugly is not so much that they're beautiful, but what goes with it, namely, the attention-whoring and demanding to be worshiped. In many cases the road to beauty precludes intelligence, a sense of humor and a meaningful personality.
Raggamuffin I'm struggling with it too, but I think what he means is that by being attractive people in this context, they become hollow props for the scene, just like the palm trees and the whatnots.
memedumpster I find them grossly physically unattractive, for about the same reason I find Real Dolls and that one anime doll with the gyrating nipples unattractive. Most "beautiful people" are squarely in the uncanny valley.
Hooker The Internet has really gone way too far with the term "uncanny valley."
memedumpster I agree, Hooker, but "plasto-symmetro-fugly" didn't seem to pack the same punch.
Dr Dim It's interesting how people define beauty. To me it's just good genes, health and some basic grooming.
Cena_mark someone is just bitter about being pudgy and pale.
