I have chosen this female to bear my infernal spawn. The breeding must begin at once.

[MrChoronzon333]

With an ankh hanging around her neck, butt-length hair brushed a thousand times and a prim mouth set in grim academic determination, graduate student Laura Campbell goes on the British quiz show Mastermind and completely owns her chosen subject: the literature of H.P. Frickin' Lovecraft.

Honest to god, the only way this could be sexier is if Laura was wearing a bikini made out of tentacles.

Her only flaw was that she failed to smile sincerely. ..and that is a shame because all smarts and no fun makes "serious girl" a pain in the backside.

[Inexactchange111]

Shame she's so fucking ugly

@ManilaSyndicate Using brains to compensate!! WTF. There's a snag in your reasoning, beauty alone should not be our highest aspiration. But of course for men it isn't, this comment would not exist if the H.P. Lovecraft graduate student wearing an ankh was Laurence instead of Laura. God forbid a woman is not a bubbly, giggling mass and is aware of her intelligence. She was just as serious as the host and other contestants on this show...called MASTERMINDS!!! What did you expect.

@reafdaw01 I agree wholeheartedly.

@fearofclowns1989 haha, like i said, get your head out of your ass and stop feeling so high and mighty about yourself. and i really don't think that's the only way to compliment a woman, but i'd say it's obviously what these gentlemen on this board are referring to. if you have nothing better to do then to chastise them for it, then you need to get out more. indeed she wasn't, but she was answering questions on the works of one of the most talented writers to grave the planet

[fearofclowns1989]

@hiimquinn How typical of a 21st century troglodyte, try to put forth an articulate response, and then ruin it by adding an insult at the end. And you had been going so well until the 'now get your head out of your ass' jibe too. For shame. By the way, you may wish to expand your vocabulary if the only way you can think to compliment an intelligent woman is to call her 'sexy'. Slightly misogynistic is it not? It's not like she was answering questions on Plato by the way, wind your neck in.

@EVERYVERSER Even if you were a medical professional, it would be a stupid and useless thing to diagnose her over a clip on the internet.

[hiimquinn]

@fearofclowns1989 you DO realize it's not us trying to be pigs, but us trying to complement her, right? by saying she's "Sexy", we're commenting on the fact of not only how nice she looks, but how intelligent she is, and how it's amazing that people still study his literature. we all KNOW we're never going to get a shot with her, we just wish to be nice. now get your head out of your ass and enjoy the damn clip

'do you read these books for pleasure?'

WTF?
