When the raspberries want to protest about stuff, they really ought to make sure

[Burney]

they send out their more photogenic representatives rather than the really alarming and off-putting wons like this effort. C'mon, it's basic PR, guys. You can't win hearts and minds while looking like Gollum's girlfriend. :-(

A certain unattractiveness rather comes with the territory though, I suspect. Otherwise, what are they protesting about. I mean, isn't the whole point of the thing that they *don't* look like Heidi Klum?

Yes, but there's the more photogenic end of the disability spectrum and then there's just plain scary-looking.

Look.. We've all had to accept the Paralympics.. What more do they want :shrug:

Something like this, perhaps? A coy glint in her eye that may or may not be permanent facial paralysis.

I think she's cripping it up for the camera

One can't help but wonder where the paralysis begins.

Would you though, M?

I actually thought along those lines with her :hide:

Look at this chirpy one. Still manages a smile and a thumbs up despite having a giant At sign emblazoned across her chest. No pity party for her!

[Sir C]

Ooh, saucy!

Don't pretend you didn't think it.

Yeah, tellingly the hot chicks in wheelchair pictures on google all seem to be library shots (ie fake raspberries). The real wons all look pretty gopping.

But seriously, they could use amputee war veterans. Everyone likes an amputee war veteran. They immediately have our sympathy.

[Monty92]

Would you though, M?

She’s a pretty girl, but I worry what her immobility would have done to her body.

In my experience, the disablers tend to sit about a lot and shirk exercise if they can help it.

I doubt she’s very toned, but I’d have to see more of her...ouvre....to say for sure.

I don't know about anyone else, but this makes me think of what happened to that bird in the first scene of 'Jaws'. :-\

Good point. Of course, we all know that temporarily disabled, a broken leg a s a result of a riding accident, or something, is another matter entirely, for instance.

Long-term Wheelchair-boundery or bed-ridden adds a whole nother flavour to the thing, I suspect.

Yeah, do a double header with Help for Heroes :puke:

In that case, I've certainly got my "plaster-of-Paris wings".

Was she in traction?

[redgunamo]

Was she in traction?

:hehe: No. Though I doubt it would have changed much even she had have been :phwoarr:

[Burney]

:hehe: No. Though I doubt it would have changed much even she had have been :phwoarr:

:hehe: Although the correct answer was 'She was when I'd finished with her - Phwooooarrrr!'.

Double leg amputee ladies offer some remarkable sexual possibilities, of course.

As B says, it's all about the marketing.
