Looking for a cause when there is none - Lena Dunham Caught out

[ColinJ]

Could you suggest a viewpoint that I should have about an actor that I've never heard of, who starred in a series that I've never watched, whose 2012 photograph in a magazine that isn't stocked by my newsagent and which reappeared on a foreign magazine's cover whose circulation doesn't appear to extend to Leeds, because I'm struggling to come up with one.

Not to mention the 'young farts' who have never heard of half the stuff that they really ought to know. For example, many undergraduates on my course who were 10 years younger than me had no grasp of calculus so they were incapable of understanding our electromagnetism lectures. In the end, the lecturer suspended electromagnetism and gave them a crash course in engineering maths instead. A bit galling for us 'slightly less young farts' who did understand calculus, had to sit through tedious explanations of stuff we had done in O-level/A-level maths, and then eventually had only half the allotted time to study what we should have been studying in the first place.

Love it when the old farts are clamouring to demonstrate exactly how much stuff they've never heard of.

I can't seem to keep au fait with the hectic lives of celebrities having forsaken the on-line Daily Mail.

WTF?

Ooh, yesterday I learnt how to say that in French.

Now that's a non-sequitur if ever I saw one.

alors mince!

So she has been relying on photographs of herself to see what she looks like rather than just looking in a mirror?

I think you misunderstand the concept of mistaken body image. I'm sure if I tried hard enough I could find some evidence of a middle-aged man who's a regular on this forum demonstrating an understanding that just because you think you're one body shape doesn't mean you are....

Although, as @jefmcg has convincingly demonstrated, my suggestion that she might have a false self-image isn't right!

You could always read the link in the OP, which sets out the issues pretty clearly....

Despite doing that I still don't have a view.

I know everyone worth knowing. Anyone who's anyone knows me.

I've never heard of her.

I have been trying to think of something worthy to contribute but I got nuffink.

Doesn't stop Markymark though.

 

[vernon]

Who did you say Lena Dunham was again?

Dunno but here's a picture of Lene Lovitch to look at.

I've never doubted the worth of my posts!
