Considering that every person is going to have different views on terminology and even the finer nuances thereof (asterix vs no asterix), I don't think it is ever going to be possible to reach a consensus on what is the "correct" terminology people should be using.

woops, sorry!!! I'm feeling pretty under the weather today so must have had a brain freeze!
Hmm. I'm not sure that I can agree that the UK doesn't use non conventionally attractive women on our TV shows - if anything, I would say that the UK has WAY more diversity on popular tv shows than US counterparts.
