You know that things have changed around here when Steve McQueen is referred to as a notorious dirtbag by a member of the editorial staff.

being a model and getting consistent gigs, is in fact, a career. Taking away those opportunities lessens their ability to engage in said career.

I’d think Alanis would have included something in her story where grid girls were being underpaid/overworked/sexually assaulted, anything with substance other than, OMG I’m so outraged bc reasons.

But is the solution the problem to say “no, you can’t be a cheerleader anymore, because you will be objectified by men”, instead of fixing the system? I knew many of the cheerleaders in HS (I was a benchwarmer) and they really loved it. So I seriously ask, should we take it away from them, because they may be…

Whoa there fella. Can’t complain about that objectification. This is a former Gawker site. Remember these gems:

No one is saying they need to stay. They are pointing out that it is analogous to modeling and most of the women probably enjoy their job. Who are any of us to fire them for being, gasp, offended.

I nominate you to personally, face to face, fire all said cheerleaders and grid girls, bc, you think it’s offensive.

You’re offended? So what’s your point?

Way to look out for all the women out there doing gigs that they enjoy.

But what about all the women that enjoy cheerleading? We should fuck them over “in their best interest”?

How about you just fuk off already? Who the fuk are you to determine what “Motorsports, or any other sport’s” purpose is or is not? That’s a consumer choice. It’s always amusing how willing certain segments of the population are to jump at the chance to impose their beliefs and morality onto a broad group of…

I’m curious if you are also against cheerleaders in the NFL/NBA/ etc... Or models in general.

I failed to see any meaningful data in the article supporting the ban of grid girls.

I like the “drugged” part of the headline.

“...the CLS 53 4MATIC+ (which I have misspelled twice already)“ 

To me the phrase “first __ on the market” would mean the first one available for purchase, regardless of if it’s still made or not.

Yeah, and the Flex-Fuel hasn’t aged well, either...I imagine the people that bought those vehicles don’t feel too pretty now that ethanol’s through-the-roof, and almost impossible to find, to boot.

I’m not saying it was a great system, but only correcting the article that the Ram is not the first hybrid pick up truck ever sold by a major motor manufacturer in the USA. Via and Workhorse created some low volume production also, but GM was first even as they gave up on it after a few years because initially gas was…

The timing on that couldn’t have been worse. I think gas was like $0.25 a gallon and weren’t they still running 4ats? This system should work a lot better.

That sounds awesome. Play touchscreen airhockey against the guys in the backseat
