We all have days when we feel like this. Of course, social mores, danger of being fired, etc., prevent most of us from simply speaking our minds…or, perhaps more appropriately, our guts….

Mr. Walken, you’re my hero.

A poem, by Stinkfinger–

Who on Earth is Johnny Wallshitta?
Wouldn’t you be surprised if he drives a Barchetta?
Sojourns on a yacht christened “Countess Contessa?
A doctor, a lawyer, a graybeard professor?
Known only to his Father Confessor;
And among  his familiars none the lesser,
For dropping his drawers and making a mess there.

Hey look!!!  It’s Before-After Britney!!!  Huzzah!!!!!

I’ve never been one to hearken to memes/fads/trends, especially not when they’re trying to sell me something. Millions of others, of course, don’t share this aversion, which explains the proliferation of advertising beyond any rhyme or reason.

Lately in the advertising spotlight is “Flo,” the persona of comedien/actor Stephanie Courtney as the 60s throwback spokeswoman for the Progressive Insurance Company. As such she joins the Geico Cavemen, that annoying little Gecko with the cheesy  Brit accent, et al, in the dubious distinction of “premiere” product spokespersons.

The product itself aside, Flo herself has captured the attention of the male of the species in particular, a phenomenon addressed in the following article from two years ago, “The Strange Allure of the Progressive Insurance Girl” (her popularity has not waned since that time). The article indulges in various theories without reaching any definite conclusions, but Stephanie  herself seems to be rather bemused by it all, stating, “The way I play her, she’s pretty much the most asexual thing on TV right now. I think the Geico lizard puts out more sexual vibes than Flo does….”

Briefly perusing Internet discussion boards and reviewing the image banks of Google, it is clear that there is a sexual component to “Flo” in the minds of the unwashed masses of cyber-surfing men (as should be apparent from reviewing the images I include here).

So, I put the question to you – Flo, the Progressive Spokesperson: Hawt, or Not?

A couple days ago, Fat introduced The Fist to the latest pernicious internet meme.

Since then, I’ve found a few uses and spoofs of it.  Check after the jump for two more.
