Time to Objectify Women

I recently told a friend I was listening to innapropriate music to cheer me up. He told me if it cheers me up its not innappropriate. I never thought of things that way before.

Now, on to something completely unrelated - another convo excerpt, followed by a story:

Me: Will you see this movie with me? It has Kiera Knightley.
Friend: No. She has no tits.
Me: I know you're a tit man, but she was hot in the Last Duchess.

Friend grins, but does not answer.

Now for the story: After seeing the Last Duchess with this same friend, and having a similiar discussion with him abotu Kiera Knightley's breasts, I was giving a presentation about Georgian Era England to some students in school - or maybe even it was in class, with the professor there - I don't remember. These students were completely flummoxed and had no idea of what Georgian England was, so to spice things up, rather than giving dry historical facts, I decided to give them a pop-culture reference - "Come on, they just made a movie about it - you know, the movie about the Duchess of Devonshire, starring that hot actress with really small breasts!" The students were too shocked to answer - I think at this point the TA remembered the name of the movie, and I actually got an A on the presenation, which was about the objectification of African people in Georgian era cartoon porn.

It's one of those moments I would be embarrassed about if I didn't find it so amusing.
