After closing the gym last night, Katie and I went out with our friends J and K (no Men in Black jokes, thank you; just trying to maintain some semblance of anonymity here) to eat at a place called McNally's in St. Charles and we followed that up listening to some live blues music at Chord on Blues also in St. Charles.
We were talking about anything and everything at McNally's -- sports, politics, video games, family, friends, getting drunk. Typical barroom banter.
Then J told me that he and K (oh yeah, to clarify, J is male and K is female, husband and wife) were listening to sports radio the other day and the DJs recited some statistic about how 57% of women polled said they would cheat on their male significant other for a chance to "be with" Angelina Jolie.
57%... women... with... Angelina Jolie.
Woah.
That's when K chimed in saying that she would, too.
Again... woah.
J said he'd let her. So long as he could watch, videotape, etc. I think that's the typical male response to something like that.
That would be my response if Katie said that.
Of course Katie, not being much of a Jolie-camp supporter, said she would be part of the 43% minority. But if Jennifer Aniston were to make the offer... just kidding.
Oh yeah, according to the poll, Britney Spears came in second at 23% (that's just sick and wrong, ladies; have you no taste?), 12% with Paris Hilton, and a mere 4% with Beyonce (only 4?!?!).
Aside from the actual results of the survey and the reponses by our respective female counterparts, the one thing that makes me curious regarding this whole thing is... who thinks up these things? Is there actually a job title for these people and they get paid for it? "Lesbian Love Survey Coordinator" or some such? And after thinking up a question such as this, who actually has the cojones enough to go out and ask random women their opinion regarding it? Are women that open to suggestion anymore that you can just walk up to them randomly and ask, "would you sleep with Angelina Jolie given the chance?" without risk of bodily harm, permanent or otherwise?
Okay, yes, these were current college students that were polled, and the survey was conducted by Playboy magazine, but I still think it would take some cojones de piedra to ask the question.
I don't want to be the one to find out.
