I was on BBC Leeds today discussing this piece of ridiculousness from the Daily Mail. Apparently Nigella Lawson is TOO SEXY! Jan Moir is disgusted..."'Ah, I'm after the scent of the souk,' she cried later, like a madwoman peeling a fresh concubine"
Has Moir bothered to double-check the definition of a souk? It means market in an Arab or Berber city, like the one pictured. Which bit of that is supposed to be overpoweringly sexual? Moir explains further...
"'They infuse everything with a glorious sweetness,' she whispers, and rolls them around in the palm of her hand. Then she proceeds to chop them. For they are onions, of course. How shameless."
It's shameless to like onions now?
Or could it be that Ms Lawson represents a successful woman who is actually good at something (cooking and presenting rather smug TV shows about it), confident about her own sexuality and in control of her own image? Now that is disgusting, right?
Never mind that a few channels away NutsTV is running back-to-back shows with names like "Make Me A Glamour Model", "Sextastic Double Header"and "UK Uncovered with Nuts Babe Search". And of course the Daily Mail itself is simultaneously running photo-heavy articles like this one "Small Wonders: Luxurious Underwear to Warm the Cold Nights", "Nicola McLean's Famous Assets Get Covered in Snow" and "Rihanna Narrowly Avoids Wardrobe Malfunction as She Performs in Yet Another Barely-There Outfit"
But no, of course, that dreadful slapper Lawson is the problem.

Yes to those who messaged me - I was also on the Jeremy Vine show on BBC Radio Two about ten minutes later talking about the cocktail waitress who was fired/resigned (was fired I suspect) for refusing to wear a super-skimpy dress. I may blog later, depending on time.
You might want to put nofollow tags when you link to the Daily Mail (I think they're added automatically when people post links in comments, but not in the main post).
And what does a "nofollow tag" do?
It supposedly stops Google (and others) from increasing the 'weight' of the link you're aiming at, thus preventing it from gaining a better rank.
