Pneumatic Tube - The Anna Nicole Show: Simply Stupid or Public Suicide Watch?
by Matt Labash

After reading the scathing reviews of the unnatural disaster that is The Anna Nicole Show, the most baffling thing to me is that critics insist on referring to Anna Nicole Smith as an 'aging sex symbol.' To do so means that the former Playboy, Guess?, and Lane Bryant model was once a regular sex symbol. Looking at her now (she's only thirty-four), or even back in her prime, such as it was, it is hard to imagine her turning anyone's crank, unless one fancies obese truck-stop waitresses. Her eyelashes look like they were fashioned from car-wash bristles. Her imported 42DD breasts thrash about like two drunks in a street fight.
