the Other Press’ Opinion Poll
Last week's poll question was HAIR or BARE in the nether regions (because it’s all about thought-provoking, important issues).
Op-Ed
The results?
the other pr
HAIR: 4 BARE: 4 A LITTLE OF EACH: 4
Now sit back, relax and take in the comments
Jesus, who the hell thinks up these questions? Do you mean “down there,” as
in “do I shave my toes?” Well, no. And do I want to pretend I’m having sex
with either a porn queen or a five-year-old? No. Like all these lily-white, mid-
dle-class white boys walking around in jailhouse chic with crotches down to
their knees (no belts allowed in jail, see?) talking like they just got out on
parole from Ryker’s Island, why is it that uptight, sexually-squeamish white
girls want to look and dress like they make a living taking it in the ass from a
stranger in front of a camera?
Bryan
Got to vote for hair. But, nicely trimmed. There is nothing worse than a thick
underbrush that you might find in a jungle. My current girlfriend is nicely
“manicured” to the point that she did a little “landscaping” on myself. She
likes the look and so do I. Can’t wait to see what important question you are
going to ask next week.
tT
Bare is sexay.
Davidoff
Bald as a billiard ball, thanks. Beware the itch when it starts to grow back.
Maddening!

For women I think a bit o bare and a bit o hair is attractive—like the little
triangle up top. Men should keep groomed, but NOT hairless—that’s just
too..fleshy.
fAL
Hair, definitely. ’'ve never understood the appeal of a woman shaving, maki
her appear pre-pubescent. That just seems sick to me!
Beverly
Hair. Why remove something nature gave you? Provides great protection
against cold, disease and hairphobic intruders...nice and cozy, like a fireplace
in winter.

I think it should be bare for women, BUT, I also think that if a woman kee
things Bare “down there” a guy should be groomed “down there” too!!! Not
neccessarily bare, but “groomed”...

Okay, clearly the poll questions are getting out of hand. It all started with the
Slurpee vs. Big Gulp poll by J.A.L., which garnered a record number of votes.
How could we possibly go back to questions like “who's responsible for the
tuition hikes?” (How many votes did that one get? Oh that’s right—ZERO.)
So, in keeping with the in-poor-taste, but seemingly popular theme, here’s
your question for next week:
