Do you like Rebecca Adlington?

Rebecca Adlington done her best not to let Frankie Boyle get one over on her and good on her.

Why is he so intent on making fun of people like that?

She may not be the "sexiest woman alive" but I think she is quite cute and I'd certainly date her. Anyone agree?

    I think she's a great athlete and a good role model for kids.

    Do I like her? She annoys me a bit in interviews, but I don't know her and maybe she's just not good in front of a camera.

    This.

    Why does anybody feel the need to comment on somebody else's appearance?

    Anyone here work for Heat, Closer, Star magazine who can answer?

    Boyle just isn't funny. His writing's weak. I'd care less about his targets if he hit the spot in a vaguely accurate way but it's not good enough tbh. Just slack.. :(

    Nice body, but she is simply not attractive.

    But what's the point in pointing out her attractiveness, or lack of?

    She seems a decent enough person. The Frankie Boyle thing is him trolling and nothing more.

    'Do you like her' is actually very vague as it could mean many things such as like her as a person, find her attractive ect,

    Is it? Do I like how she looks? I have absolutely no opinion on how she looks apart from, she looks fine to me.

    Do I like her? (which is what the thread asked). I expect she's alright. Maybe not. I hope she is.

    well then why is the thread title totally different to the post - it talks about her being attractive and Boyle making fun of her looks.

    You took it upon yourself to challenge a poster based on him talking about what the OP was talking about!

    And that's what i responded to.

    Also if you have no opinon why are you commenting?

    What do you mean I have no opinion? I just gave an opinion!

    And on my thread line, the thread is called 'Do you like Rebecca Adlington'? Again.. I gave my opinion? I answered the question. Yes, I think she's alright and I don't think appearance should count for a like or dislike of a person?

    Why am I being 'flamed' for my comment?

    She seems a very nice person, and that is all that matters to me.

    He said she only swam as well as she did, because she had the face of a dolphin.

    That's not a direct quote, but an overview of the basics.

    Just seems a bit rude to me, even if it is funny. Or not.

    Eh, it's Frankie Boyle, did anyone expect anything different?

    Besides I've heard worse comments. He's just trolling. Was it rude? Yeah, but then again, it is Frankie Boyle.

    If he said that he's a knob.

    She's a nice lass and a bloody good swimmer. She's an athlete not a model.

    Didn't know who was so had a wee look. He's no beaut himself.

    Yea I agree.

    Frankie Boyle got famous off of controversy. Yes, imo, it is sometimes funny. But only when the joke is good. Not the subject of said joke.

    In the context of Boyles the Last Days of Sodom show, in which Terry Pratchett is mocked for having Alzheimer's disease and Simon Weston is mocked for not having a face, saying Becky Adlington has a dolphin face is a 1 outta 10 on the offensive scale. Really.

    I like Boyle, though I do think he'd be better with more variety, his live show is just a tsunami of rape n' pedophile jokes now.

    I have no real opinion on Adlington.

    Honestly, I do find Boyle funny normally. I paid to see him live in 2009. He was hilarious.

    I also spoke to him 2 years ago at Edinburgh fringe and just found him a bit snappy and pissed off with attention.

    I don't find grumpy, funny. He got grumpy.

    I think Boyle just sees it as a game, a way of making more money. And I see little point getting offended over that.

    If I had to guess I'd say he really hates Jordan though, based off his current show. ;)

    I think she is horrible looking and before you all attack me for this it is my opinion, just like the one's that call her 'beautiful'.
