Announcing the Law Prof Hunk / Babe of the Year Contest
Inspired by Law TV's current contest to name the top 100 most influential law professors in the country, Jack Bog's Blog is proud to focus on what really matters to today's law students: the hunkitude/babe-itude of the people they have to sit in front of for 14 weeks at a time.
And so we hereby announce the first-ever Law Prof Hunk/Babe of the Year Contest. Our goal: to find the best-looking law professor in this great land of ours. Forget their socratic manner. Forget their publications. We're talking hella hunkalicious or hella babe-a-licious, period.

Hm...I think I'm happier NOT thinking of my professors as hunks or babes! They're like parents (or something). :)

You have finally fallen off the deep end of the pier.If Bob Packwood did this, you would be setting up the noose as we speak. A sexist,superficial,shallow,Larry Flintish contest run by an aging Dick Clark professor still searching for the meaning of life. Man, the NOW babes are going to come after you. This sounds like a contest run by Teddy Kennedy or Bill Clinton. I did not have sexual relations with that professor for her to get my vote.
Beauty's only skin deep, yea yea yea.

How about a second contest? The homeliest law professor male/female of the year? You might get a lot more nominations...
As my Mother once claimed, "beauty and brains don't go together Gordo, you're proof of that."

You're right. This is, in many ways, a crock. As are most "Top 100 This-and-That" popularity contests.
Which is my point.

Poor Gordo!

Yes I know, Shelley. Which brings up the question; how am I passing all of my law school classes? :)

Heh. My sister and I overlapped in college a year. A guy in my German class saw us together and later asked me if she was my sister. He said, "So you're the smart one, and she's the pretty one, right?"

Egads. As a group, law profs are the most physically unatractive and the least personable people I've ever encountererd. Smug, yes. Pompous, yes. Sometimes creepy, especially when solicitous towards young female students. But "babes" and "hunks." You either have a keen sense of satire, or you're a typically idiotic American.

The Greedy Associates webboard has had similar threads, threads that led to female professors' pictures being posted and incredibly obscene things being written about them. I really, really hope you don't post the "winners" of this contest. Young, attractive, female professors have a hard enough time being taken seriously--how nightmarish to find your face and name being posted on the website (of a fellow professor!) as a person who should be viewed as a sexual object. The Greedy Associates threads became very well known, so much so that when I mentioned the name of a professor at law school X to a student at that law school, the student's response was, "Oh yeah, did you hear that according to Greedy Associates she's the most f**kable prof?"
