Gee, what a surprise. From a magazine that encourages a stereotypical frat-boy vision of masculinity, it's no wonder they can't imagine a woman being attractive intellectually, emotionally, or for some quality other than how good they'd be in the sack. Then again, if they knew that, say, Tina Fey would stoop to fulfill whatever dirty sex fantasy polishes their pole this week, I'm sure theyd be "all over that". Morons.

If they're going to put Jerri Blank on there, she should be at #1 because she's so horrifying on purpose. And Amy Sedaris is gorgeous when she's not in Blankface.

Considering how nasty the vast majority of Maxim's readers are (physically, emotionally, psychologically, in every possible level), who really cares what they think? We should at least be glad that people like them are in the very least literate. (unless, of course, they're only looking at the pretty pictures.)

tina fey?
come on. she's gorgeous. but again, she's not fake blonde, fake boobed and faked tanned, so she's not maxim material.
she's the type of chick for you if you're into the witty, intelligent and really cute behind the glasses type. and the chick who plays ugly better i believe (at least it looks like) america ferrara. she was gorgeous in real women have curves. anyone would be ugly as ugly betty.

Tina Fey might be a stretch, but I love the fact that she has been called out. Her Weekend Update is the the most overrated, consistently unfunny work since "Murphy Brown". Her wit and comic timing are sub-par at best. Even though she is easy on the eyes, she has been on a free ride for too long.

Thank you Akenaten and Nat! For once I don't have to go on a tangent.
Andrew Carlson, they didnt call her out based upon her talent. Although, if we were to talk about people having "free rides", I'd have to mention Adam Sandler. Also, female comics don't get free rides, especially when people like you only mnetion the female comics that you find untalented.

Tina Fey is the perfect example of style over substance; w/ her glasses and her yuppie demeanor, she gives the IMPRESSION of intelligence and wit, while being rather mediocre in actual abilities. People tend to fall for these images easily. Do you honestly think she could write for a really outrageous sketch show, like Chappelle's Show or something like that?

[*]o Big butt be gone and when she opens her mouth that says it all.
[*]itney Spears: You can take a girl out of the trailer but, you can't take the trailer out of the cow. At one time at least she had her looks and hot bod but couldn't carry a tune. She still can't carry a tune but can moo with the best of them in the pasture.
