Thumbs down No, I won't get the Danica fever

She can drive a "stock" car fast, so what. Can she do this with a cell phone held up to her left ear like all the other women in this country? To me she has zero sex appeal. However she and her agent are very smart to exploit the Nascar marketing universe while they can. In the press they have called her a former Indycar Star? Did I miss something, did she actually win the Indy 500 or the IRL series Championship? Look at her record on road courses in IRL, it is quite bleak.

There is no big money in IRL so she went where the cash is ala Jerry McGuire. In my opinion she does not have F1 level ability or international sex appeal. Now if she looked like one of Flavio's old supermodel girlfriends and could drive very fast I might become a fan. With apologies to the BB writers I am sick of hearing about her everyday of the week; Danica, Danica, Danica.

This is a good example of what is wrong in our short attention span / electronic linked society. It is no longer about results it is all about the social buzz you can generate on TV and on the web. DP
