Do reckon that it could be simply a matter of specialisation for the funny faces? Assuming the artical wasn't 100% bullshit that is. Could it be the mega-masculine chisel-jawed manly men don't really need to be funny? They get the girls (or boys), they're on the fottball team at school, lots of attention just becuase of physical attributes. Could the Ricky Gervaises of the world, the 'fat, girl-faced' (as he calls himself) men have developed a good sense of humour as an attention-grabbing device. Yes, Mr X may have a face like superman and a massive cock, but Mr Y will make you laugh till you piss yourself. Who gets the girlslashboy? I think you get the same with geeky kids too, they're usually the people that don't have the physical luck of the handsome people, so their energies go into other areas like brains or personality or a disgustingly huge comics collection. |
