ELLE HEARTS NOAM

Lingerie magnate and former model Elle Macpherson described on Ten news last night the type of sophisticated, intellectual woman who might purchase her latest underwear range:

She reads Noam Chomsky ...

It’s not often you hear Noam’s name on evening news broadcasts, especially emerging from the mouth of an attractive millionairess selling g-strings. Turns out the curvaceous capitalist has powerful feelings for Noam; possibly this will compel her to return all the money she earned working for evil US corporations.

  2. Yeah, right.  She reads Chomsky waiting for her next walk down the runway; literally wearing the western excesses that Chomsky bloviates against.
    Who told her she’d look intelligent dropping that name?

  3. What is it about airport newsagents?  Their ‘non-fiction’ shelves are stacked full of Pilger/Moore/Chomsky 1000 page tomes. 

    Tried hard to find some Mark Steyn or Robert Spencer but nowhere to be seen.

  4. Maybe she does believe in the collapse of capitalism.  Maybe she thinks Pol Pot would be an ideal President of the US. Maybe she would be more comfortable in Stalinist Russia. Who knows? I mean after all Chomsky believes all these things but does feel compelled to live in Leningrad.

  7. I thnk our doctor must read Chomsky too.

    My wife took our sick son to the doctor yesterday. The room was uncomfortably hot. When my wife enquired about this, the doctor explained that he had turned the air conditioning off. ‘You know. Fossil fuels and all that.’

    Time to get a new doctor.

  10. I’ve said this before but it bears repeating. I’m a pretty intelligent fellow; my comments on this ‘blog not withstanding. I’ve got post-grad degrees, I test well, etc.

    I’ve made several good faith efforts to read and digest Chomsky and it can’t be done. The man makes no sense on a rational, political, or ethical plane.

    I compare Elle’s alleged appreciation for Noam to be like an art critic unknowingly praising a painting by a chimpanzee or an elephant with a brush held in its trunk.

    It’s a joke, Elle. Now come give Daddy a hug.

  12. Interviewer: So I hear you read Noam Chmsky, he happens to be one of my favourite authors.  Which is your favourite book?

    Elle: Oh it has to be Lord of The Rings.  I couldn’t finish it all so I just skimmed through it.  It was an edition with lots of wonderful pictures!

  15. Chomsky - the choice of poseurs everywhere.
    The man’s writing is so poor that he is indecipherable. Maybe that’s his appeal: you can read whatever you want into it.

    Posted by Merlin on 2007 01 23 at 06:46 PM • permalink

  16. This is far too harsh. In all fairness Noam Chomsky richly deserves the ‘Elle MacPherson Award for Services to Illiteracy’, in honour of Elle’s claim several years ago that she only read books she had written herself.

  20. I think most people who “read” Chomsky scan for the case studies and anecdotes he uses. They’re the only thing my canberra lefty friends seem to quote or know about his writings. None of his obtuse theorising ever gets a run. I think that gets skipped over pretty regularly.

    Posted by Francis H on 2007 01 23 at 07:18 PM • permalink

  21. To be fair, she isn’t actually claiming to read Chomsky - she’s just suggesting that people who read Chomsky are likely to wear her underwear.

    In other words, pretentious fools. I’m not surprised at all.

  22. Maybe she means that people who look like Chomsky will wear her underwear. Is that a threat?

  23. A sign of faux, wannabe intellectual is a liking of Noam Chomsky. No truly intelligent person can be duped by his rabid rhetoric but his conspiracies do hold sway over barely literate who have never read anti-american screeds before.

    It’s rather like people who have just been introduced to classical music liking Mozart. No complaint about Mozart or comparison between him and Chomsky, but he is light.

  27. I used to work at a place that designed and printed some of Ms. Macpherson’s calendars and such. I’ve seen the actual ‘session’ pictures before editing, and after.

    There’s something profound about fakery and deception here - and Chomsky - but I can’t quite make the connection.

  31. Although you’re probably right that Mozart’s most famous instrumental pieces (that newcomers tend to gravitate too) are light and easy, hence their popularity. Not necessarily representative of the rest of his work though, particularly the operas.

  34. To get back on topic. What is it about the left that they need these “intellectual” icons. It seems to go hand in hand with their cult of intelligence (or intelligence as they deem it). Notice how all labor leaders have their supposed levels of intelligence talked up from the word go. Not of course that there is anything wrong with being intelligent but it the left seems to emphasise some sort of raw gift rather than what is actually done with the intelligence. See how they worship Barry Jones (whose main claim to intellect was a circus-freak memory) who was probably the most ineffectual minister the Hawke government ever put up.

  35. Maybe, as Elle leaves the blush of youth behind, she’s considering a political career?

    I mean, she is “from the Shire” as the locals insist on referring to it. A good ol’ Cronulla girl through and through. Just like that other monument to intellect, Lara Bingle.

    Maybe Elle could run for parliament and of course, when elected, she could go about de-Anlocising ‘The Shire” as per Margo Kingston’s wishes. Maybe she could enlist help from her old man, (ex-Pres of The Sharks Rugby League Club) who I’m sure would agree ‘The Shire’ needs a good dose of being stuffed with fighting, feral Islamic imports from Lakemba.

    BTW -  Chomsky is all but unintelligible gibberish for anybody with an IQ less than 140 which I guess includes Elle.

  40. I confess I read one of Chomsky’s books - Imperial Ambitions. The publisher sent me a copy to review, and I felt obligated.
    Never again.
    Review here.

    My Conclusion:

    Anyway, there’s enough gems in here to make worthwhile reading for anyone interested in the US’s moral compass, and making sure that it doesn’t stray too far from its lofty ideals, as it has all too many times in the past. For those who believe the US is the “Great Satan”, it will no doubt re-affirm your belief, as it’s pure anti-US propaganda, the best kind, that which contains the germ of truth.

    But overall, to use the Australian vernacular, the gems are buried in a great fragrant pile of fresh steaming bullshit. Happy digging.

    I doubt I’ll be buying some of Elle’s new line. Would be nice to have the body for it though *sigh*.

  50. I reckon anyone with an IQ bigger than their hat size would find Chomsky’s work to be turgid, predictable, uninspired prolix, the product of serious self-loathing and miniscule ability. Chomsky fans tend to have IQs so low they have to be observed from a diving bell. So what if Elle’s a cretin? Nice gams, and she’s unlikely to enter public office or design a nuclear plant in the foreseeable future.

    BTW, Noam should probably stick to what he’s qualifed in, but I doubt he’s even a cunning linguist.

  51. You know how as kids we put Penthouse inside the newspaper when we were on the train so nobody knew we were perving?

    Well, it’s just possible Elle does the same. She buys a Chomsky book and a Jackie Collins blouse-ripper, puts the Chomsky cover on the potboiler and then everyone thinks she’s ‘intellectual’.

  52. #35 I thought that Elle was from Killara.  In fact, I am pretty certain of it.  That is the other side of Sydney from Sutherland Shire.  The area is described as ‘leafy northern suburbs’, usually expressed in a derogratory manner by the type that inhabits trendy innner city terrace houses and hang out in little coffee shops stocked with Noam Chomsky fiction moonlighting as critical analysis.

    No mate. Cronulla girl. From her bio:- “Elle was born March 29, 1964, in Cronulla Sydney, Australia. Nicknamed ‘The Body’, Elle MacPherson is a tall, shy, super model actress. Her real name was Eleanor Gow”.

    Futher info on the Gow family:-
    Elle’s dad, Cronulla Sharks millionaire CEO Peter Gow, last year was found guilty in court of headbutting a Sydney City fan. This year he assaulted a St George Illawarra fan, and Cronulla won! Won’t be long until he gets through the whole league. Possibly he’s jealous of Elle getting all the headlines.

    Peter got the flick! The fan he allegedly assaulted was former St. George and Australia player Barry Beath. Beath later said “It’s lucky someone restrained me because I might have killed the p…k.”.

    Yep, interesting family.
    Sister Mimi makes home made porn movies, Elle makes lots of moolah and the old man makes mayhem.

  78. Elle is probably sick and tired of guys trying to chat her up all the time.  She has dropped the Chomsky line purely as a way of putting guys off. 

    Heck, if I was in a pub and had a skinful and Elle walked in, I’d be hard pressed not to give her the old “Show us your tits” routine. 

    I wouldn’t do that now, as I realise that she’d have this pile of unread Chomsky books in her bag, and she’d use it to whack the crap out of me.  Even worse, she might then sit on me as I lay battered and half-concious on the floor, open up a book at random and start reading to me.

    Aaaaarrrggggggggghhhhhhhhhh!!!  The horror!  The horror!  I can feel my gibbering eyeballs rolling up into the back of my head at the thought of it.

    Even if you are sober enough to avoid the “show us your tits” introduction, imagine trying to chat her up and then having to listen to some theory about how Eskimo babies develop the linguistic ability to converse with harp seals.

    She is a lot smarter than you think.

  81. When Bill Clinton handed the American people the equivocation, “That depends on what the meaning of “is” is,” he synopsized Chomsky’s linguistic theories nicely. 

    It’s nice that Elle has the money to afford the luxury of her beliefs.  Of course, if the world lived by those theories, she wouldn’t have the money for any luxury whatsoever.

  86. #85 - Marilyn is looser than a wizard’s sleeve. I reckon she must have spent her formative years chewing dirt around Maralinga.

    I had a bloody good laugh at the ‘IQ and diving bell’ line but now you’ve topped it.

    John Howard needs to appoint you as our ambassador to the UN.

  90. I saw a recent photo (papparazi) of an unguarded ‘Elle Moment’ as she walked down a street in London.
    Frankly, Elle looked a bit like a middle aged bag lady. Hair awry, daggy threads, almost no make up. You can see why ‘supermodels’ or the mega vain are so choosy about their make up artists, hair stylists and photographers.

  91. How come Bartleweet isn’t in this thread?

  92. Bartleweet is out pinching bottles of plonk.

    He will return with a few new social policies after he has gurgled down a couple.

    #31 I couldn’t agree more—I love Bunny of Seville. “Come into my shop, let me cut your mop, so daintily.”

    Rossini, surely!

    Or Francis Rossi. (Get down, deeper down!)

  94. Perhaps mistaken identity - she really meant this guy:
    Nim was quick as a whip, yet he loved a good time. A prankster at heart, he played his jokes always with a dare: He’d wait by the garbage pail until he had my eye, then fling down its contents; he’d hide things I urgently needed; he’d gag in laughter on top of the refrigerator as I, below, frantically looked for what I thought I had misplaced: the pot, the spoon or even the entire ingredients of the night’s dinner!
    Must be reminiscent of those zany characters from her salad days of modelling.

    “I doubt he’s even a cunning linguist.”
    Habib, that strikes me as a very tougue-in-cheek comment.

  96. It takes tougue to Tango, as Marlon said to Maria.

  97. I have a rule, whenever anyone cites to Chomsky on anything besides linguistics (about which I know nothing, though even there I hear tell that his theories are in disfavor) I automatically discount them, by 100%.

  98. #93 Yes, you’re right, Albury; I was thinking of the Marriage of Figaro. And after Googling, yes, it was Rossini.

  99. When seated with their Elle’s round their ankles, they can put Noam’s works behind them?

  100. Elle and Noam got married.

    Elle:  “Noam, if you can get it up, when we have kids, imagine if they have your brains and my body, they’ll be superhuman”.

    Noam: : “Elle, what if they have your brains and my body?”.

    Elle : “yes, Noam, that’s what I’m saying…is this our first tiff?”

    Noam : *shoots himself*

    Noam, for the people’s sake, just go away, you pretentious twat.

  101. “She reads Noam Chomsky ...”

    If you limit your sales to people who actually read Chomsky…you’ll be out of business in a week.
