			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There&#8217;s a great <a href="http://www.ew.com/ew/article/0,,20271389,00.html" target="_blank">profile of Anna Faris</a> in this week&#8217;s <em>Entertainment Weekly</em>. There&#8217;s a lot in there about the double standards for men and women in comedy.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;What is that all about?&#8221; Faris wonders. &#8221;Is it that funny women are scary?&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Seth Rogen (ah, Seth!) has a quote about what he can get away with as a male comic versus what women can do:</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8221;I can be in movies smoking weed and dating high school girls and shooting people with machine guns and the studio doesn&#8217;t bat an eye. But as soon as a girl does something remotely unlikable, they say, &#8216;We don&#8217;t want a b****y girl in the movie! No one wants to watch a b***h!&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Personally, I&#8217;m afraid it&#8217;s as much about attitude as looks. Good comics often look really goofy, ugly even. And Hollywood doesn&#8217;t like an ugly girl. What do you think?</p>
