ATTENTION TOWNSPEOPLE: Hot Girls At Car Races – The Drama Continues.

You may recall some time ago that I wrote about some car shows ending the practice of having hot, scantily-clad chicks draped over the cars, and in that same post, I also mentioned that F1 had decided recently to end its practice of having “Grid Girls” – the hot chicks that basically stand around the cars and drivers and look hot in very skimpy outfits.

As I wrote, I haven’t been able to figure out where feminists stand on this issue, considering that a bunch of feminists are constantly trying to shove their lady parts into our collective faces all the time, but then a bunch of other feminists are constantly insisting that they don’t want to be objectified and hypersexualized.  In fact, sometimes those two groups of feminists intersect, and then it gets REALLY confusing, like when Ashley Judd complains about the hypersexualization of women and then wears dresses designed to show everyone her boobs.

Anyway, the fact remains that F1 decided to get rid of Grid Girls, and instead trot out a bunch of kids from local motorsports clubs instead.  Because, as you know,  kids are JUST AS ENTICING to men at racing events as hot chicks in hardly any clothing.

Incidentally, Grid Girls themselves are pissed off at all of the perpetually outraged killjoys who got rid of them.  One Grid Girl tweeted:

So the inevitable has happened, F1 gridgirls have been banned. Ridiculous that women who say they are “fighting for women’s rights” are saying what others should and shouldn’t do, stopping us from doing a job we love and are proud to do. PC gone mad 😡 #Gridgirls

If we don’t do something to stop this where will it end? No grid girls, no cheerleaders, female singers being told what to wear on stage, no models in magazines?! I’ll fight for my right to choose what I wear, where I work and to keep a job I love. I’ll #fightformyrighttochoose

You go, girl.

And now?  Russia is fighting back, and it’s kind of hilarious. According to the sourcelink, Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister, Dmitry Kozak, who oversees the Russian Grand Prix happening this September, wants the Grid Girls back.

“If we can reach an agreement we will revive this tradition. Moreover, our girls are the most beautiful,” he said.

No one is better at beautiful girls than Russia is.  Believe him.

And further, he had some stuff to say about the Grid Kids thing:

“It’s wrong at races to lead out children, who are frightened of mechanical things. You need grownups. In all kinds of motorsport, girls advertise the cars and it looks harmonious and pretty.”

The kids are scared of mechanical things, you guys.  You didn’t know that?

And it’s not just Russia.  According to this, Monaco isn’t having any of this Grid Girl banning crap either.  The Monaco Grand Prix’s president, Michel Boeri, said there WILL be Grid Girls on the starting line next month, despite what F1’s parent company, Liberty Media, said about it.

“We’ve had no problems with Liberty Media, except for the grid-girl issue,” said Boeri. “They’re pretty, and the cameras will be on them once again.”

“Our American friends assume that it could hurt the feminine feelings when employing young women to carry signs,” Boeri told Monaco-Matine, a local newspaper. “Our hostesses complete model and PR schools. They perform during the Grand Prix at events that are in line with their training. And they are paid for it.”

Hey now – don’t lump me in with the “American friends” thing – because I think banning Grid Girls is the dumbest thing ever.  LONG LIVE GRID GIRLS, I say.

“The [grid girls] look pretty and are part of the Formula 1 landscape,” Boeri said. “Why in the world should I stop 30 girls from earning a living?”

Exactly.  Their bodies, their choice, amirite?
