Our post on Sunday about Gail Trimble being judged on her looks and criticised for being clever has chalked up huge traffic. Most of this is due to google searches, and the terms people used that brought them to this site. The results offer a pithier snapshot of opinion on Trimble and once again focus on the negative and on her appearance.
The list:
“gail trimble sexy”
“gail trimble bitch” (a lot of this)
“gail trimble naked”
“gail trimble smug bitch”
“gail trimble very sexy with a gorgeous smile”
“fuck Trimble” (this could be someone who doesn’t like the former First Minister of Northern Ireland, but I’m guessing not, given the timing)
“gail trimble crappy”

lol! Oh my, what a collection of search terms. I dread to look at my own stats.
I’m guessing that the “Gail Trimble nuts” one relates to a comment I got on my own blog where a guy said that a “lads mag” called Nuts (I presume it exists, not very good with pop culture) has asked her to do a photoshoot.
Sadly, Gamma G, this is true. Apparently they contacted her brother via Facebook, and he was (understandably) kind of appalled. Nuts is a magazine for people who think Maxim is too intellectually stimulating and whose only sexual relationship is with their own right hand. And the sticky collection of magazines under their beds where their mummies won’t find them.
Also, don’t forget the plain old “I hate gail trimble”. Quite a few of them. Poor old Gail, you’d have to have a very thick skin not to be freaked out by this craziness.
Gamma, that is so bizarre on so many levels.
Penny, that should be in there, but I suspect a rogue ‘I’ has gone AWOL in the manner of some Hollywood Action film to avenge such bad stuff somewhere, will fix it now.
I missed the “Gail Trimble naked” one the first time around. That’s hilarious! Some people are so optimistic about their Google searches “Let me just type this in here and see what happens… sure you never know!” lol Or maybe they’re adamant that the internet is really a magical device for all their dreams and wishes: “Look, I typed in Paris Hilton naked the last time and the internet provided… it can work again this time I tell you!”
I typed gail trimble bitch after reading the daily mail article, hoping to uncover some irrational tirades against her from jealous women.

I had a look at mine. Most were very innocent. Down at the bottom I did get one though: “gail trimble” tits. Well thats what it always boils down to I guess :-\
Oh come on, what’s wrong with ‘sexy’? personally, I found the way she demolished the opposition to be extremely sexy, whatever her appearance (which I think’s quite sexy too.)
You are Nigel Tufnel and I claim my five pounds.
