Is there validity when people say blondes are dumb?

    I think it has less to do with the pigment of their hair and more to do with good looks not necessarily requiring intelligence to get ahead in the world. Half the "dumb blondes" out their are natural brunettes..

    actualy it is more like 95-99% of the "blondes" out there.

    Natural blondes, at least in the USA, are little more than 1% of the population.

    In some countries, like Scandinavia or Germany, it may jump to around 3-5%

    But, worldwide, the average is more like 1%.

    now here's an idea. blondes, true or bleached, stop playing the dumb blonde role, so the rest of us aren't categorized as such..

    It's seriously that low?.. I feel like a minority then. I know plenty of natural blonde people. I'd argue that figure has to be more like 10-20% for caucasion. That number can't be right. Of course, there's so many types of blonde. My hair is a darker, reder blonde.

    he had a voice that was strong and loud and
    i swallowed his facade cos i'm so
    eager to identify with
    someone above the crowd
    someone who seemed to feel the same
    someone prepared to lead the way

    Based on the few conversations I've had with her, I agree completely. :)

    I'd say it sums up the fact that some people are stupid, or at least, don't react well under pressure. It says nothing about blondes.

    :) Thanks! Glad someone else saw it.

    Never mind that she's on TV with millions of viewers all around the world watching her and being scrutinized plus it was a dumb question anyway.

    Stage fright sucks big time! And that's a pretty bad case of it right there I reckon and could just as easily have happened to a purple person with orange hair. :D
    NOPE!!!

    Really, if you're purple, with orange hair, you're gonna be a little bit self-conscious whether you're on-stage or not. :p

    Maybe not! :D You might be really proud of how you look. Self image and actual image rarely seem to have anything in common! :D
