    Victoria's Secret: Nobody Home!

    Victoria Jackson?

    Jackson's SNL persona was that of the quintessential, stereotypic Dumb Blonde-- vaguely sweet, permanently mildly dazed, and clueless.

    Pretty much a retread of the territory covered by the young Goldie Hawn, without as much appeal (YMMV).

    I don't recall Jackson showing much range; intellect and depth of character weren't even on the radar.

    It's no surprise to learn that this wasn't simply shtick-- it was Victoria simply Being Herself. The operative term is "simply".

    Has it been verified that she actually writes this dreck? It's not obvious that she even can read and write-- possibly she dictates to an intern.

    I shudder to think that her views would impress and influence her fan, provided that he, she, or it is still among the living.
