Talk:Jessica Rabbit (disambiguation)

Untitled

Jessica is considered by some to be the world's sexiest cartoon character since Tex Avery's "Red Hot Riding Hood".

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jessica_Rabbit"

The above sentence is potentially weasely as it does not cite sources or specify who 'some' are supposed to be.

Would someone knowledgeable be able to clarify? does 'Some' refer to her fans? to fans of 'Who framed Roger Rabbit'? to an internet poll?

The line should be removed, it's obviously POV. She was obviously drawn to be sexy, but until we get a panel of experts on this, the line's gone.--Agent Aquamarine 00:51, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Response

I'd like to know that too. Who wrote the article, anyway? They forgot about The Little Mermaid when mentioning the sexiest cartoons. Nevertheless and notwithstanding, where I come from, a lot of men kept in their gem collection stickers featuring Jessica. I mean, some of them probably don't even know her name (That's probably due to the fact that the poeple who make those stickers don't even bother to keep Jessica's original colors), but if you ask them, they would answer without hesitation "She is the sexiest cartoon ever". Back to the article, "Some" is most likely to be an euphemism for "the author of this [Jessica Rabbit's] article". --Plavalagunanbanshee 15:35, 15 September 2005 (UTC) (Look at the post I made at T-x discussion!) Hey, I recently discovered a lot of truck drivers have Jessica (as a sticker, of course) pasted on the windows of their trucks. Turns out, Jessica is as traditional as that commonly seen image of Calvin (from Calvin and Hobbes) peeing (we don't actually see his penis, we see him from the back :P). Anyway, the Jessica in the stickers is not the same as the one in the movie. For the sake of those nasty truck drives, her secondary sex characteristics have been exaggerated (her boobs are way bigger), and also she's never drawn correctly (the perverts who draw her probably have no artistic training); the Jessica depicted in the article is not the one from the movie, it's the truck version. The colors are also big giveaways: The true Jessica wears purple gloves. I found another disturbing article on poor Jessica. [1]!

Article tone

Is it just me, or do most of the sections in this article seem to be written as if they're an advertisement, and aren't neutral enough for Wikipedia's standards?60.240.207.206 13:36, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

how so? i just ran through this the other day, didn't notice it. Bouncehoper 04:36, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

question about "frankenstein"

Ok, I can understand why that pargraph (Jessica is the Frankenstein of all these different actresses) might be considered POV, but if I remember correctly, there is in fact some truth to the statement--that the animators set out to pick the best features from old-time actresses to make one bombshell. Will sniff and see if I can find it--does this sound familiar to anyone else? Bouncehoper 04:50, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Melyssa Ford

Melyssa Ford should not be mentioned on this page. The two are not equivalent, and when people come here looking for one of the most famous cartoon characters in the last 20 years, they don't expect to be brought to a redirect page for a relatively unknown model/actress for whom the nickname is not even well-attributed. The two are nowhere near equivalent. Do a Google Image search for "Jessica Rabbit". See how many hits of Melyssa Ford come up. (A maximum of 2%.) Using the standard Google language settings, there are ~800,000 Google page hits for "Jessica Rabbit" [2]. There are no more than 775 "real" Google hits for "Jessica Rabbit" "Melyssa Ford". [3]. Most of those hits are false positives.

This page should be an immediate redirect to the character Jessica Rabbit with a redirect message upon arrival (as I've already set up at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Who_Framed_Roger_Rabbit_characters#Jessica_Rabbit). This shouldn't even be a matter of debate. Bueller 007 (talk) 00:49, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Obviously, whether somebody is known or unknown depends on the circles one travels in. I would say that being the subject of a profile in The New York Times indicates that Melyssa Ford is hardly "relatively unknown".

What shouldn't be a matter of debate is being truthful in writing edit summaries. You wrote that searching for the terms "Jessica Rabbit" "Melyssa Ford" produced 3,000 Google hits, which is off by a factor of 5.

I don't mind changing this page into a redirect, but I object to your lying about the reason. — Malik Shabazz (talk · contribs) 02:55, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

I object to you calling me a liar. As a person even slightly familiar with the Internet should know, Google page hits vary depending on the language settings. Set yours to English, French and Japanese exclusively and let me know how you fare. Incidentally, the results I got were a maximum of 3000 "Jessica Rabbit" AND "Melyssa Ford" and 100000 for "Jessica Rabbit". That's 3%. If you use Google's standard language settings as you did you get ~16000 hits for "Jessica Rabbit" AND "Melyssa Ford", but you also get 800000 hits for "Jessica Rabbit". (Strange how you neglected to mention that part...) That's 2%. And as I've already pointed out above, most of those hits are fake. There are only 780 real hits for "Jessica Rabbit" AND "Melyssa Ford", and most of those are false positives. Bueller 007 (talk) 18:41, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

DMB page

This is needed as a DMB page since it is a three-way disambiguation. There is no reason to lose the link to the vibrator and make it harder for readers to find the page. TerriersFan (talk) 15:02, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
