    "I am not amused" thinks the campaign girl... meanwhile the dude looks like quite the perv trying to spray her.

    This picture has just revealed to me the true horror of our financial condition. This is the Japanese Grand Prix, and the winner id awarded a bottle of Freixenet - which is the Champagne equivalent of malt liquor. If you chill it enough that you can't taste it, it's adequate at a poor person's wedding.

    Don't get me wrong, I've always viewed the squirting out of Cordon Rouge or whatever as the most appalling waste, but I'd never have thought a rich man's sport like motor racing would feel the need to cut corners in such a way.

    Ole Casey, the mischievous prankster, and is that not a naughty gleam in his eye? Beats being the big crybaby he was all last year. And what's wrong with malt liquor ?

    "visit SPAIN"

    I would, if I could get the time off, plus if I could get someone to pay for it. Cheap hotels would suffice...

    Well Done Casey Stoner! Good to see him - and Mark Webber in F1 - on the top podium...where the Aussies belong! As for the Race Queen - she's loving it, make no mistake about that!

    Yes, the attendant has that look in her eyes that says she wants more!

    Nice photo!

    This is probably not one of the better photos of the attendant.

    I disagree. This is prolly as good as she gets.

    With a couple of downed bottles of Freixenet, I'm sure she'd look absolutely stunning, though!

    This is probably not one of the better photos of the attendant.

    Where can I find the better ones?

    By the way, great stuff between Rossi and Lorenzo for third place. Say what you want about the sport, but at the top level there are no frauds or fakers.

    "How rude!".

    Takshi89, I agree. Bemused. That is a grimace on her face, not a smile.

    regulated smile took away some charm, but quite acceptable :)

    Yes, Dewaashita, she's walking away and clearly trying to be polite. I tell you, some gaijin don't have any respect for Japanese people and Japanese culture.

    I would say she is not amused but has to put on a brave face until she can get off stage.

    @Takshi89, what a dumb comment. I hope you're attempting some kind of parody, but next time don't.

    Smartacus, you are exactly right. I think it was really rude to spray her. Spray the crowd. I would not have done this to as a visiting foriegner.....in fact I would not have done this at all.

    She really handled herself very well and I am sorry she had to be endure this needless embarassment.

    And she is stunning beautiful too.
