Load HEAT- Vanessa the Intern

We’re not quite the Civil War buff that Craig is, but we do find it, and museums about it, interesting.  Especially when they have a cute redhead intern to display the artifacts.

We’re not quite the Civil War buff that Craig is, but we do find it, and museums about it, interesting.  Especially when they have a cute redhead intern to display the artifacts.

The Gettysburg Museum of History is a private museum, which you may have seen featured on American Pickers. If you “like” them on Facebook, you can peruse hundreds of pictures of some really interesting artifacts, both Civil War and from other periods. And most of them feature Vanessa.

This will also serve as a firearms recognition quiz.

    Intern in name only, I’m sure. The museum is fine, but it just goes to show, image is everything. I’d love to see credentials, but seems there are none to be found. Not the kind of museum I’d want accessioning my collection.

    This museum is a privately funded museum so it does not qualify for membership in “The American Association of Museums”. A museum does not have to have this “credential” to be a great attraction. Just because a museum does not take in your tax money or grants does not make it any less a great museum. To qualify for their organization a museum must be a 5013-c “not for profit” and pay that organization membership fee money. Is this really “credentials” or just another way of getting money from a museum?

    Everyone who goes on about Vanessa is either old, a pervert, or both. It’s kinda sad. I kmow this because i have visited the museum’s facebook page for years and i know half the people who post there regularly who go on and on about Vanessa like only a nerdy virginal high-schooler could. I’ll say it again – SAD.

    No, i won’t. I know EXACTLY what kinda fun you were having with it, and don’t try and deny it. I know what you were thinking because everybody who talks about her has the same childish mentality. And i KNOW this because of the countless comments i have read over the years over at the FB page. They all vary in the amount of misogyny, pervertedness, etc exuded, but they all share a common traits.

    Why can’t you just man up and say that you want her to handle your c**k instead of hiding behind childish euphemisms? You’re not fooling anyone apart from yourself.

    Rob, not one person here has said anything demeaning about Vanessa. Whatever you may have seen at the Facebook page, that’s their problem. Take your outrage there.
    Is Vanessa cute? Sure? Is she qualified to do anything beyond pose with artifacts? I have no idea. She may be, or she may not. And I don’t care. But there’s no harm in acknowledging she’s pretty. I don’t think she’d take great offense at that. Certainly, she seems to have taken less than you!

    You’re quick to assume a level of superiority for which there is little or no evidence.

It is my opinion and opinions are never stupid – just different. Got that? What makes you “rednecks” look stupid and childish is how you clearly don’t understand that and you just keep resorting to name-calling without anything to back up your accusations. You just get defensive because deep down you know I’M RIGHT. You’re perverted and you know it. Just admit it and i’ll shut up.

    Oh, honey. Of course there are such things as stupid opinions. Most of us grow out of that mush-mouthed intellectual relativism when we hit double digits.

    Why do you laugh over NASCAR? I mean, it’s not my cup of tea, but it’s a better way to spend a couple of hours than reading Nietzsche. Or is it your position that holding the opinion that NASCAR is enjoyable is laughable, or, dare I say it, stupid?

    To the meat of your “argument”, we’re not objectifying Vanessa, we’re objectifying pictures of Vanessa. I fail to see what is objectionable in objectifying objects. The pictures were freely taken, and she’s an attractive young woman. How is noting that fact any different than expressing appreciation for the Mona Lisa?

    Finally, we resort to insult in dealing with you because that is the only way interacting with you has any value. It’s patently obvious that you simply don’t have the intellectual chops to swim in this pond, so we’re going to knock you around a little until you become tiresome.

    See above where XBrad says don’t paint us with the same brush as the Facebook people. She’s the one holding the guns – no one is holding a gun to her head to pose for pictures, and these gentlemen can appreciate a pretty, shapely redhead. Most of the men here have honorably served or are serving right now, and they like seeing something of America worth fighting for.

    Just curious, were you as defensive for Sarah Palin?

    You’re not a regular here. No, we don’t know you, but we know that you splattered your attitude all over this post. Load HEAT is a regular feature here every Monday with a dozen or more photos of some beautiful woman. I don’t see any difference between Load HEAT, Betty Grable posters, Kirchner postcards, and Vargas-inspired nose art.

    A) you still haven’t sufficiently proven how i am an “idiot” just because you don’t like ONE THING that i had to say. Have i not spoken eloquently? Have i not shown a good vocabulary? EXACTLY. Watch who you call an idiot when you don’t know anything about me. I could have more degrees or a better job or a higher IQ – whatever. The fact is YOU JUST DON’T KNOW. You’re just an internet bully hiding behind his screen.

    B) Being married or heterosexual means nothing, it doesn’t stop a man from having a leary eye. What, you think just because somebody gets married then they are no longer attracted to other women? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I am also married to a woman but i just have more respect for them than to objectify them.
