As surprising as that is, on one poll it's true. AmIAnnoying.com is
the site where you can vote on whether certain celebrities are
annoying. Alex is among the thousands of celebrities on the site and
unfortunately her annoyance rating is quite high. As I type this,
Ms. Queen of Annoyance, aka Hilary Duff, has received votes with
a whopping 70.04% declaring her annoying. Sadly, Alex currently has
270 with 194 stating that she's annoying. That's 71.85%! Alex,
according to this site, is the most annoying female sportscaster!
That's awful! She even behind Jillian Barberie (who's had over 10,000
votes)! What the hell is going on here?! To put things in
perspective, uber-dork Summer "Regardless of whether I wore pants or
a skirt, my panties were visible in nearly every episode of Figure It
Out" Sanders has only 65.58% of her votes for annoying. Alex is more
annoying than a dorky ex-swimmer who was not smart enough to invest
in a belt or to cross her legs? Gimme a break. While the
Commissioner for Nick GAS--the Games and Sports Channel--Summer did a
commercial where she said, "Do you have gas? Because I certainly do
have a lot of gas! Nick GAS, that is!". Come on, Summer should be at
100% on the annoying scale, not six percentage points ahead of
Alex.
To vote for Alex, go to the site and type her last name into the box
marked "Search Celebrities" near the top left of the screen. After
clicking on her name (she's the only "Flanagan" listed) help out her
cause by voting in her favor. The information provided about lovely
Alex is as follows on AmIAnnoying.com :
The Resume:
(circa 1970- )
ESPN college football sideline reporter
Fox Sports reporter
Why she might be annoying:
She appears to have her questions told to her rather than thinking
them up herself.
She has a grating voice.
She has a boy's name.
Why she might not be annoying:
Her husband, Kevin Flanagan, played college basketball for the
Arizona Wildcats.
That's it? That's why she might not be annoying because she married a
guy who played college basketball? C'mon! The picture of Alex
leaves much to be desired and if any of you have any nice pictures of
her you might want to email the owners so at least her picture will
be better. You can also see her yearly "progression", or lack there
of, on this page. In 2002, 54.89% thought she was annoying while in
2003, 69.24% believe she is. Obviously this is her lowest point to
date and under "Featured in the following Annoying Collections" click
on "Female Sportscasters" to see that Alex is sadly pulling up the
rear.
Vote often until this percentage is at least low enough to not make
Alex blush. This site does not make our girl look good at all and
the current results would surely embarrass her. HELP!
