The "please say something nice about Mao thread"

[Pikachuusb]

My boyfriend & I are huge fans of Mao's and have been since 2005(maybe before?). She is soo beautiful & light on the ice and she gets props from us for being soo etherial and still throwing out triple axels. We wish her the best of luck in anything she does

Something nice about Mao? Well, she makes a great toothbrush commercial.

EDIT : This was an interesting commercial. There were 5 apparently non-Japanese people singing in Japanese.

When she smiles at the end of a program, it is lovely. (:

For example, I don't appreciate Evan's skating, so I don't go into "WE HEART EVAN!" threads - its called having manners...

I have no idea why I found this part humorous but I did...

so glad to see you posting again KW!

What an adorable commercial! I can see why Mao is catnip to advertisers. And she's such a chameleon--she can look like a kid or a sophisticate. There's a quicksilver quality to her expressiveness, as there is to her skating. She's a fascinator, definitely, both off the ice and on. I hope we get to see her around in skating for a long time to come, preferably at or near the top of the podium.

This is interesting. What is Mao screaming about?

She's telling everyone to stop taking her picture (she has a zit).

Ha ha! I love this commericial--it's sooo cute! (And Mai is really beautiful!)

[princess9]

Really cute. I would never see this stuff without these posts. Very funny.

I don't know if this video has been already posted somewhere in GS. Mao is a bit shy in public but she is such a lovable and nice person, naturally.

The other world champion beside her in this video is the same as well.

Speaking of Daisuke and Mao, I found this the other day:

(They talk about Coach Tarasova --- It's hilarious! "Waterbed!") You must watch it! (:

Thanks. The zit looks like a blemish, like somebody put a little make-up on her cheek.

Well, if you are serious then that's really unfortunate because you don't get to decide threat value based on who you like - why pick fights when you can just ignore the thread. For example, I don't appreciate Evan's skating, so I don't go into "WE HEART EVAN!" threads - its called having manners... and since I've been here longer than you, I win.

I do get to decide "thread value" (please triple-check your posts, since you seem to still have errors), because "value" is subjective and I am able to make my own judgments. Why pick fights: Because it's fun? Because I feel like a fight was indirectly picked?

Lastly, the point of my post was completely lost on you. I think it's hilarious that a user who was here for less than one month (although technically even that is in question) is pointing at me and saying I don't like skaters other than YuNa and I don't like users who like or prefer other skaters; that I cannot spare a compliment or thread for Mao, etc. when the ludicrous fact is that Mao is my second-favourite ladies skater and over at the YNKF we have several posters who openly admit to liking Mao more than YuNa and they are welcome there. I don't snap at Olympia or Mathman or certain others who like or prefer Michelle and Mao over YuNa in their own way because they are able to express their love without some shadowy undertone against someone else.

I win.

[Mathman]

I win.

You may win on "thread value," but when it come to "threat value," I for one am more afraid of KW.
