Victoria Pendleton
Cycle Sprint Gold medallist in the Beijing Olympic games the other day.
Also an amazing example of how the media can take a relatively attractive, normal human being and through a series of Eddie Bernays esque marketing ploys, some heavy studio photography sessions and the latest copy of photoshop, and turn them into an unobtainable sex symbol. So now instead of congratulating this olympian on her ability as an athlete we can simply marvel at the shape of body and the symmetricality of her facial features.
