It is the infantilizing of the woman that bothers me. The guy doesn't sound like a college cheerleader, with coy body language.
I actually get a bit nauseous when women do this, fakily. When it is genuine, at least if I perceive it to be genuine, I have no problem. It is the playing into that saccharine stereotype that gags me.

Is anybody else annoyed by the fake enthusiasm and "cutesy" of the woman?
That's the contrived bit. Contrived enthusiasm and energy, very common in these sorts of shows particularly when they have multiple presenters each of which need to have a "personality". I blame Top Gear :

@Velocity5
Thanks for clarifying your philosophy. Just to quote the Wiki page for "opportunity cost"quickly:
"Opportunity cost is the cost of any activity measured in terms of the value of the next best alternative forgone (that is not chosen)."
If people didn't care about opportunity cost, capitalism simply could not work. The problem you're describing is not that people don't care about opportunity cost, it's that different people value different things.
You seem to think economic productivity should be the only thing people value. And you're entitled to your opinion. But I think, as you noticed from the comments on this thread, that most people find that point of view to be repugnant--for what we think should be pretty obvious reasons.
One reason would be that such a viewpoint, if carried to its logical conclusion, would dismiss all arts, sports, and other leisurely pursuits as wastes of time. In your free time, if you're not working on ways of making yourself more productive, you're holding back the the economy/science. People are no longer people in such a world view, but are reduced merely to numbers representing their productivity. And in such a world what do we do with those who are unproductive (i.e. the disabled, the elderly, etc.)? If productivity is all you value then clearly such obstacles to progress should be eliminated. Or at the very least treated with the same derision you showed this cheerleader.
Are you starting to see why people responded so negatively to your comments?

@SDGundamX
The next time you see something that you wish society had, like vacuum-tube trains, or the cure that was needed for that loved one who died, remember that the reason we can't have them is the population doesn't care about opportunity cost.
The opportunity cost of living life for instinctual pleasure instead of productivity is that we cannot have the fruits of productivity (vacuum-tube trains).
Just to be clear: even though this cheerleader is unlikely to become a scientist, the higher her economic output is, the more she contributes to the ability of scientists to do their work.

Are you, or will you be, a parent? (User Poll by xxovercastxx)
>> ^ChaosEngine:
I'm in the same boat as @hpqp. I also really don't get IVF. If you really want a child and you can't conceive, why not adopt?
My wife and I did go through fertility treatments (and yes, that and a hefty dose of chance contributed to the outcome of triplets), but only hormone injections and IUI. However, we had decided that if it came down to trying IVF, we were going to adopt. That said, I can see why some might choose that route. We wanted a child who was ours biologically, and we decided how far we were willing to go for that outcome.

Damn Ted, I feel ya brother, what a wirlwinfd of excitement and trepidation you must be a-wigglin' with right now!! Congratulations and Best Wishes!!
Advice: They have support groups for expecting fathers for gentlemen as such in your state of... uncertainty. I hear they're proctored by fathers of cheerleaders and career airline stewardesses
Thanks for the sentiment, but I'll say I have a peace about it. I know that it's likely to be the most challenging years of my life, and I can't say I'm not anxious, but it is what it is. We almost certainly couldn't handle it by ourselves, and we're thankful that we won't have to. Our friends and families are there for us, and we're so grateful to them for it.

Wife is currently pregnant with triplets. (Watching and learning about their development has certainly influenced my opinion on abortion, which may provide some perspective on a few of my recent posts.)
