Talk:Erin Esurance

message: Almost all searches point to Mo Mellady as the current voice of the character (A link to Outpost studios seems to be the most reliable confirmation).  Debi Mae West's site, as far as I can tell, mentions that she has done work for Esurance, but not which commercials or characters.  Is it possible that she did Erin's voice early on (being at work with no speakers, I can't check my self)? 140.140.58.8 20:11, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It might be possible that Erin was voiced by both Mellady and West, although I'm merely speculating. The earlier commercials sound like they could be West's voice based on what I heard on her website, but Erin seemed to have a different voice in the football commercial. So could it be that Erin has had two voices? --Dynamite Eleven 04:22, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  IPA in lede 

message: <The oldest name for the city is the Syriac Orhay, which is derived from either the Semitic root -r-w-ʿ, meaning "to bring water", or the Greek name "Orrha", meaning "beautiful flowing water".>
I clicked on the reference link and I don't see any reference to the meaning "beautiful flowing water". There is no word in the Greek language that I know of that sounds like "Orrha" and means "beautiful flowing water". There is, one could say, "Orrhea" - "ωραία", which translates to "nice / pretty" in the female gender, "Orrha" - "ώρα", which translates to "time". According to Brittanica "The name of the kingdom appears to have been ultimately derived from a certain Osroes of Orhai, who founded the state about 136 bc." 
https://www.britannica.com/place/Osroene 
In the Dictionary of Greek and Roman Geography there is this excerpt:
"A town of Osroene. This name of Syriac origin is found in the Arabic, and means a place in a valley where waters meet. (Milman, note on Gibbon's Decl. and Fall, vol. iv. p. 144; St. Martin, note on Le Beau, vol. iii. p. 56.)" 
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0064%3Aentry%3Dbatnae-geo

message: I'm looking for a specific back issue of Loaded. It was, I guess, about a decade ago, so 1997 or thereabouts. In it, there was a feature article which asked "Is it tougher to be a guy or a girl?". To find out, they got a girl to do 10 "guy" things and a guy to do 10 "girl" things. All very tongue in cheek and amazingly funny, e.g. the girl had to wear the same underwear for 3 days, buy a porn mag from her LOCAL newsagent, and try to pull someone down the pub with a crass chat-up line. Meanwhile the guy had to compliment his friends on their appearance, have a simulated period (they gave him water-retention tablets and made him give up smoking for 3 days), and drink semen (his own). Disposable, frivolous journalism at its best... 
If any Loaded fan can point me to the year & month that this issue was published, I'd be grateful. You can leave a message on my talk page. Ryancolm 12:54, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I was just wondering: in which universe exactly do Israeli Jews dress up as the family mentioned in the last scene? I have lived in Israel my entire life and have yet to encounter anything even remotely simliar to the garments these extras wear, which is basically Western outfits with some ugly patterend cloth (tablecloth, perhaps?) draped over their fronts plus a very large, oddly shaped hat for the man and child. In fact, I was not even aware that my country had any sort of ethnic dress, and I would be greatly interested in finding out on what sort of sources the author of the page relied upom. Thanks for making this paragraph immensely entertaining, anyway.
:I agree. Aside from the use of the word covenant there is nothing similar to Judaism here. Not to mention that countless religions (and secular organizations) use the term. I've removed the paragraph, but if someone has any kind of citation to indicate that this is normal (good luck), it should be re-added. Here's the original text, 
::More controversially, and perhaps more interesting, is the connection between this episode and the Judaic practice of circumcision believed by some to go against medical ethics.  The aliens in this story believe that life-saving surgery will destroy their son's covenant, a word often used by Jews in association with circumcision.  Also, the last scene in the episode shows a family dressed in clothing characteristic of Israeli Jews.
:Oh, and to whomever posted the original comment - in the future if you see something like this, don't wait around for someone to remove it. Be bold and remove small things like this it on your own.
