Foxy Knoxy

This morning's 'The Wright Stuff' tackled the main news of the moment head-on, with a piece entitled: “Foxy Knoxy – Would Ya?”, discussing whether you would bed the the newly acquitted, although probably still guilty, American sex-murderess if the opportunity arose.
Smug-faced grinning Matthew asked Christopher Biggins and former Atomic Kitten Liz McClarnon the killer question:
“What would you do if you met a rich, sizzling brunette at a bar, only to realise when you were in the taxi home with her that she was Amanda Knox?”
Good question Matthew! McClarnon was outraged, Biggins was dismissive. I only wish some of the other big-name panel-based discussion shows, like Newsnight, The Daily Politics or Question Time would tackle questions that started with, 'What would you do if......';

“And the next question comes from Ian Townsend from Bedfordshire...”
“Thanks David, I would would like to ask the panel: “What would you do if your nose and your anus swapped places on your body, so your nose was between your buttocks, and your anus was in the middle of your face?””
“Good question. Diane Abbot...”

More to the point, what would I do if I met a rich, sizzling brunette at a bar, only to realise when I was in the taxi home with her that she was Amanda Knox?
To be honest, I probably wouldn't recognise her in the first place, but if I did I'd wonder why I'd only just managed to recognise her in the darkness of the back of a taxi, and not during an entire evening spent with her, talking to her, and looking at face? And then I'd probably just go along with it out of politeness.

But was this actually a clever piece of journalism by Matthew?
Was he subversively asking us about our predilections of judicial decisions? Was he asking how accurate these cases are reported by the tabloids, and how the general public will follow their every word? Was he craftily hiding these topics under the guise of asking us whether we'd have sex with a kinky murder-suspect given the opportunity, and despite his smug, grinning face?
No, he wasn't, he was asking, 'Foxy Knoxy – Would Ya?'
