She got hired because she's pretty, slutty and maybe even takes a jog on the casting couch. Nothing new here.
Men love it because men love women in ANY way, shape or form.
Young women love it because they are wanna-be's.

Us old women DON'T love these bimbos because they are a reminder of how stupid young women are. They allow themselves to be demeaned, degraded and humiliated...and think we old broads are just jealous, frustrated and bitter. Old broads are INVISIBLE.

Lol. Just wait, ladies, until YOUR boobs, butt and tummy go south, sag, bag and otherwise hag. Just wait until the wrinkles in your face can't be covered with 10 tons of make-up. Just wait until men STOP looking at you and when you ARE in the vision of young women and men, they will just look right past you as if you are INVISIBLE. They won't be rude....one has to be NOTICED first for rudeness to occur. They just DON'T SEE YOU.
Just wait and you will also be part of our group of old broads who look at the young stupids and feel nothing but contempt, with a slow, knowing shaking of the head.

Old men are invisible too but their invisibility happens at a much older age....then they too become invisible.

Oh well, we were made like this, obviously, to please the alpha males. Young, pretty, stupid women won't wake up. They can't. They are doomed for dumb until they are old broads. THEN, they will be part of this group. I'm not SO bitter. I had a husband who always thought I was gorgeous, even at 7:00 in the morning. He was SUCH a sweet, convincing liar. :o)
Nothing changes.

It's been a long time since I watched newscasts so I was struck by how many "bouncy" females are doing the news these days after watching those videos. Definitely being eye-candy is a requirement for the job. When I was growing up in the 1970s, the newscasts were dominated by men and they tended to be solemn and humorless. Even the weather forecasters in those days were pretty serious affairs with meteorologists in thick glasses who truly looked like they spent 14 hours a day poring over NOAA weather maps. Now the weather has become entertainment as well, with luscious females who probably couldn't tell you the different between a high and low pressure system.

About 3 weeks ago as the local morning news was heading to a commercial break the male co-anchor, thinking they were off air, said “ I think someone just had an orgasm”.

I DVR’d it so I could play it back for the wife. It took him a couple of segments before he apologized and he was awfully red faced.

This wasn't in 2013 but it deserves to be in the "on-air gaffe" Hall of Fame!

A "broad" brush. Lol.
That, Mr. O.O. was a double, no a triple entendre--for what THAT is worth.

LAWYERS will handle all the flak.
In one of Shakespeare's plays, Shakespeare’s character says something like “the first thing we need to do is kill all of the lawyers.”

LAWYERS would get all the civil suit money. There are some mighty smart lawyers and kittypoo from the boobustoobus MIGHT not have the very best lawyers around. They CAN be fired...it just takes a "smarter" lawyer.

OMG...a real live SNORT!!! That is so REAL. :o):o)
You're okay in my book too. Anyone who adds a REAL snort, which is what people DO when they have a big laugh, HAS to be okay in my book.

Notice that there ARE male announcers of all ages and looks. However, all the females are young, pretty and bouncy. They are of all colors too. When I see an old, not-pretty, not-bouncy female announcer, then I will note parity in gender.

Women (and I am one) are SUCH hypocrites. "Wah, I wanna be an announcer!!!"
Then the field opens up and what women get hired? Hah, HYPOCRISY.
Women want to see young, pretty and bouncy too cuz they somehow identify with them. Men drool while the young women announcers simper, smirk and grin with their $25,000. tooth job.

Those women don't know the news and they don't care. They know their value--sex...absolutely NOTHING else.

Well, those bouncy boobs will sag in their not too distant future.
Their toothy grins will become yellowish and need LOTS of cleaning.
Their smirks will turn to frowns when they turn 40 and NOBODY wants them in front of the T.V. camera anymore. They will be BITTER and blame EVERYONE else on the planet but their own determination to get what they wanted, using their looks, their sex.

The cream of the jest is that MANY producers and such, those who PUT THEM in front of the camera are....women. Hah! Their own gender sells them down the river.
Payback is such a bitch. :o) I wouldn't want to hear their moaning and groaning when they reach the age of unreasoning rage at becoming old. They WILL write letters about having "real" women on T.V. Hah, too little, too late, dearies.

Excuse me! Your boobs are knocking over my soda. Move on, fatso saggy-tits old lady.

Oh dear, am I being harsh???
