News Babes On Parade

Attractive women are giving me the information. 

The most progressive cable television news organization, MS-NBC, has chosen women to provide us the information: breaking news, non-breaking news, old news, no-news-fluff about animals, and those crazy wacky videos. Oh, there are a few men here and there (like Keith Olbermann, shown below the women) but mostly the news chiefs have selected smart, articulate--and foxy--women. Like this:

You know NBC test-marketed these concepts (who should anchor the daily news segments?) and the people (what is their physical likeability factor??) until the cows come home, as we say in Texas. And they learned--to no one's surprise--that attractive people are more watchable than somewhat homely people. And that the audience is more likely to watch..and continue watching...attractive women rather than handsome men.

Outrageous! Can you say Discrimination Against Glossy Deep-Voiced Male News Anchors??

CNN-TV, by contrast, has a mostly equal mix of men and women in on-air news positions. Attractiveness-wise, well, CNN slides about midway down the scale from gorgeous to homely. Jack Cafferty, for example, was a tired old hounddog in a past life.

Life is a stern teacher. If you're a pleasure to look upon, more folks will be drawn to you. We live in Hollywoodland, folks. Survival of the most comely. 

A contest! And a prize!! Name each of the women pictured above correctly -- send your five names to me at textgod@pobox.com -- and I'll send you, well, something. Something beautiful, to be named later. Start....now! 

And comb your hair, for god's sakes.
