Why is it the cable news people show men from the chest up and women from the waist up?
Just a question? Why is it they want to show the "physical fitness" of a woman more than they want to show the same for a man?

Let's see Larry King in a tight sweater!

7. To keep their job
In fact, that's why they were hired in most cases.

I watch TV news occationally and to me most the women look abnormally endowed. Especially since they are so skinney. It's just weird looking.

13. Yeah, but I would pay more attention to the girl in the new Hall's cogh drop commercials myself...
I looked for an image of the girl who appears to be an Aleutian and is a very nice round shape but couldn't find it on a first look. Anyone else?

12. It's the "Great Titty Conspiracy", man! Haven't you heard?
You have to be able to see the size of a woman's breasts to see whether she's credible or not... the nicer the rack, the more people hang on her every word. It really doesn't matter *what* those words are, or if you even *understand* those words, as long as she's providing eye candy while she's saying them...

Jeez, get with the program already, dude :eyes:


:hi:

14. Because women's chests are more interesting than men's chests?
That's true in all cases but of course there are varying degrees.

18. You evil, *EVIL* man!!!
Now I must go poke out my eyes and run white hot steel spikes into my brain to kill the visual image in my head...

You evil, *EVIL* man!!

I cast a curse upon you so that you may have the "Barney" theme song as an earworm for the rest of your days... "I love you, you love me......."

24. After making this post I notice that on CNN at least
Edited on Sun Mar-22-09 04:03 PM by Rider Haggard
that the "womens" desk seems to be sitting pretty much on their lap.

I look forward to tomorrow to compare the unisex and male desks.

On edit: I now see Fareem shot with 1/4 of his chest up to his head. Gee, so much different. :sarcasm:

25. Women are nicer to look at from the waist up than men. One rarely
sees a woman with a gross beer belly.

26. My wife was preggers once...
And I found her more beautiful than ever before. And she was beautiful before.

Even if we are now divorced and I equate her with the Prince of Darkness. :)

28. Chests and "diminishing" those tiny wrinkles and blemishes on the face by being further away. (Like
the way the cameras are really fogged out or whatever that soft effect is they use on the ladies. Just another "youthful beauty" trick.)
