Stephen Joseph Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/europe/08/11...reut/index.html Starting nightly on August 16, Get Lucky TV will broadcast via satellite to European audiences the daily news read by a series of nubile young women who will gradually -- but tastefully -- remove their clothes on camera. "We are quite sensitive to certain issues, one of course being death," anchor Samantha Page told Reuters Television Wednesday. "We try to be as respectful as we can, and what we tend to do is we leave our clothes on." Just in case people get the wrong idea, Page pointed out that she has a degree in psychology and zoology and a black belt in karate. Fellow Naked News anchor Lily Kwan exhibited a similar candor. "I got into Naked News very accidentally. I was actually studying to become a dental hygienist. I was attending school when I soon realized that I needed something a bit more creative to cultivate my creativity," she said. She said she had no qualms about stripping in front of a television audience. "I do enjoy wearing clothes. But it is quite liberating to take your clothes off as well -- especially in public," Kwan added. The phenomenon of nude news reading first started in Russia and spread to Canada where Naked News started in 1999. The Toronto-based firm is now hoping to emulate its North American success this side of the Atlantic

kkktookmybabyaway Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 Good thing you're an economist because you'd make a lousy proofreader. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know. Pot. Kettle. Black...
EricMM Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 here here! oh wait... Nudity is so NOT a problem. I can understand why Ashey might be against everything from drug use to violence to sex (maybe). But nudity, especially partial/soft is ... not dangerous.
Guest INXS Posted August 12, 2004 Report Posted August 12, 2004 Sounds okay as a gimmick but I prefer my news coverage to be serious.
Vyce Posted August 13, 2004 Report Posted August 13, 2004 Is this about Naked News? If it is, we DO have that here in America. My cable provider offers it, or at least did so a while back - you just have to pay extra for it. Frankly, I don't know what the big deal about it is. If I want to shell out money for female nudity, I'd be more obliged to just spend the cash to get a good hardcore porn flick instead.

Astro101 Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 I've seen the News Flash or whatever on PBTV...the chick's hot, but pictures of guys like Ashcroft on the screen negate any erection.

Jobber of the Week Posted August 15, 2004 Report Posted August 15, 2004 DOJ, jobber. He is my ultimate boss. Shit, now they're onto me already! I thought, being an economist and everything, you worked for the Treasury or something like that.
