122...Panhandling

I am seeing the talent on Ottawa's A Channel panning for support from the government instead of actually, um, being entertaining. Please, clue in, the way to make money in the entertainment business is to entertain. Plus, as the Detroit stations we get on cable here in Ottawa illustrate, local is key.

In what is a visual medium you would think they could find hot people to read the news too, not just on A, on any channel in this town, this Canada. By hot I mean currently hot, not formerly hot, not hot in a certain light but hot, currently hot, like Shay Ryan from 7WXYZ Detroit [who is now on FOX5, New York], ESPN's Erin Andrews, CBS's Katie Couric etc.

I know this is anathema to the politically correct, but being hot, does not mean one is not competent. Cup size is not inverse to IQ.

The national sports channels get it, they are rife with fine looking [men and] women who also are great at reporting le sports.
