You do understand that being in front of a tv for a living requires more than just being smart or talented, right? It requires people wanting to watch you do whatever it is that you're doing. That goes for both men and women.

Wow...your taking this thread a little to seriously. I don't know Jennifer but I liked to watch her because she seems cool and sweet and also was easy on the eyes. I'd seriously doubt she wouldn't just chuckle at this whole thread.

I there was a thread about me with a bunch of people talking about how attractive I was, I would print it out, post by post, hang it on the refrigerator, and read it a few times a day.

Not exactly sure.
Several of the basketball announcers I wouldn't call attractive. Although bfent called her smoking, I wouldn't say Holly Rowe is.

Thanks Jeremy. Sometimes I'd like to put a picture of some of the posters' wives in a thread and see how they like the comments that are made.


Now don't be throwing the BS card about being on a high horse here, the following is a very real response to this thread...

Am I the only one that finds this whole thread rather disgusting? Out of the 30 posts on the first page of the thread, every single post has sounded like a crude 8th grader objectifying anything that moves. Are we really still at the point where a lady can't be considered good at her job unless she has big **** and a short skirt? You do realize that most meteorological jobs these days require somebody to be smart and not just smile and read a teleprompter, right?

I guess maybe I'm the only one that watches the weather to see if I need to dress my son in a coat or shorts rather than to get a quick, creepy fix in by looking at pretty ladies. Threads like this remind me why I'm glad I don't have to raise a daughter in today's world, it's hard enough trying to raise a son with self dignity and respect for others.

Seriously though, this thread says a lot about how far we as a society still have to go to treat people equally and not because of their eye-candy-worthiness.

If it weren't for the adolescent locker room behaviour young women like Jennifer would be resigned to doing research at NOAA where she would be ogled by her dorky co-workers rather than live the glamorous lifestyle of a mid-market TV meteorologist where she is anonymously objectified on the internets.

I dunno, why can't we just enjoy someone being good at their job and attractive? I thought she was enjoyable on both accounts. I feel like in general we're far too PC today. "You look sharp" is the only allowable comment.

I'm just posting in this thread so people can look at my avatar again.

Oh and as far as good looking meteorologists go, my vote is for Cheryl Scott. All you Chicago people know who I'm talking about. And for you Iowans, it's worth a quick trip to google images.

Is there any ESPN football reporters that AREN'T attractice anymore? Ya, I'm sure they were all the best candidates for the job...

Looks matter, welcome to reality some of you.
