Morning Call T&A
The Morning Call has uploaded 205 pictures of the scantily clad women in the Eagles' cheerleader tryouts. Is this a newspaper or Playboy?

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
It was better reading than what they normally print as news.
ReplyDeleteI didn't see the picture of Mezzacappa?
ReplyDeleteI think it was a public service.
ReplyDeleteET needs to counter with even more scantily clad women! Perhaps hundreds of pictures of the latest in string bikini wear being offered for sale?
ReplyDeletePhotojournalism at its finest!
ReplyDeleteDidn't realize TMC was still published. Is it still a daily?

ReplyDeleteGreat observation!
ReplyDeleteI noticed the same thing. Truthfully, after about 50 images, they all looked pretty much alike. In a way, having a meat auction like that is sad. But, I looked at every image!
I'm thinking Kubel got a little too carried away. The photo editor couldn't help himself, either.

Fred, I think it was an offensive objectification of women. I must be getting old.
ReplyDeleteYou're either getting old or your gayness is finally coming out.
ReplyDeleteNot really surprised what these two papers run. All the news that's fit to print

"You're either getting old or your gayness is finally coming out."
ReplyDeleteDon't knock it 'till you've tried it.
That's the most exciting thing to come out of the Eagles' Locker Room since 2004.
ReplyDeleteDarn...and we were due for another front page story about the Sands Casino.
ReplyDeleteBernie! Of course it was an objectification of women. That's always happened. We are still dealing with racism and discrimination and prejudice - will any of these ever change? I was salivating at first but was overloaded after the 15th picture. That fare has that effect.
ReplyDeleteActually this "photojournalism" "spread" did.
surprise me, that is.
ReplyDeleteSo BOH, when will you officially come out as a gay person?
ReplyDeletePeople don't "come out" anymore, unless you're Basilio Banana and trying to get attention. I'm saving myself for Ron Angle.
ReplyDelete" Is this a newspaper or Playboy?"
ReplyDeleteIs Fox a "news" organization, or Glamour Magazine?
