I’m still laughing just thinking about it. This news lady dressed as you’d expect in blouse, skirt, tights etc starts undressing as she reads the news. She never breaks character as she peels it all off. It’s a legitimate news program with a risque bonus. 😛 I’d guess they are reading AP wire stories. It’s standard current world news. My friend said they are based in Canada and he’s had an account there for quite a few years. No need to link it because its NSFW. Strictly soft core, much like Playboy. It’s easily found if anyone is curious. The web site is just a curiosity and good for a laugh. I have to give them kudos for originality. I guess it’s better than watching David Muir or any of those other middle aged dudes. ---

This is real?! I remember it being something the main character watched in the Margaret Atwood book Oryx and Crake (the Noodie News). I had no idea that this existed. ---

> [@Freudian\_Slit](#): > > This is real?! I remember it being something the main character watched in the Margaret Atwood book Oryx and Crake (the Noodie News). I had no idea that this existed. I don’t think any real journalists work there. They are reading the current news and they had some self produced segments on entertainment news and gossip. Like Entertainment Tonight does. YMMV I didn’t particularly find it erotic. I don’t think it’s intended that way. Just some eye candy while getting caught up on the day’s events. ---

I subscribed to it for a few weeks way back. (It was sometime after I graduated from college…in 2001, just to put it in perspective.) Absolutely nothing special. It’s news with skin, nothing more. Actually, since they take _great_ pains to keep the Really Naught Bits hidden, it’s actually a step below a Playboy video (and they’re about as soft as core gets). Heck, I don’t think it even rises to the level of artistic nude. Anyone who’d legitimately find anything erotic about it has _abysmally_ low standards (which is sadly far from uncommon). Baron Greenback/bobot - No, no, no, no, **it doesn’t work like that**. You only get to do that smarmy wink-wink-nudge-nudge if the friend is cited as the CONSUMER. If the OP admits to using it him/herself, doesn’t matter who the freaking advisor is. Personally, I think we’d save a lot of time if we just grew up a little and stopped playing games over something as mundane as the human form, but I guess I always gotta be the radical here. ---
