They were showing a segment on some awards show (don’t know which one, but winners collected a bear shaped trophy), and they were mentioning some of the winners, one of which was a Chinese director, and they showed a clip from his film which appeared to take place in a public bathroom, and showed a line of topless women coming out of a shower stall. The women were fuzzy and indistinct, but it was pretty easy to tell that there was naked boobage. ---

I’m more shocked someones watching CNN Headline News! The ‘re-engineered’ it a few years ago into unwatchability. Whats worse, Comcast is too cheap to make a local news segment. We get 5 minutes of a local TV personality (who I barely remember) interviewing a local ‘newsmaker’ every half-hour. Mind numbing. Oh boy, starting tomorrow there will be a 3-hour block of programming each evening: “Showbiz Tonight,” “Nancy Grace” and “Prime News Tonight”… CNN2, anyone? ---

That goes under the category of “What the hell were they thinking?” ---
