Good Grief, the news ladies on half the media shows dress like that. These people won’t be happy until all women are in Burkas.

I’ve said this before: the witch hunt atmosphere will hurt women. Out of fear men will seek ways to avoid professional interactions with women, resulting in the women losing opportunities for work and advancement. The models who would have had high profile gig are now out of luck.

The objectification of women must stop!

No more beautiful women:

Circling the ring between rounds at boxing matches
Lining the field at football games
Appearing with winners of car races
Escorting celebrities to the podia of awards programs
Standing alongside cars at car shows
Handing out swag at conventions
Standing and smiling at product introductions

(P.S.: I really do hope that some CEO with a sense of humor has his models dress in burkas at an upcoming product release.)

I'll join in as soon as we stop seeing models at car shows and NASCAR.

Have these fools never been to a trade show, much less an Asian CES show?

Yowser!
