A reporter at a Huntsville television station has been fired for what she said was a humorous look at her job on her personal blog.

Shea Allen, a special investigations reporter at WAAY-TV Channel 31, told The Huntsville Times/al.com today that the blog post - in which, among other things, she claimed to have "gone bra-less" during on-air appearances - has drawn national attention.

She's also got that attractive little gap between her front teeth.

She does put one in mind of a young Lauren Hutton.

Didn’t notice that, I was maintaining eye-to-bust contact.

It is sort of like Crusader Rabbit.

Second thread I’ve read this morning that touches on a woman’s breasts.

The emphasis on boobs NOT currently holding elective office in Washington, D.C. much appreciated!

Another Crusader Rabbit Journalist.

Maybe. Though I read it like "I'm important! No really! I am! Listen to meeee!". Figure that someone who works in front of a camera for a living has got to have at least a touch of narcissism.

what else is HDTV for?

I’m a sucker for great chompers...

Cute girl

No sane man would debate your point.

So she slept on the job, exposed her station to embarrassing “nip slips” and (deliberately) set up potential “wardrobe malfunctions” on camera, stole mail (from others at work?), and manipulated her interviews to make HER look good and demean the people she was taping/recording .....

Then wrote it all down in public.

And the station doesn’t have the right to fire her?

[Magnum44]

Another victim of the long-lost American sense of humor?

Maybe...I was thinking the same...

But also thinking that personal internet blogs and drawing attention to oneself is never a good idea. Sooner or later airing all your laundry in public will bite you. The younger generation does not grasp that.

Maybe her ratings weren’t that hot......it has been my experience that if you are making the company a lot of money they will find a way to keep you on!!!

Firing her was too much, she just needs a good spanking.

I suspect she stole mail from those she was waiting to interview, but otherwise I agree. She is very cute (rare for liberals) but not at all a nice woman. I imagine her boss was grateful to have so public an excuse.

I don’t think her going bra-less had anything to do with getting fired. Admitting to stealing mail would be a key issue though.

So is there that much empty space in Lauren’s as well?

[V K Lee]

Is it just my eye sight or does her neckline seem strange in the left of the picture. Just the way she posed during shots or a new fashion expression? She is at least covering her arms with sleeves...unlike some we often see.

No.10 is a federal crime and can get you hard time at Uncle Sam’s Grey bar hotel.

I kid you not.

[RedMonqey]

She’s sooo not guilty!!

I see she’s “horny” as well
