Weathergirl in nude pics storm
The Local ^

Sweden’s TV4 meteorologist Tone Bekkestad is being punished by the station after the Norwegian weather forecaster posed for sexy pictures in a recent issue of a popular men’s magazine.

The piece in Slitz magazine was highlighting Sweden’s best looking women.

Bekkestad's pose - in tight, low-cut jeans, an open black blazer, and with her cleavage partly showing - was apparently too much for the broadcaster.

Bekkestad, who said she was duped by the magazine thinking it would use other less provocative pictures, was reportedly put on at least three months' leave from her duties as a result.

“She won’t be in the frame because her pictures in Slitz don’t fit with what TV4 stands for,” said Kinna Bellander, channel spokeswoman, reported media industry magazine Resumé.

Bekkestad has criticized Slitz for the publication of the pictures. The magazine said it did not trick Bekkestad, saying she had a great time during the photo shoot.

Can't do a dang thing 'bout the weather, but..

a little more cleavage may help the forecast go down a little easier. ;-)

OK, as someone who has never been to Europe, let alone Sweden, let me ask a dumb question:

Aren't the Europeans so much more "sophisticated" than we "inhibited" Americans? Isn't nudity so accepted there? I mean, what would have happened if she went to the beach and someone took her picture?

Here's a link, but you can't read the article unless you read Swedish. And I know we all buy these for the articles. http://www.slitz.se/articlepages/?PageID=2&NewsType=8&NewsID=195

When those two gals were stalking me, I told them to stay off magazine covers. Guess they didn't want to listen.

To be fair to both sides, I'll need to review the picture in question.

HOCKEY-ZLATAN!

The phrase "Top Model-Babes!" is the same in Swedish? Who knew?
