THE Internet's wildly popular, nude news show, "Naked News," is jumping to television.

The new weekly pay-per-view show will feature an all-nude female lineup of anchors who "uncover" stories with an international flavor from the lighter side of the news.

Pop star Mariah Carey meets the troops in Kosovo December 4, 2001.
Carey's top priority, she told Reuters on the flight out, was to boost
morale for the American peacekeeping troops stationed there.

I remember when NakedNews was first discussed on FR earlier in the year. I told my friend what I had read. We were in class at the time and he didn't believe me. He logged onto NakedNews.com and little did he know that the computer speakers were turned all the way up. Well when computer connected to the site, a loud female voice boomed, "Welcome to Naked News! Where all our female reporters are naked!" All eyes were upon him while he desparately tried to turn down the speakers and explain to the professor what he was doing. I never laughed so hard.

I had access to Naked News during the Cole bombing.

I don't know what I'm supposed to be thinking when I'm watching a naked woman tell me about a national tragedy.

If the news is humors or popular, having naked women (and now men) reading the news can be amusing.

However, when it's deadly serious, I don't understand what value naked news has.

Each show opens with lead anchor Laurie Dhue who gradually disrobes as she reads the news. Dhue then throws the broadcast to a variety of all-nude correspondents who report on sports, lifestyle news and celebrity gossip.

Just wishful thinking on my part.

The 55-minute show debuts on Dec. 7 (10 p.m.) on In-Demand cable and new weekly episodes bow Friday nights.

It costs about $3.95 per hour.

Or wait for some lonely nerd (no, not like me ;-)) to post his screen captures of the program on the net and see it for free.

BTW: We have rules here on FR...so....what no pics?

"Yesterday, Dec. 7, 1941 - a date which will live in infamy - the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked..."
Oops, wrong time, wrong place.

The women on aked News are quite attractive, although I agree with the poster who states that serious stories can be trivialized by this approach.

I just hope that this doesn't give Katie Couric or Helen Thomas any ideas.

I was wondering if Freepers thought naked women doing the news would be considered pornography. After all, they aren't doing any sexual poses or anything. Its less pornographic than anything Titian or Reubens did.

"Neck-up qualifications come first," she says.

In what world?

I'd like to see them do a political commentary show - Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, even our own Kirsten. This has possibilities!

Nude women are not pornographic. It's only when you put them in pumps that they become naked. Even then, it's not really porno, so much as pin-up.

It's only when you start showing women touching themselves in their nether regions, clothed or otherwise, inserting objects, or introduce any male with an erect member, or fondled in it's raisin state, or portray the woman alone, albeit bespooged, that it crosses the line into pornography.

A naked woman wearing whipped cream is not pornography, just an appetizer. A nude reading the news is news.

I am sorry but I can't get past Duhue's crooked nose. Now Patty Ann Brown is a different Story.

Of course, they play the same "top stories" every night. It'd get boring after a while.

I see them needing to bring in guest breasts before long.

Would you kindly be good enough to provide a reason why we should not be happy that your tv does not broadcast back what's in front of it.

Well, you would probably need to buy one of those new, wide-screen TV's in order to preserve the aspect ratio of the original theatrical release.
