So, when is Ann Coulter going to be prosecuted for admitting to sending that "anthrax"?

I hadn't thought about that. Good idea, subby!

FTA:

The writer -- or perhaps writers, as FBI profilers suggest -- doesn't seem to be angry that women are broadcast in scanty uniforms, but rather that they can't seem to get on TV unless they show less skin.

Another letter complained that Ohio State University cheerleaders have gotten more air time than any other major college cheer squad because they wear long-sleeved outfits. "If they wore sleeveless outfits," the note reads, "they would not get ANY TV time."

Huh?.. these are counter to each other aren't they?!? .. wtf? What do they want?

I did a double-take reading that article.

/confused by nonsensical rants
//wtf am I doing on Fark, I know...

Ten bucks say the perp(s) will be a fat chick(s) who's cankles kept her off the cheer squad.

What Delphis said...

I don't know what this article is trying to say. It seems that the sender of the letters is claiming that only overdressed cheerleaders and female athletes are getting airtime. The letter writer is upset because s/he thinks that only women wearing more clothing are shown on TV? This makes no sense. Last time I checked, cameramen at sporting events did a pretty good job of focusing on the scantily dressed chicks in the stands, on the sidelines (cheerleaders), etc.

If this really is someone upset that the cameras aren't showing enough female skin, I think the authorities should shift their search. Maybe check out the letter-writing habits of local 13 year old boys.

Well, it sort of does make you wonder where those miles and miles of footage of the scantily clad, predominantly up-skirt cheerleader closeups end up ...

/Wait
//nvm

The article is confusing because the letters are confusing. Here are the fullest quotes of the letters I could find:

"We are fed up with networks exploiting women in sports coverage. ABC/ESPN exploit collegiate and professional cheer squads in their coverage of football and basketball. They also screw WNBA players and WTA Tennis players. Compare coverage of cheer and dance squads based on their outfits they wear. Compare quality of shots, length of shots and number of shots Pigs park their cameras on us close up, front view, dozens of times each game, yet rarely ever show on TV in this manner, unless squads are wearing sweaters, jackets, under shirts, etc... Watch how they always zoom in on WNBA players shooting free throws then leave at the last second as she starts to shoot, disrupting the flow. Watch on ESPN how they will show women serve, close up, from every angle (side, back) EXCEPT when they zoom in close front, they will leave as she starts to serve, disrupting the flow. We have asked nicely for them to respect us and all women, yet they refuse. They exploit innocent people, so we will too. When they start respecting us, we stop mailing these out."

"For the past 6-7 years, ESPN and its nationwide networks have exploited cheer/dance teams all across the country. They do this by parking their TV cameras on these women for their own personal entertainment, but only give TV time to squads that wear long sleeved shirts, jackets, sweaters, etc. The squads that don't wear these types of outfits? They get EXPLOITED. For a long time we have warned ESPN the networks and several schools what would happen if this did not change. For the last 6 years, Ohio State cheerleaders have received more TV time than any other Division 1A cheer squad on ESPN, because they wear long sleeved red/white outfits. If they wore sleeveless outfits, they would not get ANY TV time. So, we are fed up with this constant exploitation."

They keep using that word exploitation but I do not think they know what that word means...
