Aussie female news reader writes open letter

[Red7227]

An Australian newsreader writes an open letter about being a woman newsreader in Australia over the last 25 years.

DEAR Mr Misogynist,
I'd like to thank you for everything you've taught me over the past 25 years.
Why, I had no idea I was so fat, ugly and stupid. I thought being a size 12 was perfectly acceptable...

Hah... to be fair the guy isn't wrong. I don't see anything wrong with her looks... BUT it's great that she'd finally had enough and is letting them know how much it doesn't even matter. At the same time, the dude claiming she was growing long in the tooth wasn't just a misogynist piece of crap, he also apparently needs an eye exam.

I found the irony amusing that as the interview tailed off, I thought "thank god she's shut up..."

Oh I'll burn in hell I know, but it made me chuckle :lol:

I particularly liked the "you can't trust anything that bleeds for 5 days but doesn't die".

It was quite a moment. She is not much of an orator, and the target was the deeply bigoted the leader of the opposition, so it was doubly fun to watch.
