By: Brook My partner is a news hound. Every time I turn around, he's on a different news web site, absorbing all he can about the latest in national headlines. He visits all the goodies: BBC, The Nation, PHEM! ;-) But he most recently has been checking in on Huffington Post. So I skipped on over, checked it out, read some of the latest articles, then came across this:
"Who Has the Best Chest in Hollywood" (photos and poll 9/26/09) Readers rate the women's breasts on scale from 1 to 10; 1 being 'gross' and 10 being 'gorgeous'. I know a little something about Arianna Huffington, and frankly, was just disappointed.
It's a shame when you come across a probably well meaning site that mixes absolutely thoughtless opinion with otherwise thoughtful news and commentary. Arriana has lost my interest...and it's a shame, too--especially when just this year she was rated number 12 on Forbes' first ever list on the Most Influential Women in Media. I felt as if I had been taken into the mind of an adolescent boy, vicariously viewing his juvenile score chart tucked under his bed: Lisa from fourth bell: breasts:2 //score=ew. Monica from 1st bell: breasts: 8 //score= awesome.
Don't worry! Huffington Post is an equal opportunity offender! Gals, have your fun at telling those frumpy or fabulous men to either 'cover it up' or that they are simply 'gorgeous'. Give me a break. This is not exactly how I want to be influenced. I expected better! And so I wrote to them.
Feel free to share your thoughts with them, too: Write to Huffington Post.

I like Huff's coverage of serious stuff, like war and politics. Bill Maher's columns are good, too. The celebrity stuff, though, is just a little weird.
