France, nudity, and a Ukrainian own goal.

suddenly giving the term "the beautiful game" a whole new meaning....

Does France have more relaxed regulations on nudity on public airwaves than we do where we will see what the news anchor sitting next to her will see?

It would be a shame if she didn't.

The United States is far more restrictive on that than most of the rest of the world.

Would there be so much excitement and media coverage over the prospect of whether the 27 year old former model turned TV weather forecaster will keep her promise if instead the weather forecaster was:

1. Al Roker;

2. Willard Scott;

3. Christine Hansen (for those who do not know her [look her up on Wikipedia] she has been a long time meteorologist at various No.Cal. TV stations since the 1970's after posing as a Playboy centerfold in 1974 and is now in her early 60's); or

4. A middle aged, out of shape, mother of 4 kids, who works on local TV as a meteorologist in for example Enid, Oaklahoma or Gunnison, Colorado?

I know that. Just curious if France is so lenient that they allow it on public airwaves.

I can't imagine they would- and the fact that the station hasn't come out and announced that it would let her honor the bet is probably telling. Still, a man can dream!

If the station is smart, they will not say anything for a week or two and let the suspense build...maybe throw out some "unconfirmed rumors" that it will be happening....everyone will tune in every night to see if "tonight is the night"!...ratings bonanza!!!

I think it's already been shown.

Disappointing!
