the ignatz effect

[substitute]

The "ignat z effect" can be summarized as follows:

No matter what job I take, I eventually find myself in the soft porn/pinup industry. This included my short tenure at The Romp, a humor site for frat boys without a sense of humor, for example.

The current employer is a provider of sports news, so with the exception of our Anna Kournikova exploitation package it has been pretty mild. Until we got this. Work safe, folks, just very very cheesy.

And I don't like pinups or pr0n. Not one little bit. It makes me wince. I wince a lot.

God, I effing hate the tendency to see in women's sports (or the combination of women and sports) nothing more than the potential for porn. Anna Kournikova makes me puke. So does this Fox Sports thing -- what is it, match wits with random porn stars? What the hell does that have to do with sports? What the hell does that have to do with anything?

This isn't a diatribe at you, Ignatz. I'm just saying that I wince a lot too, when stuff like this comes up.

But they're covering their breasts, so it's tasteful, like.
