POPSFOX: The Pants are Off the Girls!!!
"And then Earhardt coyly continues, "Would you like us to wear pants, Brian?" "No, no!" Brian exclaims. (She does have great legs, I admit.) "It's very hard to please Brian," a second female anchor jokes. And then Brian, who sounds like a great guy, announces, "If I were to run for office, I would run on a pro-skirt platform. I am firmly behind the skirts." Another male anchor adds, "You're firmly behind the skirts? Is that what you just said?" At this point, the second female anchor interjects, a bit sternly, "I think you should stop now." Uhhhh...yeah. What's interesting here is that Earhardt said not "we don't wear pants," but "we don't wear the pants."

More of a do it or die situation and I can tell you for sure that I still blame myself to this day.

POPSCollege RAPE: 20% to 25% Statistics: LATimes "A 2006 survey of sorority women at the University of Virginia, for example, found that only 23% of the subjects whom the survey characterized as rape victims felt that they had been raped -- a result that the university's director of sexual and domestic violence services calls "discouraging." Equally damning was a 2000 campus rape study conducted under the aegis of the Department of Justice. Sixty-five percent of those whom the researchers called "completed rape" victims and three-quarters of "attempted rape" victims said that they did not think that their experiences were "serious enough to report." ...LATimes

POPSAs family movies draw crowds, film makers see gold in G and PG ratings I'm not sure I agree with the first sentence but I'm glad to hear this if it's true.
