-- reader Bullhead, in a comment about The Indianapolis Star's Metromix slideshow of Colts cheerleaders, featured right now on the paper's homepage. Here's a screenshot:

  1. The human body is a natural and beautiful thing, and surely ranks as one of God's most glorious creations. Especially big bazookas.

  2. That's pornography? You can see that at any beach or public pool (or professional cheerleader tryout). Hell, you can see more than that on network TV - and that's just in the commercials.

    America needs to loosen up a bit.

  3. I think "bullhead" needs a little less bull, and a lot more head!

  7. My journalism professor used to say "Give 'em a little cheesecake." Looks like the Star is paying heed to his advice.

  8. While I know these bring in a creepy number of page views - the spring break photo gallerias on almost every gannett site showing high school/college girls in florida and texas was a bit much.

Please keep your posts focused on Gannett and media-related subjects. Note that I occasionally review comments in advance, to reject inappropriate ones. And I ignore hostile posters, and recommend you do, too."
