It was on fire when I laid down on it.
I know, I was just thinking the same thing!
Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go get ready for my Playboy photo shoot.

Perhaps I should consider a career change, I'm going to apply at Hooters as a waiter. I believe I would look good in orange.

If we aren't "paying" for it, then that's on the station.
However, my brother in law is currently complaining (along with other students) about a professor who is instructing at his college who's accent is very thick and hard to understand. Now in this case, it's a problem since he is paying for his education and if he can't understand the class because of communication, then they need a new professor.

True, I'm not saying that we should be up in arms about this guy - you're right, it's on the station.
I guess what I'm saying is that 1) if I was that guy, I wouldn't choose a career which ACCENTUATED a significant weakness. And 2) if I was the station manager, I wouldn't hire someone who was difficult to understand to announce the weather.
Right this minute, we are under a tornado warning. I have this station tuned in. They just removed that guy from a speaking role and put him on camera duty while a seasoned professional weather guy took over.

I think it's kind of splitting hairs, and ignoring the more obvious problem that weatherman are the only people who can be wrong 90% of the time and still keep their job.

I actually understand what you're saying, but if they want him to do the job, then more power to them. If he's not doing a good enough job and/or ratings are hurting, then they can find someone else.

Well, sure, mball. I can see what you're saying as well. I guess my problem is at least as much with the announcer himself as it is with the TV station. I have to wonder why he thinks that this particular venue is best for him and for his anticipated audience. I mean, I'm an extrovert, love to be on stage, and look pretty good for a 49 year old woman - I could probably sashay down a catwalk with the best of 'em, and I'd certainly have the NERVE to do so. But would that make it a wise career choice? And would I be angry if people responded negatively to me modeling Victoria's Secret thong underwear? Would I expect VS to hire me and back me just because I had a passion for their thong underwear and modeling and thought I should choose that for a career? Or would I be perhaps better suited on some other side of VS product development or marketing?
Now I must very carefully inspect all Victoria's Secret catalogs to see if you make an appearance.

I'm thinking there's a significant percentage of the population that would enjoy seeing you in a thong.

I'm thinking that there's also a percentage of the population with a THANG for morbidly obese people, and who like for people to pee on them during, errr, intimate acts, and who like to eat live goldfish, and who enjoy sticking safety pins under their skin, and who wear flip flops all year long, even in the snow (hopefully not all at the same time)...
That being said, even the significant percentage of the population who may think they want to see me in a thong...would probably be quite dissappointed when they actually saw me sashay across a room in one!!!
I know my strengths and weaknesses. It's like I told the saleswoman the last time I bought a bathing suit, "I want to see something which maximizes my assets and limits my liabilities." I guess I figure this weatherman would be prudent to take the same approach.

I'm a little slow....are you saying your girlish figure has a speech impediment?
Kathryn

Here's the difference between me and the weatherman (well, one of the differences...actually there are quite a few...):
I can put more clothes on and with every diaphanous layer I just look better and better. But apparently a nicely cut suit does nothing for his speech impediment.

I seriously doubt equal opportunity factors would enter into the hiring. Because appearance, which would included one's manner of delivery, impacts station revenue---the viewer #/ad revenue relationship---I think good speech would be a BFOQ. I can easily see viewers being put off by a speech impediment and changing channels because of it. Therefore my guess is that he was hired because of a special relationship he has with someone in the decision making chair of the station.
