One track minds

Ladies, I doubt this one will shock you:

According to a study conducted by the European society of psychoanalysis and psychodynamics, male viewers tend to have difficulties comprehending news when a pretty woman is on screen.

Three fourths of 1500 of respondents could not recall the first minute of the monologue; all their attention has been driven to admire the beauty of the female anchor. Only 40% of men were able to recall the program's highlights. At the same time, more than a half of those who stated this admitted that they have been constantly distracted by the movement of sensual arousing lips of the anchor, thus being unable to perceive the meaning of the words.

Just as a comparison: If a female anchor looked more like a nerd, wearing no makeup/lipstick, the same amount of information would have been better comprehended by 76% of people in general and 86% of men in particular.

You Said

As a male, I will admit to this condition. Don't really see it as a problem though....

Actually, I always thought I paid *more* attention when I used to get my news from The Naked News (NSFW, of course, of course) then when I watched the regular network variety (but then, I wasn't being tested under laboratory conditions either...)

Hey, what's wrong with female nerds :-) I want to see MORE of them!

I have no issues knowing what the news is while watching FoxNews' Lauri Dhue deliver it :)

Yet another case for NPR.

...except Mara Liason.

Rawr.
