They have sunk to new lows....Chris Chianelli would turn in his grave...
Reading through my email this morning, I noticed a spam from Air Age Publications (the folks who bring you all sorts of RC magazines). The ad was for a new RC television show. I bit and clicked the link.
YIKES!!!
You be the judge, but I was mortified that Air Age thinks we will watch their show just to see a 21 year old girl with shapely breasts. Seriously, that is ALL she brings to the party. Watching her eyes dart back and forth over the teleprompter and seemingly understanding nothing that she was reading, I watched with my jaw on the desk (and not because of the hooters). Send her back to broadcast school for lessons in reading copy like you mean it. PLEASE. Chris Chianelli was great. This is an insult to his legacy.

Truly amateurish. Now if she was reading the teleprompter in a G-String Bikini, I would probably be able to handle the production quality.

I wonder what she did with all the money she saved by not taking acting lessons.

Didnt really bother me at all, to begin with nothing "featured" on the show interested me( i just scanned it), and if it did i am more than able to look past the bad performance......Example...If it was a 42% scale aerobatic Yak/Extra/Sukhoi with a 3W 170 , Id be glued regardless of, performance, hooters, cleavage...etc

the actual preview as it was, didn't bother me as much as nothing was of interest to me either. as far as it being an embarrassment to its sponsor, i think the sponsor is its own embarrassment. any time an rc show pops on tv i will watch and be a silent critic at home. rc has been a big part of my life for over 20 years and i will not lose interest now.-henry

I do think that building is a lost art and I admire guys that can do it, but it's not for everyone and everything that is not built by the modeler is not a piece of garbage or unworthy if it brings joy to that person.
Just my three cents...

Red ... nice comment about lawyers but let's be fair, I mean no one is perfect and we do know of mods here who of late openly called some forumers IGNORANT right?
Sometimes, people do their best to create awareness for their business, they may be crass, they may be on low budgets, they may be ignorant as to what a touch of class is. But thta is no criminal offence. We have no idea why but it is their right to do it. So what if she had shapely breasts? I mean that is what she was born with. At least they did not put her in a bikini or a low cut blouse or even go on air braless. Maybe we should give them the benefit of the doubt and realise these just guys have no real idea what the hobbyist want and they also were on a low budget. Does that give us a right to hammer them?
Anyone commented about Aeroworks using well endowed women for their ads? Anyone ever commented on Mrs Seb showing her cleavage on the boxes and the website? Are we being fair?

I have no problem with attractive models promoting product. BUT, photographs are one thing. If you want to put someone on camera, try to get someone who is both attractive AND capable of speaking with conviction, understanding and intelligence. Just watch FoxNews and you'll know exactly what I mean.

I started to explain my feeling about this, but since there are some here who are waiting for me to do so, so that they can take exception to my reply, I'll just leave them salivating.

this wold probably be an A for a college students project but is this supposed to be aired? I would be ashamed to admit I'm into RC is someone approached me about this shows legitimacy, especially when it calls off the shelf edf's jets the hotest thing in RC.
