Just an observation
Permalink  

I was just talking to Riggs and something came to my attention. The opening page to Freeze-Frame Radio has always displayed ....oh how do I say...... women that aren't afraid to show off their "assets". I have yet to see a male artist or songwriter on the front page. When this was brought to the attention of the station manager (Riggs) he began explaining that you never see hot guys advertising a rock (music) station. I tried to explain that it is a little biased. Just havin' a little fun, what do the ladies think?confused

Actually Jenn, both Tim McGraw and Michael Buble have spent time on the first page, but admittedly their stay was short.

Dear...as much as I value your input, my question was clearly directed towards the women. We already know how the men feel about this topicevileye

Sorry, I had to stop in one more time.

The VERY first of the rotating images (and one that will return time and again) was of Steve Tyler.  That one was there for TWO MONTHS!

I rest my case biggrin.gif

 Oh come on now, he was there with one babe, not "babes".  If I could have photo-shopped her out I would have, but I just don't have the technical skills to pull off such a feat. hmm.gif  Whatcha gonna do? confused.gif

None taken.

But I hafta admit, it'll be a cold day in hell before you see me post some beefy shirtless dude on the first page.

I can deal with the accusations of sexism. I got thick skin. nod.gif

I'm just sayin' that there should be a healthy balance of men and women for ALL of your listeners. If you put up Steven Tyler then you should also put up Bette Midler!

We've had Patty Smyth (with quite a bit of clothing on I might add) and Faith Hill. So classy women are being represented.

Besides, why penalize these models for their healthy bodies? They work hard to maintain those figures! They don't get to go to McDonalds, or have candy bars. The least we can do is appreciate their efforts and during football playoffs let em' be on our home page.

Look, they're holding footballs, that makes em' relevant biggrin.gif

no.gif oh baby....i see that you are really trying to defend your case, but you should probably go back and hang out in THE MEN ONLY THREAD. No one is buyin' that load of doo! If we are gonna respect a woman's body then we should also respect a man's body! Balance!smile

Furthermore, how can you POSSIBLY raise a stink?  Have you SEEN your own avatar?  I see more breastage there than I've ever seen on the home page!

Riiiiiight...and makeup, air brushing photos, and plastic surgery have nothing to do with our misconceptions of beauty or the photos we see here. Uh uh.

I can tell you G-Gal, with 100% certainty, that those photos are completely authentic.

Trust me. Would I lie to you? confused.gif

I actually loved the Steven Tyler one! I also thought the Patty Smyth one was appropriate because it was so very Riggs. However I believe the pics should be at least music related to the station. I'm not feeling the Lingerie Bowl no.gif

I don't mind the pics, the only draw back is when someone walks into my office and wonder what kind of prevert I am when they see them. Er....uh....not that I constantly have the front page up or anything. biggrin.gif

 I REALLY have that problem here and even someone in my office asked me what I was looking at! And I do mind the pix, but the is my opinion, and I have been keeping it myself!

I'm pretty lenient when it comes to seeing skin, but, yeah, the Lingerie Bowl is kind of pushing it for the front page of a radio station. 

I liked the Steven Tyler one too!

JR, just break down and humor the girls every once in a while.  How about a picture of Jon Bon Jovi on the front page for a while.  Any women here disagree with that?

I never even see the home page. I have the owners page bookmarked so I just go directly there. I didn't even know what was on the home page.
