Katie Couric Scores 45 To Lead Women To Victory

pwddmac: hey, shouldn’t you be out celebrating?

anonymous reader: celebrating?
pwddmac: the metro front page said “LANDMARK BROADCAST SEEN AS A VICTORY FOR WOMEN” re: katie couric
pwddmac: i figured you’d be so happy with your victory you would have taken off work to celebrate.
reader: katie couric is a victory?
pwddmac: apparently
reader: wow, a milf with fabulous legs is doing the nightly news. what a coup.
reader: i had no idea. i’m a bad feminist.
pwddmac: if it’s a victory for women, does that mean we men lost?
pwddmac: shit!
pwddmac: oh well, i’m a philadelphia sports fan, i’m used to it.
reader: suckers. have fun with charlie gibson, losers!
pwddmac: ha ha, elizabeth vargas got fired because she was pregnant
pwddmac: did you watch it? it was pretty bad, although i do like katie couric.
pwddmac: she didn’t even have a signoff!
pwddmac: and they then showed a clip of famous signoffs, including ron burgundy
pwddmac: then they showed her legs
pwddmac: (a victory for men!)
reader: no, i didn’t watch it
reader: i’m only watching the today show now that katie couric is off of it, actually.
reader: her interviews make me cringe.
pwddmac: really? even when she made fun of tom cruise for not knowing what the word “glib” meant?
reader: that was probably the only time i’ve liked her
pwddmac: hm. so i guess last night’s broadcast wasn’t a victory for you, then.
reader: ha, not so much.
pwddmac: looks like we men win again!
reader: ha. how much of a victory can it be for women when the only reason she got the job is that she’s (relatively) attractive?!
pwddmac: hey, it’s not just the headline. vice president of philadelphia’s beholder productions, emelia andrews, said “we’re all just ecstatic”
pwddmac: looks like you lose your woman journalist license!
reader: as in “beauty is in the eye of the beholder????”
reader: yeah, i’m about to turn in my feminism card, too, if this is a “victory”
pwddmac: okay, back to ogling soledad o’brien
