They read off of a teleprompter and wave their hands, occasionally they make Nostradamus like predictions, (because some work in Phoenix or Seattle), and their resume includes 2 things: a made up name and a glamor shot. Here they are for your enjoyment: 20 Ridiculous Real Weathermen Names…or meteorologists if you want to be all scientific.

The only reason to watch the local evening news is the utterly gorgeous weather lady, unless you’re interested in the drug bust / cat infestation that sent three helicopters to your block last night. Yes, she probably did graduate summa cum laude in Atmospheric Sciences from Texas A&M. But who cares?

1. Jackie Johnson. She is my local Channel 9 weather woman and she has already saved me and my girlfriend a very inconvenient trip into the center of a hurricane. And this is exactly why I keep watching Jackie.

2. Sugey Abrego. This Matutino Express show spends about 57 minutes with Sugey’s weather report every day, which is absolutely justified given her large bust size and absurdly casual attire.

3. Mónica Escamilla. It seems as if it is about 85 degrees in the television studio when she delivers her report.

4. Jackie Guerrido. Ay, caray, the Spanish-speaking countries really have great weather reporting.

5. Valentina Avanzi. Italian television stations use runway models to deliver information about the weather. Thankfully, the viewers never notice that she’s reading from a card, and don’t care that the weather graphics look like an Age of Empires campaign.

6. Eva Berberian. The French would naturally also hire runway models, but it seems that Eva has a far better grasp on the subject of weather than Valentina.

Well, there you have it. We’ve watched the most gorgeous ladies of weather and still don’t know if it is going to rain tomorrow.

America loves game shows because we love people who make fools of themselves while trying really hard to win cash that they don’t deserve. It’s all very similar to a skeezy politician wooing voters and committing an embarrassing gaffe.

I digress…Our list of the week comes today from PWNtheNET.com, and its a compilation of recent failures on Wheel of Fortune. You really can’t miss this one: Link

“ALL YOU CAN EAT TACO BAR!” 

Each February we celebrate Black History. We remember the great trailblazers of the African-American community such as Martin Luther King, Jackie Robinson, and Rosa Parks. February is the month to celebrate the accomplishments of these historic individuals because of their accomplishments and the acclaim they brought to their community.
