    unlike zipper, roland is an essential bellweather. zipper is a being without any redeeming consequence, save for his own self-indulgence. roland could concievably affect public opinion as a result of his own self-indulgence. we must watch him be an asshole. it helps.

    isn’t Canada were the “naked new’s” comes from. If it is they don’t seem very ugly. Not that I’ve ever been to that site, Nope not me, I’ve just heard, yeah that’s it.

    As turoc15 stated, all the presentable reporters/anchors of Canada (such as Hilary Bowker, Peter Jennings, Sheila McVicar…) tend to head south leaving only the uglies/inarticulates such as Harvey Kirck, Knowlton Nash and Peter Mansbridge to “service” home.

    But Roland should be perfect for ANY show-biz job, including teevee “news.” He has two essential qualifications: He never ages and he’s as thick as two planks.

    Both Zipper and Roland are reflections of different segments of Americans.

    I suspect that GT will stop using then if they ever lack relevance.

    May we get to that day before the cockroaches take over.

    zipper/zonker represent the clueless slackers, right? So what does Roland represent?

    By the way, I’m wondering what XXX material looks like in HD? I am not hd yet.

    i said canadian reporter presenters might be homely.

    but but i never said inarticulate.

    although one radio babe tried to say ‘denigrated’

    about three times in a story relating to some nsnbc goof

    comment about canada’s role in afghanistan.

    4th try,she got out “denenigrated”and seemed to be

    pleased with the result.

    idiots without borders.

    Actually, I’ve read that adult actresses are not too happy with the new Blu-ray technology for the same reason as Roland.

    Technology caused the problem, technology can fix it. A skin smoothing app is all that’s required.

    The canuck pretties become newseys, the uglies are actors, or profess to be actors.
