Hey, ESPN or any of you regional sports networks: Instead of plugging junk time with cheerleader championships and gymnastics meets, try scheduling something like competitive pole dancing.
We read a newspaper story about this (since taken behind a paywall -- thanks, Orlando Sentinel) in which practitioners go to great lengths in the story to say that competitive pole dancing is not stripping, although the young woman in the story who's apparently a skilled practitioner of the art plies her trade in a gentlemen's club. But it's not stripping, did they mention that? No matter -- we do not judge.
But we do judge higher ratings and better ad revenue to be good things for TV, so somebody needs to ring up the folks at the U.S. Pole Dancing Federation (yeah, we were surprised there's one of those, too) and sign them to a deal.
Then, look out, "World's Strongest Man" and all those poker telecasts. There's a new girl in town and she's going to take your candy. And she's not a stripper.
