Threatening letters complain about cheerleaders, female athletes on TV

Certain cameramen? I would say 8 out of 10 of 'em do it. It's like standard operating procedure. :

It's one of those things I never had the energy or inclination to say anything about.

I do think the problem will work itself out as more women make their way into trucks.

 

Anyone remember the Athens Olympics? Remember how the AP/Reuters photogs would focus on the butts of beach volleyball players and send photos cropped conveniently to show only the barely covered booties? I remember those photos quite well, actually.

I also remember thinking it was kind of creepy that dozens of butt shots were crossing the wire with the photo editors knowing those were pretty much just for their personal joy and would never appear in a vast majority of the newspapers they were sending them to.

It's gotta be the damn rap music.

 

I've heard several radio outlets picking up this story today. Any more details yet?

 

The story was in USA Today this morning, but it didn't seem to have an update.

 

Thanks.

Just heard that the FBI is offering a $5K reward for helping in tracking down the letter-writer

 

According to tonight's latest AP update, the letters threatened "88 people to be shot."

Maybe the sender thought it was a big yuk-yuk back in November and December and January and February when they sent 'em, but one thing's sure now: the cops are coming to get them, and they're bringing an ass-kicking along with 'em.

 

Good. This person needs help. And anyone threatening 88 shootings needs an ass kicking
