Stay classy Arizona Republic

not being a dick to you, dog, but who fucking cares?

we're supposed to be journalists with a shred of dignity ... not tits and ass outlets.

 

I agree with you, home-diggity. But as desperate as papers are getting, I'm not surprised. I think we (not you and I, but SJ) went through this subject last year around Spring Break.

It's just another link in the chain where the scumbags are more worried about the $$$ and not the dignity and integrity.

 

home-diggity. i like that.

 

There's even less reason to pay to see boobs on the internet than there is to pay for news.

 

Man just saw the names of the pictures... "Like a sexy Where's Waldo?" for the last one on Saturday -- classy!

 

That rag still carrying Dan Quayle's column?

Low expectations reign.

 

YOU ONLY COVER US WHEN WE'RE HALF-NAKED WITH ALCOHOL POISONING!

 

does anybody know where the stories were played? I think that makes somewhat of a difference in our discussion.

It ain't 1A. But what's wrong with a fluffy features front? I've seen more boring shit.

And I'll give you it might hurt dignity, but integrity? Unless the photos were staged, wtf?

I'd rather run shit like this and everybody still have jobs. Maybe y'all have an extra bedroom in your ivory towers.

 

"We're desperate for hits. Let's run a soft porn Lake Havasu spring break series. It'll be awesome!"

 

Screw the photo gallery - there is video.

And maybe I'm wrong, but is that girl topless at the 45 second mark? (not the one with big boobs, but the one that is the president of the IBTC.

 

Yes, our dignity is indeed shredded.

 

Two of the biggest spring break destinations out west are in the Republic's circulation area -- Havasu and Rocky Point -- so I don't totally object to doing these stories. Sure, a little sleazy, I suppose. But it's not like they're going to Panama City to do these stories.

Spent a Memorial Day out on Havasu once. Whoever said Douchebag Lake is right. But Havasu is notorious for that. Would much rather spend a weekend out on Saguaro Lake. More high-class douchebaggery there.
