Rant/Rave: Cleavage on the Food Network

I appreciate some good cleavage as much as the next guy... but seriously, is it really necessary for a woman to have to show her jugs just to have a cooking show on Food Network? It's getting pretty out of hand on a few shows. I mean, they're blatantly showing off the goods - don't get me wrong, I'm diggin' it, but good lord...

There's a part of me that definitely doesn't mind seeing it, and wants to see more, but another part that makes me feel sorry for these women - who undoubtedly are told by their producers that T&A sells (even cooking shows). As the old song goes "sometimes it's hard to be a woman".

Ahhh, for the days when cooking shows were just about cultural stereotypes. The inbred cajun, the drunk Frenchie, or "Yan can cook". Now those were the glory days of cooking shows.

I don't really mind, but somehow I subconsciously throw a bunch of milk into the recipe when it's not called for.

It's a shame that this trend didn't happen before Julia Child had a chance to be on the Food Network.

Whoa, there's an entire blog devoted to the subject (which shouldn't surprise me).

It really is pretty degrading to women when you think about it.

Mario Batali, Emeril and Jimmy Fallon? Where and when could that possibly be a real combination?

If one eliminates his narration, one could easily imagine that this guy has a toilet seat stuck on his arse.
