How is it possible to get a WORSE news caster than pico? I mean that girl is horrible at delivering news. She sounds so unnatural, so when I saw that it was a new girl I thought: Maybe something better.
Well that's not true. I actually thought: "Woop-ti-fucking-do, another girl" first, but another besides the point.
So I hear the first few seconds of her speaking, and yay! She sounds more natural, like an actual news caster might. But then.... Oh the horror. Those minutes of Curse Weekly Update was even worse too look at than all of pico's combined.
First: The sexy act. I mean wtf? First off she's not that sexy, secondly YOU ARE DELIVERING FUCKING NEWS. Stop acting like a call-girl trying to get customers. Seriously. A little professionalism please.
Second: God oh god, stop saying tiny "yay" or "sadface"... It really put me off, and honestly it just isn't something anyone would wanna see or hear in a news cast. They wanna hear some news about the gaming world, not that you didn't get a beta key for GW2 and therefore apparently has a sadface...
So curse: Do me a favor. Either get a guy who knows how to actually broadcast, or if just by god have to stick to these awful females, get one that actually isn't an complete idiot.
Lastly:
I'll put this up for discussion. Watch the clip. Give your comment below on what you thought of it. Ignore my post mostly regarding to the harsh language, cause I'm really just upset over such a bad performance.
So let your voice be heard. Debate. I would like to hear others opinions on the matter
ps. I've added a poll, so that you may vote on which you prefer.
I don't check the newscasts. I like stuff in print so I can read what I want, skip what I don't and move through things at my own pace.
But this sounds like the same problem I've been noticing in real news. Used to, people had to have skills to be a news anchor. Now they just pick a guy and a girl, who look young attractive and make a nice matched set on camera. Then tbey read from a teleprompter, and if they ever say anything spontaneous they are clearly clueless and have no idea what they are talking about (even though they have been reading news of a teleprompter for years and should be up on events.)
So yeh, news should be about information. Not about attractiveness, sexiness, or being "hip." But please don't make this about gender. The only reason clueless airhead spokespeople in the video game industry happen to be female, is that the percieved audience is largely male. In news geared to the general public, they have plenty of equally airheaded i-should-have-been-a-model-but-I'm-a-journalist/metereologist male counterparts.
Don't watch these videos. I will say this though - I noticed she started showing up after Blizzcon. There was a thread on MMO champion about how everyone thought she was so hot. Then bam she show's up in the curse weekly videos! Good job Curse reeling in all the virgins to watch your shitty weekly update video.
She's honestly like a 4.5/10. Maybe 6/10 but I think that may be a little too generous.
After that Blizzcon 2011 video I think Pico is the shit.
Edit: I think the OPs problem is he must be some young kid that has been brought up in this new breed of internet cynics...and if not then yea hes probably a virgin or something close to that.
This thread should win some sort of award for the most ad hominem attacks over an issue nobody cares about. While I don't generally watch the videos, I marginally prefer Pico though Lindsay is fine too. Pico's fashion sense makes me blink in confusion sometimes though, but I'm probably just old.

...and if you disagree with me, you're probably <insert random ad hominem attack here>.
I <3 Pico. Yeah, she isn't the best in front of a camera, but it is clear she is having fun and honestly that is the most needed thing, to me, if you're gonna do news about gaming.

Also, if they really did ditch Pico over people's comments... Harsh!

I like Pico more than Lindsay, though.
