In the US, if you buy a &#8220;Teen Whores Covered in Cum Volume 8&#8243; DVD, you&#8217;ll get them covered in cum, sure, but they&#8217;ll be at least 28 years old and probably 11 years into a cocaine habit.  I didn&#8217;t know Taiwan is the place that fantasy becomes reality.  That&#8217;s kind of a scary thought.  Sure, it&#8217;s sexy to think of an army of blonde nymphomaniacs who never let me rest in my dreams, but if I saw them in reality I&#8217;d end up being put on a pinball machine like Jodie Foster in The Accused with a penis full of STDs and a thirst for a neverending stream of rape showers.  And that&#8217;s not even touching on the sodomy I like to dabble in during dreams&#8230;I&#8217;m just not ready to address that in the real world yet.

Long block quote below, but an interesting story so bear with me.  Or look at her big mom boobs, whatever.</p><p><center><a target="_blank" href="http://blogofhilarity.com/wp-content/uploads/image2.php?image=610x.jpg" ><img src="http://cdn.guyism.com/wp-content/uploads/610x-540x404.jpg" alt="" title="Swimming Reporter" width="540" height="404" class="alignnone size-thumbnail wp-image-2892" /></a></center></p><blockquote><p>The former WMAQ-Ch. 5 reporter is seeking more than $1 million in damages from WBBM-Ch. 2 parent CBS, Channel 2 boss Joe Ahern and others, complaining that a tape it aired of her in bathing attire at the home of a potential news source in July 2007 subjected Jacobson to &#8220;enormous public humiliation and disgrace.&#8221;</p><p>Jacobson wound up losing her TV job and, eventually, her home, according to the suit filed Monday in Cook County by attorney Kathleen Zellner on behalf of Jacobson, husband Jaime Anglada and their two children, all of whom alleged to have &#8220;suffered from observing the devastating effects on the person they love most.&#8221;</p><p>Jacobson&#8217;s suit, which states &#8220;some would say&#8221; she was &#8220;the best in the business&#8221; before the July 5, 2007, incident was recorded by Channel 2, alleges the station never should have shot the video, should never have aired it and should not have edited it the way it did.</p><p>The suit asserts Channel 2 portrayed her as &#8220;an adulteress and disreputable reporter&#8221; and said the station leaked word of the tape to newspapers, leading to published reports it used to justify airing the video.</p><p>Jacobson has said she originally intended to take her kids swimming at Chicago&#8217;s East Bank Club before she detoured to the Plainfield home of Craig Stebic, whose wife had vanished two months earlier and remains missing to this day, at the invitation of Stebic&#8217;s sister.</p><p>Whatever journalistic splash Jacobson had hoped to make by Stebic&#8217;s pool by ingratiating herself with potential sources instead resulted in the self-inflicted sting of a belly flop, reported everywhere from England to Australia. Even Geraldo Rivera weighed in, decrying her ethics and calling her dismissal &#8220;a no-brainer&#8221; on Fox News Channel.</p><p>Sources told the Chicago Tribune last year that Jacobson&#8217;s decision to brief police on her interaction with Stebic, without telling her WMAQ bosses, played a role in her ouster. That breach of standards, which made her a part of a story she was covering, one she had been warned she was getting too close to, was just the latest incident to cause bosses to lose their confidence in Jacobson&#8217;s judgment, the sources said.</p><p>While one Chicago TV executive at the time called Jacobson&#8217;s misstep &#8220;egregious,&#8221; another said she might have survived it had it not been for an accumulation of incidents.</p></blockquote><p>I can&#8217;t really tell if she&#8217;s hot, but if I were a dude who just killed my wife and pretended she went missing, I prooooobably wouldn&#8217;t be able to go out and get tail too often.  Kind of blows your cover a bit.</p><p>I can definitely relate to Amy though.  When you&#8217;re a serious investigative reporter like us, sometimes you have to put yourself in awkward situations for the news.  Sometimes it&#8217;s appearing at a dude&#8217;s place with your boobs flopping around, sometimes it&#8217;s taking a load on the chin.  It&#8217;s like that guy who gives me free access to videos on YouTube.  He said he was the heir to YouTube&#8230;his name is like Johnny Youtubener.  Man, the things I&#8217;ve had to do for access to their videos.  Wait.  YouTube videos are free for everyone?  What?  Are you serious?  Fuck.  I swore this wouldn&#8217;t happen again after that guy in the restroom gave me a paper towel and said he didn&#8217;t do that for everyone..that I was special.  DAMMIT JULIO.  YOU AND YOUR SWEET SWEET LIES.</p> ]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://guyism.com/2008/07/amy-jacobson-has-big-boobs-and-does-not-want-you-to-question-them.html/feed</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>4</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
