A 10 minute news cast where naked women read the day's top stories and
do the weather, sports and entertainment.  Plus they are Canadians, so
if you have a thing for women who say "a-boot", this is the site for
you.

Here's the Blowfish take on it:

* Caught in the Net

                            Jamais, jamais at blowfish.com

Sometimes a site pops up on my radar that, while not particularly
well-constructed, playful, brilliant, or even erotic, simply captures
the web zeitgeist in a way that makes for required reading. One of those
URLs that will be passed around from friend to friend far more than
actually bookmarked. A site that, simply, is too bad to ignore.

Here's a business plan: get four fairly attractive young women, give
them a daily script of current news events, and videotape them reading
their news scripts while naked. Wait! Too late! It's been done. The
Naked News at, you guessed it, nakednews.com, provides 10 minute news
summaries read by attractive naked women.  World news, domestic (US &
Canadian) news, weather, sports, business, even a commentary at the end
of the show -- it's all there.

And it's serious news, too, albeit in headline format.  There's no sex
or net focus; rather, one could listen to this report every day and have
a sense of what's going on in the world that would, frankly, probably
be better than one would get from most local "news" shows (look! a
squirrel on water skis!). The reports just happen to be read by naked
women.

The site is ad-based, and the streamed video reports have several brief
ad interstitials that would ostensibly take you to other sites when
clicked.

My one complaint about the site is that I couldn't get it to work on my
Mac. The video is streamed in both RealVideo and Windows Media format,
and the RealPlayer and Windows Media Player for Mac both choked on it.
It worked under Windows, though. Sigh.
