Hottie TV UPDATE!

--------------------

Few knew the "Battle of the Media Hotties" contest which ends just hours from now (Midnight Friday) was so important to fellow broadcaster Darren McGinty? He slipped into a comfortable lead and I resigned myself to a crushing defeat fair and square.

But then ... came the blog entry. Animals in compromising positions. Pictures of me that would make Perezhilton proud. And now ... outright begging on the front page of their website. My response ... captured in this moment during last nights Newsedge at 11.

Fight back for the Wisconsin Ave microcosm of "hottness" and vote here: http://www.dcrtv.com/hotties.html

A local media website is scrounging for hits by using unsuspecting on-air types in a Battle of the Media Hotties. This week's throw down pits me against Derek McGinty at Ch. 9. All week I've ignored the web traffic generator ... it's hard to get up for these ballot box stuffing exercises. But Derek's started the smack talk ...  so now it's on!

In case you're curious. This is a picture of the competition.

 

 

 

 

As he declared in his blog ... it's personal! Here's the link. Please click and vote!  We only have until 12 noon tomorrow ... Friday. Send it to your friends ... co-workers ... family ... anyone who's interested in justice, fairness and our little microcosm of "hottness."

Well, you got my vote, but you need to get busy and recruit some more. Put it on the scroll at the beginning of the website.

By the way, Derek has come a long way since his days on Channel 8. He was always lit incorrectly and looked like he was being electrocuted. But in a battle of the hotties, you should win. Go Brian!

You had quite a deficit yesterday, but based on the numbers at 7 this morning, you might be able to push through.

You definitely received my vote. GOOD LUCK!

We did it! A triumphant win of good versus evil ... a powerful blow to smack talk everywhere! With 1500 votes ... you brought in a 51% to 49% victory. Thank you ... thank you ... thank you! The contest was silly we all admit ... but the principled prevailed in this instance. We'll keep you posted when (as in never) the gracious and contrite concession speech comes to our inbox. You guys rocked it ... thank you again!

The triumph of truth over hype is its own reward, Mr. Brian. Don't expect an apology from your competitor; just bask in your well-earned hottieness! We're proud of your win!

You should have a contest for all the Fox
Stations, make it for charity and see how much money you can collect. Just an idea.

Haha congrats on your win! You would have had my vote, but I just read your blog today. :)

I enjoy watching Fox 5, I get lots of ideas for stories and photography work from you guys. Interestingly, you guys just covered a story that we covered today...Dog nursing a kitten. It sure was...interesting!

You're so kind! Thankfully that silly contest is over. We had to rally to beat that smacktalker at Ch. 9 ... but it worked.
