In their pursuit of "credible" and "informative" news stories, KABC in Los Angeles decided to assign one of their most attractive reporters to do some hard-hitting journalism last night -- at the re-opening of L.A. strip joint, The Body Shop.

There is no dollar value on the safety of the women in the exotic dancing industry.

Phew, I thought that poor woman in the picture was being impaled.
Hard-hitting investigative journalism. If only KNBC had run this story, then Chuck Henry would have been engulfed by strippers.
KABC may just be the worst local news in LA........
You may get 8 to 10 minutes of actual news at the top of the hour before they go to taco recipes or how to get a better tan.......
Bottoms up..!
a sign that an article is not newsworthy or is too petty to report is the lack of comments in response to the article.
A lot has changed in the past 25 years!
Back in the 80's it was difficult to find a strip club period, much less a strip club that had hot, attractive women!
Back then the only women that wanted to strip were the ones who should have kept their clothes on.
Now you cannot go anywhere without running into one.
Uh, what streets are you hanging out on? I'm obviously in the wrong neighborhood.
Congrats on the big opening! ; )
ROTFLMAO!
Eeeeewwwww
It must be sweeps week.
I admit it's anything but "hard news", and I rail against it at times, but I have to admit it's a no-brainer ratings play.
I keep wishing and hoping that pole dancing becomes an Olympic event. So many beautiful women from all over the world.....
so i live in LA, watch this station and didn't even know The Body Shop was closed to begin with...
There was a fire a long time ago.
Subha! She used to be at my local ABC affiliate and I was wondering why I hadn't been seeing her on the news. I guess covering strip clubs isn't as depressing as having to do story after story on foreclosures in the valley.
God, Subha is GORGEOUS! I wish she was doing her report "undercover". I'd love to see her go bottom up! She'd make some serious cheese cake at the Body Shop, Seven Veils or otherwise! B/t/w: There's better, more pertinent news to cover in L.A. but I wouldn't mind another gander at Subha!
Hey, at least she's still got a job.
I can understand why this story would be funny at first, but ... it's just a job. I mean, what's the difference between doing a story on this and some other type of business that's reopening after a devastating fire? Just because it's naked women means that it's silly and bad reporting?
I think it is legitimate to broadcast stories during the local news broadcast about community issues, events, etc. I don't think that the women who work at The Body Shop should be excluded from the community simply because they're exotic dancers.
Is this where the drinking term “bottoms up” originated?
