It's kind of sad that on a day Anjeanette Damon is seriously doing a kick-ass job blogging Nevada's legislative showdown, her employer, the Reno Gazette Journal, decided to have "Ask a Male Stripper" and the ubiquitous Metromix T&A pics (in this case, the Stiletto Bordello party) above the fold on their website.
Granted, while we're awfully fond of Holly, Ali, Kate, et al. and their red-light stylings, would it have been that difficult for the RGJ to put Damon's breaking posts front and center? After all, isn't that what newspapers brag about providing so much better than anyone else -- real news, not Maxim-esque pictorials.

Isn't that the truth. A friend of mine coined the term RGJ Boobdex, as in today's boobdex is [number of boobs on the front page of the site]. The last point is, of course the better one in the bigger picture. Every time I read that there will be no one to fill the void when newspapers are gone, I'll think f the bobbdex.
It's sad, but I've basically given up on the RGJ site. With all the damn ads and a search function that is virtually useless, it's really a waste of time, unless I want to check in on the latest Boobdex. Thinking about it, maybe they should just emulate The Sun completely and have a daily Page Three girl, except, of course in the RGJ's case it would be the Page One Girl.
