Hetero men in favour of mini skirt ban..........

You're right .. I've never really thought of that before. Why do they do that? What are they trying to convey?

Sad memories of how it used to be, usually.

Aha, yes. Understand now.

Aha, yes. Understand now.

It's a classic set up shot. I think if you work in local telly for long, you probably get the creativity knocked out of you.

Local news is also the prime habitat of the "swift expression change" - sad to funny, or more entertainingly, but rarer, funny to sad. Finish a story about skateboarding ducks and then have to introduce a murder story....

.. could it be down to the endless procession of "I don't know anything about it, but I reckon" style interviews they have to carry out with people on the street?

.......if these two are anything to go by.

Oh my giddy Aunt.

Some people are too quick to engage with the press without the use of a publicist.

What an horrendous spectacle. I think the saying 'If you want to know what your wife will look like in 30 years, look at her mum' is now redundant and replaced with, 'If you want to know what your wife will look like now, look at her mum'

Bleurgh

I love the classic local paper/tabloid photography though.

I must admit, I thought it was a spoof story.

I still can't help but feel there's a 'nudge nudge wink wink' angle to it... one that seems to have been taken up here.

But back to Arch's point; yes, sadly I reckon many journalists are either too pressed for time and/or too limited in their own capabilities to present a story in anything other than a clichéd way (or perhaps the DM's editorial policy??)

Well, it raises a potent question really... remember The Police and "Don't Stand So Close To Me" and Boomtown Rats "Mary of the Fourth Form"... both songs raise the issue of male teachers being the reluctant recipients of attention from girls who are in the process of becoming women... today, male teachers run a very real risk of losing everything if accusations are made against them.
It's also a common feature of male-oriented pornography, the whole "is she a schoolie or isn't she- wearing tiny red kilt-like skirts and sucking a lollipop" type thing. Most men won't admit (in conversation, or even to themselves) to thinking "phwooar" when they see an attractive 15-16yr old, but most probably do...Back to the question... yes, short skirts are inappropriate, especially to protect the professionalism of male teachers.

I do to friends - it amazes me at times how a yooung girl of this age group can look soo appealing yet not be !

Lets face facts.

In certain cultures on this planet kids (in our culture) are having kids themselves...

So are you saying fnaar you check out these girlies ???????

I perfectly understand why they'd ban mini-skirts
