Hot Sluts Are The One Thing Fox Business Can Do Right And They Can’t Even Do That

By


And yet, despite the fact that the strippers they had on “Happy Hour” yesterday weren’t nearly as good looking as FB’s anchors, I still enjoyed the segment, for these reasons:
- “Sprites and vodkas”
- The strippers don’t get stools.
- Cody not letting the “sales are up 98 percent” comment fly.
- This exchange: “I understand your stock has a double d top…that was a joke.” “Yeah…I got it.”
- The blonde nodding her head pensively to Cody’s insights.
- The absence of Rebecca, for contractual reasons (“The only hooch at the bar is me. It’s in my contract.”)

      I used to work for “Deja Light”, a “gentleman’s club” in Houston while going to school. I was the “accountant”. A greek guy owned it.
      If you have ever worked in that sort of business you would know that there are drugs, prostitution, alcoholic excesses and rampant collaborative fraud re expenses.
      Of course, that experience is why I fit in so well in finance/trading these days.

      Hes not their ideal customer because there were no dudes there.
      Seriously, FBN is the lowest common denominator right?? Who would watch this and think they have anything constructive to say about the markets??
      Probably the same people who watch Cramer, the guy who loved BSC at 100

      Wow, you can get strip clubs for 3-5x EBITDA? That’s amazing, no wonder they’re rolling up everything in sight.
      They definitely need better-looking strippers though…

      @11:26. The first (and only) day I watched Happy Hour and FBN, I posted that they should offer wet T-shirt contest (since it was a bar). Roger or Ruppie never took me up on the idea.

      FOX had a chance to be competitive with CNBC which has become almost unwatchable…and then FBN is equally unwatchable…who produces and directs the crap…the camera work is terrible..glick is pretty until she starts screeching…the abrasive blonde and avuncular old boring dude in the a.m. suck…we have to keep switching to ESPN to avoid throwing coffee mugs at the tvs.

      The stripper in the red dress went to shake Cody’s hand at the end and he totally dissed her! She’s probably tar and feathering herself as I type “I got dissed by that sprite and vodka drinking bastard!! life just isn’t worth it anymore!!”
