as most of us are aware, meteorologists are frequently wrong. They provide erroneous information to the public and get away with it week after week, occasionally hitting it on the money and getting a brief boost of credibility. The weathergirl is a scapegoat that is used to deliver news to the public that will most likely be wrong, but most of the time the public is too busy staring at the weathergirl and drooling over her to even hear the report.
"Hey Blake we have a new applicant for the news room."
"Ah that's great- journalism degree? Photogenic?"
"Well Blake, she is photogenic...if you know what I mean..hehehe"
"Ahh- so she's hot is she? Send her over to meteorology- the boys need a new weathergirl scapegoat."
"She was set on being a journalist sir..but whatever you say."
The problem is that people want bad news given by a good looking person- so when the news has to be broken by the meteorologists that it is going to be pissing down rain for a week straight the weathergirl is summoned to deliver it.

The problem here is not only that the weathergirl is going to continuously lose her dreams of being a journalist because of the need for a meteorology scapegoat, but that the "dumb blonde" stereotype will continue to survive. Can we stop the meteorologists on their crazy escapades before it is too late?
