On 'Net Naked News, a Toronto-based Web site, has signed its first male newscaster to do the news in the nude. All of the newscasters until Lucas Tyler was hired were females. He tells USA Today that he's never thought of all the potentially embarrassing things that could happen to a naked guy in front of a camera. Tyler is a former investment adviser for a major Canadian bank. The newspaper reports that Tyler will be joined by another man at the end of the month.
Auditions are still open.
The Web site receives about 6 million viewers a month. In Russia, a newscaster removes articles of clothing while doing the news. By the end of the newscast, she's down to her lingerie. Then comes a commercial. Afterward, she's back for the sports segment clad only in a Las Vegas-style costume, which comes off quickly and discreetly.
