'80s Weather Lady Has Some Depressing News

Definitely watch this:

It's apparently a commercial for a Christian charity. I like that they reeled the audience in with the most boring possible premise: a weather report. That'll get 'em! And why is she trying to act, like, sexy? I watch Katie Couric every night (I don't know why, either) and aside from inauguration stuff it's basically exactly as depressing as this lately. (Thanks to Sarah for the tip.)

does anybody else, at least in their heads, pronounce this site "Vid-ya-gum"? think of it like how Hank Hill might say it.

"Bobby's been spending too much time watching those virals on the Vidyagum."

The weather report hook is genius if her target audience is my parents.

This woman was once on Diff'rent Strokes. She played Arnold's teacher and she went on a date with Mr. Drummond. Coincidentally, Conrad Bain was married at the age of 13 in Bangladesh. And that is how you play Six Degrees of Bangladeshi Weddings.

This annoys me. But she's pretty hot for a fake 80's weatherlady. The term grudgefuck comes to mind.
