Hyper-groomed Anchors Look Like Porn Stars?

DO YOU KNOW WHICH of the above dudes is a broadcast journalist and which is the professional fornicator?

Film director Steven Soderbergh, the man behind "Traffic" and "Ocean's 13," has a new film about hookers - "The Girlfriend Experience." It stars Sasha Grey, the reigning queen of pornography.

During an interview with the Wall Street Journal, Soderbergh said, "When you look at people who are transmitting the news to you on television they all look like they're in porn, the way they're coiffed. It's really crazy. There's this like hyper-grooming thing going on now, men and women."

That led Gawker.com to examine and compare porn stars and broadcast journalists. Check out their pictures here.

Are TV news people too pretty these days?

(By the way ... that's ABC News' John Stossel on the left and porn legend John Holmes on the right.)

I think that this it is funny how the pictures are similar. Looking at them I had to look at the bottom to see who was the porn star and who was from the news.

one of the principles of journalism is to make the relevant interesting. by being "pretty" i guess it gets more people to pay attention and more people to be interested. haha (although there probably is some truth to this)

I think there is a ridiculous amount of makeup being caked on their faces. However now that alot of people have hd television the big caked up look might not be such a bad idea. The porn look I think is hilarious though.
