In response to the comment at the bottom, and I know that this will offend a lot of people.  Golf is so dull.  The guy wants a pretty girl to help advertise it?  Good luck.  A flock of playboy bunnies can't help to make golf sexy.  Come on, it's dull.  My sincerest apologies for any offence cause

Ok, read most of the thread on sexism now (up to 7pm 11 May), getting  bored now.  But interesting discussion. I have noticed in this group that discussion can become very heated,  and personalities become offended. Video bloggers are by nature creative people, otherwise they would  not be

Bit over the top, David.  There have to be ads on TV to pay for making the programs, it's not cheap.  What we vloggers do is cheap, and it's a hobby, so we spend the money without any desire to recoup it.  Some media sites probably have the same problem as TV - it's not a hobby, it's not done in
