What Does The Fox Say?

Last week the Fox Sports Channels fired the "Fox Sports Girls" in each of their markets. The impacted employees were attractive 20-something women that provided station identification messages such as "You're watching Fox Sports North." They were active on Twitter, reminding people to watch the games on the various Fox Sports Channels. Finally, they attended games and other promotional events in order to drive interest in the activities of the television channel they represented.

Reaction on the internet to the firings was intense. Some thought the concept of the "Girls" was outdated sexism. Some thought it was a shame that even more people were losing jobs in the Obamaconomy. Surprisingly, even Michelle Obama jumped into the fray, calling for the return of the Fox Sports Girls:



The whole situation really makes you think. One day the Fox Sports North Girls were tweeting the Minnesota Wild to victory. Suddenly, both the Girls and the Wild are gone. It reminds one of the poignant song by Dion:

Has anybody here seen my good friend Kendall?
Can you tell me where she's gone?
She tweeted a lot of people,
But it seems the good they're fired young.
I just followed her, now she's gone.

Anybody here seen my old friend Jen?
Can you tell me where she's gone?
She tweeted a lot of people,
But it seems the good they're fired young.
I just followed her, now she's gone.

Anybody here seen my old friend Angie?
Can you tell me where she's gone?
She tweeted a lot of people,
But it seems the good they're fired young.
I just followed her, now she's gone.

Didn't you love the things that they stood for?
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me?
And they were hotties
Some day soon, and it's a-gonna be one day...

Anybody here seen my old friend Kaylin?
Can you tell me where she's gone?
I thought I saw her at the Timberwolves game,
With Kendall, Angie and Jen.
