In the interest of context I found the original segment as broadast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=91&v=oAIbJHk49lM and wow! Nobody is coming out of that with any credit. I'm not sure what this show is (I guess it's an early afternoon talk show type of thing) but it's interesting that nobody seemed to find it unusual for them to be getting all moist over a photo of a semi-naked man. Once again, reverse the genders and there would have been an absolute fire storm. Perhaps she (Yumi) was trying to be critical just to stem the gushing over the war hero/SAS/killing machine bollocks (which admittedly was nauseating) but to do so with a blatantly sexist line seems a poor choice. Of course, none of this lessens the awful comments of the first presenter in the "Invasion Day" story. The Aussie media seems even worse than ours.
