Despite the drawing power of the show’s host, Steve Martin, and a guarantee by producer Gil Martin that the show would be significantly shorter than last year’s 4 hour 8 minute marathon, the Oscars broadcast on ABC last Sunday night was the lowest-rated telecast in the series since 1986.
The incessant growth in the number of channels available to viewers of cable or satellite television is resulting in a dramatic fragmentation of the TV viewing audience. Niche programming on such channels as Discovery, ESPN, and Lifetime, not to mention the tremendous popularity of “Sex and the City” and “The Sopranos” on HBO, is drawing audiences away from the traditional network fare. How can the producers of the Oscars be expected to protect their once loyal audience when they must compete with the edgier non-network programming? With millions of advertising dollars at stake, the situation is nearing desperation levels and desperate times call for desperate measures. So, I have come up with a simple solution, which if implemented, will almost certainly ensure a larger audience for future Oscars telecasts - focus on the breasts!!
Wearing the right size bra can decrease the number of other problems a girl will have with her bra. For instance, a bra that's the right size won't pinch, gap, or slide around. So it makes sense to spend some time learning about bra sizes.
There are two parts to a bra's size: the chest size (also called the band size) and the cup size. The chest or band size is represented by a number (32, 34, 36, etc.) and is the part of the bra that runs across a girl's chest and around her back. The cups are the parts of the bra that hold the breasts and come in letter sizes (AA, A, B, C, etc.).
Bras come in many sizes, which are different combinations of the chest sizes and cup sizes — 32AA, for instance. It's important to get both the chest and cup sizes right to ensure a proper fit. Some bra manufacturers are now starting to offer cup options in half sizes in addition to regular cups to help girls get a better fit.
