Battle of the boobs :naughty:

Inter-channel rivalry over new TV shows at noon has taken a new twist due to the assets of two of the reporters.
Eri Furuse, whose 95-centimeter bust has earned her the nickname "suikappu" (an allusion to her "suika" or water melon-sized bust), is on "Special Data tottemo Insight" on TBS at noon, while at the same time, Waka Inoue is bouncing her 90-cm bust each Wednesday on Fuji TV's "Waratte Iitomo."
Furuse reports on new products and news in the segment "Kyo Hatsu" (Today's Release). Apparently, TBS is hoping she can lift audience ratings. However, it is a big gamble. The network has changed the format of its noon show 17 times since 1987, and the time frame is referred to as the Black Zone. Video Research reports that audience ratings for Wednesday Sept 15 were 9.3% at Fuji TV and 2.1% at TBS.
A public relations spokesperson for TBS said: "Furuse isn't the main anchorwoman, but the media have been reporting that the 'suikappu' will be on, so it's good PR, at least."
Meanwhile, Inoue has her own nickname — "Wakapai" (derived from her first name and "oppai" or boobs). Despite the seasonal reshuffle of personalities on "Waratte Iitomo," Inoue survived and will be given more to do.
"We are thinking of a quiz corner for her," said the show's producer. "One director told me that she is a perfect host. She is good at leading the show, and very talkative. We are glad to hear those kinds of comments."
Show-biz reporter Kouzou Inoue predicts, "Waka Inoue is pretty popular among women as well as men, so she is good for daytime TV. Furuse is targeting businessmen, so she needs to act more like an anchorwoman instead of a 'suikkapu' idol,' although I don't think she is capable of reversing the audience rating."
