Candidate Bares All on Television

From the New York Times:

BUDAPEST: TV'S NAKED RUNNER Literally outstripping Ms. Jackson, Anettka Feher, a 30-ish Hungarian television host wearing nothing but some jewelry, sat atop a table, legs crossed, yesterday and announced that she was a candidate for a seat in the European Parliament. Hungary joins the European Union on May 1 and has been allotted 24 seats. Ms. Feher, a candidate of the upstart Union Party, rejected any comparisons between herself and Ilona Staller, a former pornography star who is Italian but of Hungarian descent, Reuters reported. Ms. Staller, known as Cicciolina, bared her breasts during a campaign that won her a seat in the Italian parliament in 1987. "If they think I am just another Cicciolina, they are in for a surprise," said Ms. Feher, referring to Hungarian mainstream politicians. "I am smart, and I have a daily four-hour presence on a national television channel."

Apparently, if her web site and the videos on it provide any clues (I don't speak Hungarian, so one can only surmise,) Ms. Feher has bared all on her television show more than once. There are multiple clips of her interviewing guests en flagrante', working out, ads in print media, etc.

Interesting how in this country we have controversy because a pop singer has a breast exposed to more or less the same level as 1950's burlesque, where in Hungary, a television host interviews her guests completely nude. Not only that, Annetka Feher is running for office in the EU Parliament, and is taken seriously enough to capture at least a glimpse of attention from the most august of American periodicals.
