Taking business coverage topless

You need to drive investors to your news sources any way you can, even if it means chatter about taking your top off. In one of the genuine lowbrow moments in financial journalism history, Forbes has put up a video report on its Web site on "The Best Topless Beaches" in the world. They had the common sense to have a couple of young women reporting on this compelling financial news, rather than leering brokers nudging one another in expensive, expansive suits. Swimsuits are business, too.

You might be able track down this legendary coverage at the Forbes site's video barn. Don't worry — the report's video is strictly G-rated.
