Instead of just reporting on the bottom line of some faceless corporation, a Sydney-based company is offering online daily financial market reports read by naked women. Market Wrap Unwrapped plans to offer 20 minute market reports featuring naked women with names like Cindy, the `"daughter of a minister'' according to her online biography, and Penthouse magazine model Georgie, who likes to draw pictures of naked woman, as her bio says.

"The U.S. stock market basically leads the world financially, and all investors around the world want to know how the market is doing -- the Dow Jones, S&P 500, any major stock movements and commodity prices,'' Market Wrap Unwrapped Managing Director Sam Ruddock said on Tuesday.

"The girls give the report and take their clothes off, down to nothing as they go on,'' he said. ``There is no market advice, it's just a wrap. It verges on the stockmarket/porn industry. But it is very tame, it's only R rated,'' Ruddock said.

Since its launch two weeks ago, the site had received 15,000 hits, with more than 50 people signing up, Ruddock said.

Talk about a free market place! (Or is that a bare market?) This, my friends, is capitalism at its finest. A man sees a market (naked women reporting stock ups and downs) and he fills that market. What else could we ask? Well, for starters, we can hope that Lou Dobbs doesn't hear of this and say, "You know, that's not a bad idea."
