Buried in the middle of Thursday’s Rocky Mountain News was the kind of story that could help turn around declining newspaper sales if it were properly exploited: Two Playboy playmates, Danielle Gamba and Carrie Minter, were arrested after behaving with drunken belligerence on a flight from Denver to San Antonio on Sunday. According to the Rocky, the playmates “were allegedly so drunk on the plane that they were deemed a danger to themselves and others…According to police reports, the women fought with each other and with passengers.� Arresting them was one option, setting up a Jello wrestling pit would have been another.

But wait, it gets better: “San Antonio authorities say the episode became even more bizarre when Gamba made sexual advances toward two police officers in an attempt to avoid arrest.� Come on, Rocky Mountain News, in a time of declining newspaper readership, why would you bury such a compelling news story in the “Briefing� section on page 38 instead of trumpeting it on the front cover and adding a full-color pictorial? Have you learned nothing from “Hard Copy�? I do give them credit, though, for running two of the sultriest mug shots I’ve ever seen.

According to the bio on Ms. Gamba's website, she’s “family-oriented and love[s] spending time with friends and family whether it be curling up on the couch or traveling the open seas.� One passage in the bio is particularly illuminating: “As for what my future holds, there are so many avenues I want to explore, so I suppose it’s a matter of what happens first.� I guess she just found out “what happens first.� As for Ms. Minter, the bio on her website contains a similar tale: “I work hard at my modeling, and take acting classes in Sherman Oaks at Bobbie Chance's Studio. As for what my future holds, I have no idea, but I'm a big dreamer, and I've definitely got a few ideas in mind.� Did those ideas include engaging in a drunken catfight at 30,000 feet?
