Katie Couric: Skirt Chaser

Call me cynical, but I wondered what the hell concerned mother Katie Couric was doing yesterday talking to equally concerned and crime-fighting mother, Bunny Brunt.

Bunny Brunt, if you don't know -- caught some smarmy guy (named Jeff ...ahem... Swisher) using a webcam to shoot naughty videos of her 18 year old daughter's underpants. To her credit, Bunny shops at Aldo and chased him while wearing gold sandals, which is no small crime-fighting feat.

Now, I know that's creepy and all (the underpants, not the sandals -- that's just tacky) -- but the whole Bunny vs. Swisher drama unfolded well over a month ago.

What is really interesting is that concerned mother Katie Couric has written the introduction to a book titled:

Boys Will Put You on a Pedestal
(So They Can Look Up Your Skirt) :
A Dad's Advice for Daughters
by Philip Van (ahem....pardon the cough) Munching

The book hits the streets May 11.

Coincidence or well-timed covert marketing practice?

You tell me...... Would the ever effervescent Katie Couric take some girls traumatic underpants experience and fashion that into a strange marketing....um...plug for an upcoming book featuring her?

America's sweetheart, we demand answers!
