Female Katrina survivors are told to "lift their tops" by "rescuers". They refuse, and therefore aren't rescued.

Not to interrupt the mood...

Um, isn't that from The Onion?

Er, I don't think so. I didn't find it in The Onion's Katrina coverage, anyways (although many of their articles were painfully too close to true to be side-splitting.)

It is yahoo news, but I think it's valid.

Hrm, can't find anything in google news about it, but it's hard to know what to search for....

news.google.com search for "Ged Scott" or the more satisfying "show us what you've got" will get some more references to this....it's not terrifically widespread, but it is out there.
