The World Beyond BetterMost > Anything Goes
well, DUH!
injest:
I have been noticing lately that the news people think we are really stupid (or maybe they lack any imagination)
Anyway
they have been making some of the most asinine comments I have ever heard and I am gonna share the misery!
Please add yours! We might as well get a few laughs off of them...
Example:
Good Morning America ABC
"LIVE from the Planet Earth!"
oh really? wow! from Earth huh? as opposed to say......Mars?? Have we achieved interplanetary travel while I wasn't paying attention?
or have we perhaps opened an ABC affiliate on Venus? Maybe we are broadcasting to Vulcan? What?
injest:
Blue Angels Jet Crashes
Headline News CNN
spectators say the wreck happened very quickly.
no WAY! A jet in the middle of an air show was going fast? and the wreck was sudden? Now that is news! Cause USUALLY when a jet crashes you have LOTS and LOTS of warning....heck, most are practically in slow motion!!
DUH
injest:
Virginia Tech Shootings
Headline News CNN
Students are returning to the campus older....
They got older? as opposed to getting younger? Who got younger over the last week? And where are THEY? cause we all need to go to that location! they could make a fortune...everyone is looking to stop time...and someone has done that? now THAT is news right there!

The announcer at a baseball game: “If that ball hadn’t bounced so high, he could have caught it.”
During a newscast: “The woman was carried from her house” (pause) “unharmed by three firemen.”
