I wanted to post a picture of a gay kid in response to this, so I googled "gay kid."
No such luck. Maybe I can find a young looking teenager... "gay teenager"...
OH GOD MY EYES WHAT HAVE I DONE

Seriously, that thought is what's keeping me from looking.

Local news in the Bay Area is very good.

Maybe it is because we actually have news, whereas most other cities don't and mostly just reports what goes on here, the center of the universe.


just a guess

Is it just me or are there a lot of flaming homosexuals on local news stations?

Re: Why my local news sucks more than yours.
 

Uh, I have you beat.

One of our local stations "caught" members of the University hockey team drinking underage at a bar. GASP! PEOPLE UNDERAGE DRINK?!? AND MINORS DRINK AT BARS AROUND UNIVERSITIES?!?!?!!?!

The, this yeah, they go around and follow drunk kids to parties, then call the cops on the parties. Think about that for a second; the television news station is breaking up parties. Completely victimless crimes, but they videotape it and put it on the news.

That's pretty damn good, maybe not as good at the 4 part saga of the kid caught jerking off in the public library, but good none the less.

All local news sucks. I didn't know anybody still watched it.

"Tonight at 11: What's in your drinking water? You'll be shocked at what we found! Could this sexual predator be living in your neighborhood? A house burns down, killing eleven children--could this happen to your home?..."

I love these. Opie & Anthony do a bit where they have listeners send in the "scary" news-teases from their local affiliates...so far, their hall of fame is:
"One city wants to put all its registered sex offenders in one 3-block radius. Could it be next to your house?"...and my favorite, the wonderfully attention grabbing "Could hiccups be a sign of cancer? Stay tuned."

At work tonight, the tv in the lunchroom was set to the local news, so I had to endure some.

The weatherman pointed to the current temperature, and actually used the words, "extreme winter conditions."

It was 46 degrees when he said that. I guess we've got a rookie weatherman from Costa Rica.
