Why my local news sucks more than yours.
So I'm playing poker while purusing 2+2 and keeping half an eye turned on to my local news station.
Suddenly I hear in the background, "A homemade recipe you can use to make your kids halloween costume flame resistant." I barely noticed these words as they came out of the TV set, yet just enough to try to comprehend this. I hit rewind on my DVR to make sure I just heard what I thought I heard. Yep, that's it. Why on God's green earth would anybody do this? I wasn't aware that spontaneous combustion was a leading killer of tricker treaters. I've heard of people putting razors in apples, drugs in candy, and hell, even pedophiles are on the rise. But, for the love of all that's holy, how many kids are getting torched on halloween??? Isn't this going way overboard on safety? Anyway, if you have any interesting stories of why your local news sucks more than mine, I'd love to hear em. |

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?..." |

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. |
