Duh!
Our local news just broke in between commercials to give this breaking report:
"Fewer people can afford homes as prices rise.......Suntans make you feel ...sunny! News at 11:00."
ROFL

Maybe it was an ad for the new Will Farrell movie.

Pretty much all television news makes me go Duh! or WTF! or just puke on the carpet. That is why I quit watching TV years ago. Here, I can come and get news and then TELL the messenger how fluff'n stupid they are.

90% of "TV news" is not news at all, it is opinion by "experts", well they do have 24/7 of air time to fill.
right back after this break.

The NBC station in Dallas has slumped to that. The are "Live, Local, and Late Breaking". Unfortunately most of their "late breaking" news is not news. i.e. "Now this late breaking story you will see only on NBC5! Chopper 5 is now giving us exclusive pictures of the scene where an apartment fire was extenguished. Crews are now in the clean up stage. We will stay on top of this develpoing story!"
The story was the fire, not a truck sitting there doing mop up. The reason they were exclusive pics is nobody else in town wasted the time to look at a parked firetruck.
They also replaced the weekend weather guy that was here for 20 years with some kid from Philly. How do I know he's from Philly? He gave the Philly forecast as the local forecast for Dallas.
I guess he forgot where he was. Personally I want the guy with 20 years experience watching the weather patterns that spawn tornadoes, instead of the nephew of the station manager that can't rip the right forecast off the teletype.

Actually the term could be used interchangably when referring to liberal dems. without a physical examination involving high quality magnification instrumentation it's hard to tell the guys from the gals. you look and sound the same!

Things must have calmed down there since the Cowboys' heyday in the 90's...by comparison, it must be a sleepy little town by now.
A Philly weatherman in dallas? I'm suprised he's been allowed to walk upright in Cowboy Country:rolleyes:

The best "news" story I've ever seen was a local reporter testing the theory that you can "fry an egg" on the hot summer sidewalk or on the dashboard of a car.
Obviously, since neither the sidewalk nor the dashboard remotely approached the typical temperature at which you'd fry an egg (well above water's boiling point), she just wound up making a big goopy egg mess all over some poor schmuck's dashboard.

Thanks lizking. You helped me put my finger on what it is about this BBS that draws me back time and again.:D

What does it take to fry an egg? 150 degrees? It can reach 110 in Texas and in a closed car easily reach 150. Still, without a constant heat source the dash would likely cool off pretty quick under the egg as the egg absorbed that heat. Ain't gonna try it in my car.

Have seen it done on the hood of a black truck here in S. Florida

You might fry an egg at 150 degrees... in 10 to 20 minutes. Even hard-boiling an egg takes several minutes of consistent boiling temperature. There's just no way you're going to fry up an egg on the dashboard of your car. Now the hood or the trunk... that I can believe.

You read the newspaper for yesterday's news.
You watch the tv for news that happened 4 hours ago.
You read the Internet to see what's happening right now.
