OK, so if you've read me bitching about my job before, I'm sorry, but I'm at it again. For the rest, I have to watch the news, including local news shows, all day at my job, and it bugs the hell out of me, specifically the crap that passes for news stories. Now, there are certain stories that I never, ever, EVER want to see "journalists" cover:
1) Car wash hidden cameras: Yeah, that bombing sure did kill a lot of people and stuff, but aren't you really more concerned about whether Jimmy at the Golden Nozzle took your $3.26 from under the passenger seat?
2) It's-so-cold stories: The last I checked, New York City, Philadelphia, Chicago, and Hartford, you are no strangers to ice hockey, which is played in your cities, with the exception of Hartford. So, when it's January, and cold, white flakes fall from the sky, this is not a new phenomenon. It's called winter. No need to follow up your weather report with some jerk-off in a parka asking construction crews how they get by.
3) American Idol recaps: THAT'S NOT FUCKING NEWS!!! IT'S A GOD DAMNED COMMERCIAL!!! Same thing when any American Idol has-been drops in to promote his next appearance at a local bar. Yes, Constantine Maroulis, I am looking in your swarthy direction.
4) Hotel black-light stories: What?! Semen? On the bed sheets of a Best Western? I never would have imagined. And how, ace reporter, did it get there?
5) Cat pees on the toilet stories: Yeah, old hat. Now, if you get a cat to wear a diaper traveling from Houston to Orlando....
Sorry to gripe. :rant:
Anybody else have some typical news stories they're sick of? I'm sure I've seen them.
