Hover Kitteh on Balloon Boy Approach & Other Snews

You can take the “Snews” any way you like. Snore-worthy news, stupid news, silly news…

Here’s what I think.

I think that I’m tired of hearing about every dillweed in North Carolina or Florida who shoots a pumpkin out of a trash-can bazooka, or tries to rob a convenience store with an electric pickle.  (I say North Carolina and Florida because an astonishing number of crazed and stupid news stories originate in those two states … unless it’s just that we notice, living in NC and Trish being from FL).

Whatever happened to news that was serious?  For that matter, whatever happened to newscasters who cared more about telling us what the heck is going on – srsly – than they did about ratings?  Whatever happened to taking chances and getting real news?  We bloat about fifteen minutes of real content into an hour of fake smiles, designer clothes, and commercials.

Up-to-the-minute weather?  Right.  They don’t update their web sites even every FIFTEEN minutes – usually not for hours, and their idea of being helpful and “on your side” is to tell you that four hours from now, on their eleven o’clock report, they’ll tell you something that you need to know to be safe – but they won’t tell you NOW…because they need the ratings at 11:00 (when they will likely replay the tapes from 6:00).

If Balloon boy is all we’ve got, we’re in a sorry state of disarray indeed.

So I say – send in Hover Kitteh … your on the ball newsCATster … at least he’s worth a legitimate laugh.

End, short, pointless rant (pointless because I’m sure there’s some guy holding three bears hostage somewhere, and everyone is too busy discussing it to read this…next post?  Hover Kitteh Frees Berz.
