i have never been a fan of watching the news but it has now degenerated into complete ridiculousness. i caught a bit of a national morning show as i was running late this morning and was absolutely insulted.
The opening story: video of a cat playing the piano. The anchors discussed how many times each of them have watched this video off youtube. i also don't need to hear about Paris Hilton going to jail over and over again on 24 cable news. What's next, half hour segments of yarn dangling on the screen broken up by prescription drug and overstimulating american car commercials.
This is how the news should start out every day: Our president is a fuck and this is how many soldiers have died in the last 24 hours because he is such an incompetent ingoranus. That's news. That's what's going on. People shouldn't be allowed to ignore it.
Stories about Paris and pianos are intellectual sedatives. Maybe they should start selling tv's with robotic arms that have soft, white, cartoon gloved hands on the end. As these pacifying segments come on that big hand can telescopically extend from the top of the tv and pat dumb americans on the head as it tells them 'everything is going to be all right'.
