Re: Humorous Local News
On another, slightly related note...
The local news stations in Atlanta make me laugh.
We have "STORM ALERTS" if rain is on the way.
We have cameras ZOOMING into twigs to show the 1/2th of 1/10th of 1 millimeter of ICE for the looming ice storm.
We have newscasters standing in 2 feet of water to show how we are in a FLOOD watch but reality is, he's surrounded by dry paths and roads and really standing in a puddle.
And last but note least, WTF is about when ALL the newscasters are LIVE for the weakest of news reports. Why do they all need to be LIVE... <sigh>
