PCIntern's JournalIf you have never watched "Lost", this won't make much sense, but as life imitates art..
here goes anyhow:
So I'm sitting in my family room yesterday afternoon after spending way too much time in the sun outdoors, and the news comes over the Teevee that an airplane has crashed at San Francisco International Airport. An Asiana Airlines (AJIRA AIRLINES - the second plane) plane flying over the Pacific (almost) inexplicably collides with a seawall and LOSES ITS TAIL SECTION. Many of the passengers make it out alive unhurt, but there are at least two deaths and some in critical condition. SIXTY PASSENGERS ARE UNACCOUNTED FOR, say the officials and the media attempts to figure out exactly what that means. The plane's flight origin is SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA (home of JIN and SUN) and had an otherwise uneventful flight until the ANOMALY at the water's edge.
Yes, I know. But the mind wanders...
Unsurprisingly, CNN is completely screwing up its coverage of the crash...
In addition to a bevy of stupid comments and questions, a gentleman just gave excellent eyewitness testimony as he had watched panes coming in, a really emotional man, and Lemon immediately followed him by saying that he was a passenger on the aircraft (as Mitt would call it).
the point is, there is no WAY that this man's rendition of what he had seen could have been discerned from within the plane. Jesus, can't these people do anything right?
Fortunately, they have stopped using the words 'miracle' and 'miraculous' since it appears that there have been fatailities, according to FOX's coverage. This was going to become a religious experience...but it isn't now.
They should call Zimmerman in jail and find out if he thinks that this is also God's will.
OK, this CNN Saturday morning "show" is hands-down
the worst TeeVee program I have ever seen. Bar none.
I have never been so repulsed by two hosts simultaneously. To wit:
The male anchor is undoubltedly the most insipid person I have ever had the distinction of hearing in my lifetime. How bad is he? In their intro to their piece damning The Lone Ranger film for bad opening weekend, he said, and I'm only slightly paraphrasing, that if someone had given HIM ten million dollars, that that would be a good weekend for him. Of course, the story, as it were. went on to say that the film had cost Disney 225 million to make. I would suppose that if he had spent 225 million it would have been a BAD weekend. And he does all of this with the smile upon his face which even a used-car salesman would not dream of utilizing.
The female anchor asks one of her insipid questions of a guest and immediately begins to talk over the poor schmuck who is attempting to answer. Even Tweety doesn't do it that way, he merely re-re-rephrases his own question. On top of everything else, her answer to her own question is ill-informed and trite-meaningless
In summary, Chicken Noodle News has sunk to a new low. It will be interesting to see if they can diminish themselves even more in the future. It is entirely possible.
