Refrigerator Perry Hospitalized...Headline at Yahoo News...
at its home page...


.844am Central Time.



Who gives a crap?...This is about as important as cow farts.
Yet this second rate news outlet puts it on top...sure..with a picture of the Fridge...

I don't know what else to say.

[meegbear]

1. "`Refrigerator’ Perry hospitalized in S. Carolina" is the worst?

How about "Dead guitarist better"?

[YOY]

2. It's sports.yahoo.com.

You were expecting Henry Kissinger?

[Stuart G]

4. It is at the home page too..for now...

[rcrush]

6. I was expecting Obama dog on yahoo sports.

WTF

[Stuart G]

8. The dog will be up there next week

[rcrush]

20. I hear he can dunk.

[Stuart G]

21. Ok, ..everyone..dog basketball at three pm today..on the west lawn..nt

[Forkboy]

9. Nobody expects Henry Kissinger!

[YOY]

25. You mean Henry Killinger...and his murder bag.

[Forkboy]

27. *SNARF*

:spray:

3. How about G.W. Bush Elected?

that is much worse.... a 46-year old in critical condition, who was/is an idol to some is, well, kind of news

[Stuart G]

7. Well that one is the most disgusting...this one at the home page is the most stupid

[Stuart G]

10. Yes, he was an idol to some...but is it the top story at the home page?

Nothing else going on in the world at 8;44am today..Ok, let's know about him..but at the top of the home page?

5. Patriots Fan?

[aikoaiko]

24. good one.

hehehe

[Captain Hilts]

11. So, you don't care about football or those who play it. I'll bet the Prez read about Perry.

He played for Chicago, you know...

[Stuart G]

12. Of course I know him...but top of home page..by the way...at 8:52 am they took it off the top..

[Stuart G]

13. Perhaps this too was a waste of "band width" as they say..oh well..

It was interesting for a few moments..I hope the Fridge gets well..no matter how they report the story...

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

14. Hey! Bears fans liked the Fridge.

[Stuart G]

17. I liked him too..LIke one of those one hit wonders that they talk about..

He got some great publicity for a while..then..???

30. Not everyone can be a John Elway.

Ever heard of Ron Santo? He was my favorite Cub. I loved it when he jumped up and kicked his heels while he was playing 3rd base. Now he doesn't have any legs. Do we diss him too for not being a star big enough to get some people's approval?

[Stuart G]

15. At 8:55am central, they put it back at the top.......of the home page..

[elocs]

16. My guess would be that there are headlines you believe are important

that millions of other people would respond with, "Who gives a crap?" That's life and I'm afraid that news media do not approach their business with the philosophy of, "How may we please Liberals with a constant update of the 10 most important and earth-shattering stories?" My guess is that millions will probably read that story about Refrigerator Perry and find it worth reading.

One person's useless crap is another person's useful fertilizer.

[Stuart G]

19. I guess that is as good an explanation as any...I dutifully agree..

[hughee99]

18. This is on the same page

that you can see how good Katey Sagal looks in her black dress, read about Beyonce's new bling, and find out (spoiler alert) that Brad Paisley's new son's middle name is that of his grandfather. The Fridge wasn't even the most insignificant story on the page.

[bobbert]

22. being from chicago, I like it

And they had it up there at 9AM central time, right when people in the Central time zone get to work. It will probably be up another half hour or so while the people that care about the story are checking yahoo this morning. It's interesting and will get a click.

Plus, you didn't click on 'news' you just went to the yahoo home page. You are over reacting, but thanks for the link, I hope he pulls through.

[lies and propaganda]

23. "I dont understand sports so its dumb"

Thats what this headline of this post should have been.

[FSogol]

26. Maybe you should find a better source for news than Yahoo?

Just saying. :shrug:

[NeedleCast]

28. It's not even close to the dumbest ever

29. Apparently you missed this one ....
