ZOMG BREAKING NEWS

[kellinator]

I just got one of those Breaking News alerts from the New York Times:

"It's Official: U.S. Economy in Recession"

All I have to say is "duhhhhh." And, possibly, "where have you been?"

The press is useless.

Just said the same thing to a coworker about a similar "breaking news" alert from CNN.com.

DUHHHHHH squared.

I kinda expect that crap from CNN, but I thought the Times prided itself on higher standards or something.

[mfree.livejournal.com]

nah, the crap you can expect from CNN nowadays is blabbing the location of some hiding tourists in the middle of a terrorist takeover.

There's some firm that apparently has to be the one to state such news from the "official" standpoint.

Not a newsflash by any means, however.

Yours was first, but mine has pictures.

[kellinator.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm feeling pretty outdone right about now.

These jokers are useless. It's like they live in an alternate universe.

On a slightly different note, I haven't seen your feelings about the season ender of "The Shield". Dutch MADE IT, BABY!!! Best season finale EVAH!

Oh man, I've watched it four times. More later!

Dear NY Times:

Thank you for that information. I would never have noticed otherwise.

Insincerely,

Did yours say December 2007, too? I'd been calling it all along. I want a cookie or something as a reward.

Yeah. In other news, the sky is blue, the grass is green, and we're still on Planet Earth. *sigh*

I'm pretty sure my homeowners insurance covers "missiles and spacecraft" up to $1000.
