Storm Coverage
It's
amazing, but somehow worthless TV news becomes even more worthless
during hysterical storm coverage. The news bobbleheads muscle aside
regular programming for hours and give NO useful information. The
goofball weatherclown slaps on his serious face, stands in front of his
blue screen flapping his arms like a condor with its foot caught in a
car door and just keeps squawking that the storm is bad. There's the
constant, incredibly annoying scroll at the bottom of the screen for the
ADD crowd that echoes pretty much everything the nitwit anchors keep
repeating. There's stock footage of people who probably died in a storm
twenty years ago nailing plywood to their windows and rolling the gas
grill into the living room. There's always the cliched reporter
stationed at the beach telling us we shouldn't be standing at the beach.
I swear they could film ten minutes and just keep replaying it on an
endless loop every storm, but Dennis Hopper might get wise to it and
blow the bus up.
