For real, I am ready to destroy my computer.
Anyway, back on topic. Yea, it's pretty cool, seeing all the people walking. The wonders of technology. I'm kinda pissed, the Shoutcast I listen to is apparently fed from the NE, so I had to find another radio station (Think I'm listening to some U2 crap now).
Something that I thought was asinine about my local TV station. Fox News was like "It could be the work of terrorists". I mean, wtf, what gives you the impression that it's terrorism? The video on the TV showed everyone laughing and talking, and this chump 1000 miles away is going to be like "Osama must have done this."

F*** it all tonight.

I think it was more a function as the station trying to make news... gossip if you would. I've been doing some shiat with my county's sheriff's office and it happens quite a bit. Just recently a kid got off the bus and a couple in a car asked him "Have you seen our dog?" The bus driver asked the kid what the couple said, he told them, the bus driver reported it to the police for being suspicious. So, they interviewed the kid and trying to figure out what exactly happened. Anyway, next thing you know on the 6 o'clock news, there's a report of an ATTEMPTED ABDUCTION when in reality, it was alot less. Come to find out, the gate-guard had received a call about a missing dog and the couple were legit. Pretty retarded on the part of the news media, so ready to make news, not report it.

Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large numbers.....or stupid people with a way to broadcast.

It's not really their fault, they're just doing what it takes to make money....it's actually the fault of the general public of the US, people want sensation, action, and juice.....so that's what the news companies give them. They're just another form of "reality TV".....except the news folks claim to be doing it for a noble cause rather than sheer entertainment.
