So I'm at the doctors yesterday...
And while I'm sitting in the waiting room, there is a TV blaring in the background with faux news on it.
And what are they blathering about? The Aruba girls panties!!!! It was so freaking creepy. The news talking head, is going on and on about pink panties. WTF? This is news? It was insidious. I have come to realize after this little snippet of news perversion, that all of the commentators on faux are all creepy pedophile sex mongers. It's bad enough that this story is getting as much bullshit attention as it is, but then to talk about her underwear and go on and on about their color?
Not verbatim but here's a general idea of what they were saying...

Talking head: so you think that because they found panties, that they are hers?

Field reporter: there has been some doubt, we are trying to determine the color of them.

Talking head: Color? meaning if they were pink they may have been hers?

Field reporter: Yes, pink. It's believed she had pink panties.

Talking head: so if pink panties are found, they will be hers?

Field reporter: that's a yes, they are looking for her pink panties...

Talking head: so there you have it, pink panties, back to you...

Damn it's like the news reporter on the fucking Simpsons!!!

I spoke to the nurse on duty and asked her to change the channel to something more informative like Sesame Street. She looked at me and questioned whether or not I was serious. I said damn straight I am, this is drivel, put on something that will educate us, not insult us.
Guess what? she changed the channel!! LOL

2. Sesame Street is more informative and less hate-filled and not evil

5. It's all one giant distraction
to keep them from having to cover the real news about what's really going on in this country. If Bill Clinton's approval ratings would have been half-as bad as Shrub's are--they would be talking about it 24/7 but oh no--not with this president-they are all too busy kissing his ass!

8. The Pink Panty Channel!
I would rather have no TV at all for the rest of my life than to EVER have to see FU(X) News again. I am so sorry you had to see that. :hug:

But thank you for sharing your experience. Hereafter, in this house, FU(X) News shall be known as the Pink Panty News!!!!!! :rofl:

How do these goons even look at themselves in their mirrors without feeling intense shame? :blush:

(And maybe the gal who changed the channel will start paying attention?)

9. Today I was talking to my Cable supplier

about switching from my current ISP with a DSL connection to a cable modem. The customer service rep said that since I already get a cable package from them, if I was to get one more specialty cable channel I would be eligible for a 15% discount on my internet connection. He said, "I could add a news channel like Fox News to your service if you like." I said right away, "There's no way in hell you will ever be beaming that Bush propaganda BS into my living room." He had a hearty laugh and gave me the BBC instead.
