Is MSNBC going to spend the whole goddamned afternoon breaking news
Edited on Fri May-07-10 01:22 PM by Subdivisions
about some "packages" some tourist probably forgot to pick up before getting into a taxi? I guess there's nothing fucking else going on in the world worth wasting the afternoon reporting on!

Hey you! Yeah you! The one wondering where you left your shit. Tune into MSNBC to find out where your shit is.

6. Remember when "BREAKING NEWZ OMFGZ" was actually "Breaking News"?
Every burp and shit news item is now an "ALERT!" or "BREAKING NEWS" or a "SPECIAL REPORT!", just in case you weren't paying attention to our sensory overload!!

7. Actually I miss the days when you'd be sitting there watching
General Hospital (or something, we only had 4 channels) and all of a sudden a breaking news audio and splash would come up on the screen and you knew it wasn't going to be about someone leaving their lunchbox at a bus stop in Times Square.

10. Yayyyy! Now we got a suspicious moving truck around the corner from the lunch box. Great!
That should use up the rest of this week's "news" time.
