Did we NOT just have an earthquake devastate the island nation of Haiti?
Are there not 2 wars going on right now?
Was there not a terrorist who managed to board an airplane despite 9-11 having happened approx a decade ago?
Did we not just gain a Republican Senator who is likely to change the game (or derail) in the health care debate in America?


I mean, REALLY? THIS IS ON THE FRONT PAGE??!?!?!?!



REALLY? REALLY ? ?!?!?! ?!? ?!?!!? ?!?!?! ?!?!?!? !?!?!?!?







They should rename all of these corporate news channels (CNBC, CNN, FOX) to Newsertainment.

I so totally shit you not, but I get more information from the org than I do from these corporate news channels. OY.

kimrachell said:

i just went there. it is on the front page.

but considering our local news quotes TMZ as a source, this does not surprise me.

TheVoid said:

i know, i saw it, you're right, a lot of times i get more real news info. here on the org too!

I swear to gawd, it takes over 150,000 people to be raped and killed in Darfur before it gets a 30 second blip on CNN, but if Christina Aguelera gets another piercing on her clit, we have to sit through 60 minutes of Larry King about it.

Hey wait.



So.... is that hug..... well, is it..... sorta like.... first base.

What's the big deal? They report on all you mentioned all the time, I see no problem in posting stories like this now and then.

It is ok to talk about other things and still care about the real important issues.

lawd.

I'm doing it again.



.... to my own thread.

TheVoid said:

you are so right!!! i often get upset that there really isn't any world news! when you want to hear about whats going on in another country you have to seek it out online.

TheVoid said:

you never fail to make me laugh on here!

I mean, after George Michael got caught for his first 'ghey accident', they did an entire hour with the dude.... ON CNN.. (not Oprah... Not Donahue.... CNN)...

It should have been no more than 2 seconds:


George Michael: I'm gay
Audience: We know

.... cut the Molosovich trials.....

TheVoid said:

Exactly.

MrsMdiver said:

They actually billed it on CNN as a "shocking coming out" of George Michael

I mean, as if his Wham videos weren't already that. Albeit, Wake Me Up Before You Go Go wasn't as geigh as Tick Tick Bang! , but where there's smoke....










Hey wait a fucking second. I've just devoted more time to George Michael in GD than I have to P&R the entire month.

TheVoid said:

you & me both my friend.

TheVoid said:

you know what's funny though, i had such a crush on george michael for years, i NEVER knew or even thought he could be gay! i was in total when i found out. looking back, i can't believe i never knew!

I just like how the other big news story is about the big snow strom and it says: "Clobbered by snow" I never hear anyone ever use that term any more except my dad.

minneapolisgenius said:

i found that funny as well.

I find it nice that they do not all feel the need to bombard us with bad news all the time. I think they ought to have more feel good and even trivial or down right silly stories in the head lines, front page, or as a lead story.

and didn't our President just say something about turning off CNN and the political echo chamber?

I like that silly story. It was fun and no one died in it. No one lost their job or got denied heath care. Good for them.

JustErin said:

yeah, there is almost always something more important to be doing. But a break is needed from time to time.

I am sure all of us here could find a better use of our time than the ORG. But it is fun, it is a break. I pull my wight in the world. I say informed. But I also like to have fun.

Dan - stop replying to my posts via orgnote!


And stop assaulting my eyes with the fucking picture!

JustErin said:

Calm down!

Well, the story is no longer on the front page.

Now the front page story is "Superbowl funnies"


lawd.

TheVoid said:

It's the Internet. It's still all there at CNN.com.
Are you complaining you aren't been spoon fed?

SUPRMAN said:

no.

Your posts are so useless.

TheVoid said:

I think it's the thread . . . .

SUPRMAN said:
