Am I REALLY THIS f@(#!%& OLD????

I can't believe I even have lived long enough to see this!! Sitting here watching CNN Headline News, and what do I hear?? The unmistakable sound of "EROTIC CITY" being played as background filler music during a news report!!!

Are we really this frekin old??? Tipper Gore would roll over in her grave, if she was dead...

Pfans have infiltrated the powers that be... CNN def has a fan on staff... Someone reported earlier that they were playing "Pop Life" as a background music for something else.

i actually read somewhere that they were giving slang dictionaries to their newscasters..reporters..whatever you call those 'talking head' people...and they are trying to appeal to a younger demographic...

maybe this is part of the 'makeover...'

Hey, even though some of the spots are cheesy, I'd still rather hear some Prince, than no Prince at all.
