2 other "news" stories I'm sick of

The BBQ Pit

I was about to post this in the “sick of columbine (sp?)” thread, but decided not to hijack.

Having said that, let me throw on my asshole hat and say:

I DON’T GIVE A GOOD FUCKING RUNNY OUNCE OF RAT’S DIARRHEA ABOUT WHERE ELIAN GONZALES END UP LIVING, OR ABOUT WHAT IS GOING ON WITH PATSY AND JOHN RAMSEY.

Guess what? I don’t give a fuck that some protester got “shoved” in front of His Miami relatives house. How in the name of hell is that the top news story for the day? Yes, this story was newsworthy at one point. It is not a 3 month dominating story. (Ok, maybe it hasn’t been quite that long, but GODDAMN it sure feels like it.) They should just shut the fuck up about the whole thing until a final decision is made. Then that can be the top news story for the day. Hell, for all I care, they can blast his six-year-old ass out of a southern-facing cannon on Miami Beach. Let’s have a parade, shoot the cannon, report that on the news, and be done with the fucking thing.

On to JonBenet. Yes, it is one of the worst things on earth when a child is murdered. No, after 2 years of nothing at all being uncovered be investigators, it should not still be a fucking news item. The lead detective wrote a book. He thinks Patsy did it. Oohhh, Patsy is upset. The naughty policeman can’t say that. Let’s sue him for slander. Hey folks, I have a fucking hangnail on my 4th toenail on me left foot. STOP THE FUCKING PRESSES!!! NOW THAT’S NEWS!! WHADDA SCOOP!! Again, If they fucking figure out who did it, great, put it on the news.

Until then, I’d rather sit at my desk, stick splinters under my fingernails, receive a percolating Tabasco sauce enema, and read forwarded email scams then I would hear about this “news”.

::asshole hat off::

That movie taught me some important lessons in life. 1. I can build a robot that loves me. 2. I can reanimate my dead girlfriend by jamming bits of metal and silicon into her skull. Both are lessons I use on a daily basis…

Yeah I am tired of Elian as well. I believe it had been his mother trying to get him back nad not the father. We would have heard little more than a peep from the media whores.
Will it will be over soon enough I think.

There’s not a single grey hair on my soul,
nor senile tenderness either.
I’ve shaken the world with my voice’s power:
There I go handsome,
Twenty-two years old

Actually it’s been more like five months. The kid was found clinging to a raft on Thanksgiving day. And I’m about sick of the Cuban population of Miami “taking to the streets” every 5 minutes. Don’t these people have jobs?

Regarding Jon Benet : Poor kids and ugly kids are killed in this country every day of the week. You hear about them for 5 seconds on the news. A pretty little rich girl gets murdered and it’s all you hear for YEARS! Will somebody wake me up when these media beauty contests are over? I wish there was SOME outlet SOMEWHERE that only reported real news…

You think your news is crap?
Just lately in the UK we’ve had to endure front page headlines about the haircut of soccer players the dress that posh spice wore etc ad nauseaum.

5

Everyone’s favorite parody newspaper, The Onion, wrote an article some time ago with the headline “Ugly Girl Murdered,” describing how everyone either didn’t care or was kinda glad that this little ugly girl was dead.

Sometimes, The Onion is the best indicator of what’s stupid about society…

Oh, and the shrines with candles, pictures of the kid alongside Jesus, etc.

Thank god they finally yanked that kid out of that house and gave him back to his father like they should have in the first place. Now maybe he can have a semi-normal life and we can stop hearing about it.

I would’ve gotten away with it, too, if it weren’t for those meddling kids!

Yep. I too am sick of hearing about the Elian Gonzales story. But what makes me even more disgusted is the way that politicians are are spinning the unfolding story to gain some kind of political advantage. If I hear one more republican talking about how the Clinton Administration screwed this all up, I’m gonna hurl!

Re: my short post in one of the Elian threads

Names other than Elian I was sick of hearing:

OJ
Monica
Bill
Jon Benet
Kenneth

Now it’s Al and George…and Bob and Ted, Carol and Alice.

Kenneth?

11

Yes, John Kenneth Galbraith. We are all tired of hearing about reintepretations of Keynesian economics for the technological era.

Just kidding, I’m pretty sure it’s Kenneth Star.

The last important thing that happened in the Gonzales case was the first thing that happened: people got killed trying to cross from Cuba to the U.S. I mean, it is a real marine safety issue when people pile aboard rickety vessels piloted by rogues and end up drowning. Everything that’s happened since then has been postnasal media drip.

Ahhhh, okay, I forgot all about that dumb fuck. Maybe because, like every other name on the list, I let his name flow in one ear and out the other every time I heard it. Thanks for the clarification, Boris.

You guys are tired of hearing about Elian?
Try living in Florida. We’re stuck with it on every newscast (national and local) and in every daily newspaper in the state.
I’m very glad I don’t live in Miami. It is bad enough living up here in the capital where I only have to listen to lobbyists and legislators whine about how “the Miami Relatives” should get their day in court. At least they don’t riot.
