I recently started listening to news radio at work and every day at noon they have on Paul Harvey who is apparently a famous journalist. How is this possible? He goes into commercials without the slightest warning, discussing a specific brand of vitamin as if it were news. What’s the deal with this? My friend told me that he has been on the radio for quite some time. Was he ever any good? Do you like him?

After the moderator saw it, the thread went to… MPSIMS. Where it lives to this day.
And now you know… the rest of the story.
## P.S. Paul Harvey is one of the premier Urban Legend spreaders in the world. He is a major impediment in the fight against ignorance.
