I love the news. I watch CNN, CNBC, the local, the World, and the 11:00 p.m. edition.
I am proud of my knowledge of global affairs. For instance I got to watch a 10 minute piece on whether Britney Spears breasts were real or not.
I learned that there is a dog in Harrisburg that has brought some happiness into local elderly and disabled citizens, by doing tricks, and he moonlight’s as a police dog, too!
I know for example that Ricky Martin is hot.
I learned during World News Tonight that sometimes supermarkets scanners don’t give you the right place, and that prisons can be bad places for young people.
Recently though I’ve gotten very upset. At least once a week they keep doing a piece about some war going on somewhere in Russia.
Sometimes this piece lasts a whole minute!
Don’t they know we don’t care about this unimportant stuff?
We all got our fill of war with that Serb genocide thingie that happened last year, and are sick of wars with ugly people in countries with names that sound like your choking on something!
What do we care about this ugly grey looking people? It’s so depressing and monotone over there it can’t really be important. Surely Ricky Martin or Madonna wouldn’t get caught dead in Checknya.
It’s not like they were a super power, or as if they have nuclear bombs or anything. Nope, there’s no way that any of that matters to us, and I for one wish it would stop showing up once or twice a week during my news.
