Why do people subject themselves to Katie Couric when a loved one dies?

Mr. Rilch says that if I’m ever brutally murdered, he will go on TV. Not on any of the fluff shows, but in a press conference, where he will tell the perpertrator(s) to give themself/ves up, and anyone who knows anything to speak up, because they’ll fare far better at the hands of the authorities than they will if he has to find them himself.

But that’s hardly what people are ranting about here. There’s no way he’d let himself be manipulated by Katie Couric, or anyone of that ilk.

Your hobby is crashing planes? :eek:

I wish someone would say to Katie Couric when she is interviewing someone who lost a loved one.

KC - How do you feel, you must be in alot of pain and grief.

Interviewee - It hurts, but I get a really good life insurance pay out so I should be able to deal with the grief once the money rolls in. Thanks Dear

A while ago, the man whose wife was killed and was himself nearly killed and a tragic killer bee attack was on the today show being interviewed by either Ann Curry or Katie Couric (like it matters, they’re both the same) and he stated passionately that everyone watching should go out and destroy any bee hives they came across or else, and I’m not kidding, we would lose the war against bees.

In the spirit of that uneducated hillbillys confused rant, I have instructed my family to go on television and proclaim a war against whatever killed me, no matter how inane.

“We need to go to war against all folding lawn chairs before they crush another man to death just like they done did my poor Bubba!”

sorry, meant “in a tragic killer bee attack” now who is unedumacatedest

Although the local airport mechanic accused me of that last time I had a hard landing, no, my hobby consists of throwing myself at the ground and missing. :smiley:

You should have paid a little extra for a TV set that can be switched off.
