Why is a Whale Being Saved is Big News?
 
I mean who cares, it should be news, but not be on for five hours straight, and only showing clippings of real news for like ten seconds. Ah t.v. news suck.

Whales need jesus too you brute beast!

king_buzzo 05.17.2007 12:41 PM

Whales own your life!

ALIEN ANAL 05.17.2007 12:42 PM

because its nice to hear of life being saved once in a while
sure its not that important but it sure can get depressing just hearing about how fucked the world is.

The news has always been crap. I remember coming home from school last year, sitting in front of the TV to watch some lame ass show, and the news people having this IMPORTANT UPDATE about this damn baseball guy who was coming back to baseball after hurting his leg or some shit. It went on for like 2 hours and I was ready to smash my TV. Is it too hard to put a scrolling thing at the bottom of the screen so that people can actually watch what they want to watch? That way they can still inform the people who give a rats ass without disturbing everybody who doesn't.

Yeah, but to have it on a ews channel that say they have good news. Come one, it is stupid.

ALIEN ANAL 05.17.2007 01:06 PM

Norma J 05.17.2007 03:54 PM

Would I save a whale before I saved you? Yes. Most definitely.

You're just trying to cover up the fact that you think the whale's hot. Admit it!

!@#$%! 05.18.2007 03:22 PM

ok a serious "answer"-- thanks to campaigns by the WWF, Greenpeace, etc, we have this notion of whales as ambassadors form the ocean or something-- which i truly think it's great.

i also think it's great the whale was saved-- consider the stench otherwise!

but the 5hours of TV news it's because, thanks to those campaigns mentioned above, saving a whale is just a notch below saving Mickey Mouse. free willy!

anyway, wtf are you doing watching tv news?

 

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 05.18.2007 03:24 PM

whales are dying, that's why.

Everyneurotic 05.18.2007 03:30 PM

screw saving.

shave the whales.

Sheriff Rhys Chatham 05.18.2007 03:32 PM

Shave them of what?

emmah, the news has not always been crap. It began after the watergate scandal, and the governemnet decided that the news media needed to focus more on advertisers than on actual news investigation, cuz it amde them look bad.

Well well well

must've been a slow news day.

Notice how whale's have gotten more spotlight of late as our nation's waist expands ? Not a mere coincidence ! LOL !!!!

^^^I can imagine Kent Brockman saying something like that, finishing up with, "...and frankly Springfield, I blame YOU, the viewer!".

Norma J 05.18.2007 05:32 PM

To the opening post: I care.
