To local "journalists": This isn't news

I was watching KCTV-5 news last evening when they put on a story they felt was important to us.

The only thing was, it was out of Utah, we found out, and it was about a mom who witnessed another mom, at a different table in the restaurant, who had her kids on "potty chairs."

And this is news how?

With some research, I found that it's also on Fox 4's website. They figured it was somehow important, also. They posted it 6 days ago, so not only is it not news, not only is it irrelevant to us here in the Kansas City, metro area, it's OLD filler, to boot.

Seriously, as I've said before, you'd think these people would be embarrassed. They should be embarrassed, professionally, especially, even if they haven't studied journalism, but especially if they have.

Wow.

I hope they don't also why they have low viewership and why we don't tune in.

You think you're bored?

If you ever find yourself bored or complaining of boredom or, worse, someone around you is, remember, it could always be worse. From The Star today:

New rest room lures hundreds to Lucas, Kan.

And the story?

LUCAS, KAN. -- Hundreds of people gathered in the central Kansas town of Lucas to take part in the grand opening of the town's quirky new public rest room.

Organizers said the Bowl Plaza Grand Opening was the culmination of a four-year dream to build a downtown rest room in Lucas. But Bowl Plaza, built with the help of a grant from the state Department of Commerce, never was intended to be a typical rest room.

The rectangular men's and women's building is shaped like a toilet tank, and the oval-painted entrance resembles an upraised toilet seat lid.

The walkway to and from the rest rooms is shaped like an unfurling toilet paper roll.

The daylong event Saturday included a toilet seat toss and Tubular Olympics with empty toilet paper rolls.

So just don't tell me you're bored and there's nothing to do, mmm-kay?

A weekend observation on Western civilization

One of the absolute best values for the money in the current Western world has to be the ability to purchase an entire toilet for $80.00.


Just sayin'...




Have a great weekend, y'all.
