Slow News Day

[Yar]

Good Morning Yahoo! (http://gmy.news.yahoo.com/v/12053977)

Oh, my. The kid's a genius. He catches a test error where the test question mistakenly states "omission" instead of "emission". Ends up on FOX News.

Funny enough, when the FOX News Anchor asks him if he had just used a grammatical error while introducing him, he tells "no."

What are some slow news day topics you have seen recently? :p

Last week one of the news stations spent 5 minutes on a full story about how the pilot of the plane that landed in the Hudson had an overdue library book with him on the plane and the library was going to waive the fines.

This kid is amazing and my new hero.

At least that is what I would be saying if the entire story wasn't hogwash and the kid didn't look and sound like a pretentious jackass.

[Monkey4Soul]

Slow news? It's Fox. It's always slow until they've got some political propaganda to shove down your throat.

[Peegee]

These are so annoying to watch. At least he's not a total social reject; these are typically dry and boring.

Hey gais, a bunch of people made a mistake lol a smarty pants ^______^

[LunarWeaver]

The Jonas Brothers' nicknames told with great excitement like the Holy Grail had just been discovered in the Loch Ness Monster's vagina. Well, at least now I know Joe calls himself "Danger". Thank you news!

[Levian]

On the news today, a hangar fell apart while the wrecking crew was tearing it down. Apparently the shocking part was that it fell apart sooner than it was supposed to.

On top of that, nobody even got hurt. Don't you just hate it when that happens?

[Jessweeee♪]

Whaaaaat, I was expecting the kid to at least be like, six or something. Then it might be impressive enough for extra credit from the teacher. I've done this like six times, WHY DIDN'T I GET ON THE NEWS?!

[Darkswordofchaos]

Somtimes i wonder what consitutes "news"

[Momiji]

what the hell

I catch errors on my professors' tests and handouts all the time, but I don't say anything for fear I fall out of favor of them! < /teacher's pet>

And it says he 'saved the day' in the captions. Anyone who didn't have the mental capacity to read the word phonetically and see how it reads into the sentence doesn't deserve to get the question right anyway! I mean, seriously now, 'omission' and 'emission' have very different meanings, so certainly one wouldn't work in the context!

Lol i would def call them out on it

[Balzac]

I wouldn't have. I'd have crossed it out in red pen and corrected it. And then handed it in.

very intriguing post. :p

[blackmage_nuke]

Once there was a story on the news about a kid who had a party and sorta wrecked up the neighbourhood. Seems like a legitamate story but it was on the news for about over a week.

[Bunny]

No you wouldn't have.

[Balzac]

Yes I would.

We had a slow news day here a few years ago when the only thing they could report was these two measy planes flying into these towers. It must have been a slow news month because I swear it was never off the damned TV. The bored news reporters still bring it up now & again.

[Magixion]

Who else thinks EoFF should come up with some bogus thing to do to get ourselves on the news?

[Garnie]

as a British citizen, i think it is only right to say that england had a genuine real problematic news headline for 3 days! i mean, who ever heard of this white,wet, cold substance called snow?

[Momiji]

Oh yeah, I wonder what the Obama girls are eating for lunch today?

[GameMasta]

I remember going on CNN.com, and they had a 40 second long video where Obama bumps his head against an airplane door. It was him walking to a plane most of the video, and then he gently bumps his head against the door at the very end, and that's it. I was wondering why they even bothered to show the video. :mad:

[Quindiana Jones]

Fox News.

All that needs to be said.

[Yar]

Fox News.

All that needs to be said.Naw, this is pretty sad, even for Fox' standards. Even on a slow news day, Fox can provide some lulz.

[Quindiana Jones]

When I log in to the radio stuff at work, the lady voice says "log on accepted", but says it in a way that I'm convinced she's saying "excepted" and it really pisses me off. Can I be on the news now please?

[Gwawr]

Every day in Bangor is a slow news day. NOTHING happens in North Wales.

I've genuinely heard a news bulletin about sheep being stolen in Anglesey. All we need now are coalmine stories and we're the stereotype we always used to be.

[Moon Rabbits]

There was this one week a few years ago when there was like no fun news so "America invades Iraq" was all they could scrape up.

[qwertysaur]

My Aunt has a Cockroach allergy. :confused: She announces it every 5 minutes so it's like the news to me :p

[Jessweeee♪]

Me! We should stick a bunch of sporks in the ground to spell out EoFF in a bunch of places so people think we're part of some crazy cult!

I'm sure we could pull off the crazy cult part well. :tongue:

[Levian]

Sticking sporks in the ground sounds like too much effort. Can't we just attack Paula Abdul?

The crazy cult thing sounds cool though. Maybe we could do that next.

[Jiro]

I support this spork idea, or something similar. It would be a global conspiracy until someone google'd it.

[Blue Harvest]

Aren't we already a crazy cult? :p

[GameMasta]

Aren't we already a crazy cult? :p

Yes, but no one else knows of us...yet. :radred:

[Denmark]

How's that dog coming, President Obama?

[Fonzie]

We were on SomethingAwful once, and I can't really seperate the difference between Fox and SA these days, so...
