Thread: Slow News Day

  1. #1

    Default Slow News Day

    Good Morning Yahoo!

    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?

    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.

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

    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!

    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?

    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?!

    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!

    I wouldn't have. I'd have crossed it out in red pen and corrected it. And then handed it in.
    You hold my heart in your manly hands I wanna feel the throb of your handsome gland. I wanna hold you tight like a newborn kitten, against my flesh like a cashmere mitten. Tickly tick, I'm makin' skin bump heaven and all the way down it's lookin' cleanly shaven. Prickety pricks, it's stubble on stubble I better slow down or I'm in real trouble. Want you, touch you, feel you, taste you! Knick knack whacky whack 'till I see the man stew. spin you around let me see that hole! I'm a tunnelin' in a like a short hair mole. Once I'm inside I'm gonna leave a trace, half in there and half on that face! One finger, two finger, there fingers gone! Mano a mano I love you John!
