How bad is local TV news?

    Good stuff. I sometimes watch the local ABC affiliate to check out the hottie they've got on there. I'd like to eat her liver with some fava beans and a bottle of Chianti. FFF FFF FFF FFFF.

    Agreed on the weather. Seriously, I don't need nine minutes of weather specialist guy tell me what he stole from weather.com. Give me the fucking 3-day forecast and a quick why. I don't need your seven days because you're always fucking wrong. I also don't need to hear you tell me about the low pressure system that will be here next Tuesday from Canada. Give me a freakin break.

    Come on, not a single mention of the sweeps weeks SPECIAL REPORTS:

    "TUNE in tonight as crack reporter Joe Jizz follow this person who looks like trailer trash but is minding his own business. WHAT DID HE DO TO YOUR KIDS?"

    "He drove drunk. When he was 20, which was 15 years ago. Past a school bus stop. Except it was 2 a.m. Had it been 8 a.m., your kid could be dead.

    A Ch. 78 exclusive, brought to you by your crew that cares, the eye in the sky, customer support team of Ch. 78."

    If you were focused more on the graphics behind her, you might be gay.

    If you've ever worked in Albany, you'll appreciate this new blog on the local TV stations' handing of the news of the day. It's written by Ed Dague, who until disability sidelined him a few years ago, was the dean of local news.

    I hate the damn shortcuts people use on internet -- e.g. LOL -- but I must say, I did LOL at reading that...

    the local NBC station I love to kick had their geekette sports shrew talking the other night -- a woman despited by the competition and co-workers alike for her attitude.
    So during their little Sunday night sports halfhour, everytime she referred to Nick Satan, it was "COACH Satan' with a tone of reverence... Just one of the 13 reasons not to watch this station

    Really? So you didn't think "boobies" when you saw "2 View" next to her Stepahnie Abrams-rivaling rack?

    You know what they say: when you point the finger at someone being gay, you have four same-sex fingers pointing back at you. And they're hard.

    "And now, for some tips:"

    "In cold weather, it's always best to wear warm clothing."

    "You should turn the heat on in your house."

    "If it's snowy or icy out, be careful when you drive."

    "And now, onto our next story..."
