Our News is Better than Your News

Last night we watched one of those ridiculous news magazines - you know, the ones that mockingly take themselves so oh so very seriously. One of the stories was about a woman who sued Sears because their telemarketers wouldn't stop calling her. She got some settlement, but that's not the important part of the story - after they were through they flashed an ad for their website (www.ournewsislegitbutnobodyelsesis.com or some crap) and I wanted to go onto their site to see if there was an ad for Sears flashing at the bottom. I just know there has to be. Besides that there was some story about a man who raised his kids only to discover years later that they weren't his. A very simple story the news magazine made complicated - worse yet they gave the cheating mom air time which she used to cry and complain that it was his fault for putting the kids through it. I hope to Goodness that nobody fell for her crap. I told her off, and I hope most people did. I'm afraid, however, that there were probably thousands of people out there who were thinking, oh, poor poor girl - she can't even have an extramarital affair without her meanie husband making a big deal out of it! Of the poor thing. You know what she can do? I do.
