Default Gotta love the news...

Just saw this story this morning on the news in San Diego. http://news.yahoo.com/s/kgtv/20051123/lo_kgtv/3079530
They had a tv story about it also. I love how news channels always try to scare the public into watching.

...Tonight after the wacky sports report and the weather with super duper doppler nine hundred million thousand!

Florida was famous for reports like the above. But they'd usually throw in a little 'is your family in danger this thanksgiving holiday?'

I think WHDH in Boston might have been the brainchild of this, they've been doing the huge graphics and "Are you going to die?" stories since 95 or so... (They also own WSVN in Miami, which might explain that)

Of course, they're #1 in the news ratings, so the ends justify the means
