I was watching "The Fugitive" tonight on NBC or whatever it was, and this local new anchor comes on with this newsflash... "A Northwest Austin couple woke up to a grizzly scene Sunday..." And I'm thinking, "Oh my gosh, what happened", prepping for the worst. Then he continues... "Three deer were found shot and left for dead in a dumpster. 2 were decapitated and it is presumed for their antlers. We'll have more on this story at 10pm". I just kind of sat their motionless. WHAT? You led in this story with that? Anyhow, this was the top story on the news just now and the reason it was is because one of the deer was shot in the backyard of someone's home. I don't want to see animals die, but deer are shot every day -- don't break in with that scare. Guess I should be thankful the top story wasn't what I thought it was. ------------------ NOTHING BUT .NET CLUTCHCITY.NET
Be glad you don't live in Houston. Once channel 2 broke in on an afternoon show to describe a horse that got his back legs stuck in a drainage ditch. They actually had the news chopper flying over to get an aerial view of the situation! By the way, that story is just sick!!! Putting that on would make me want to puke! ------------------ Me fail English? That's unpossible.
LOL. I noticed that too. I heard them first mention it around 7pm or so, but they wouldn't say what happened. They just said "a couple discovers something sad and terrible in their backyard, more at 10", or something like that. I was sitting there thinking their little kid had been killed or something. And I never knew what actually happened until I saw this thread! That's pretty bad.
It's a sucker headline... It's how the news station get's you to tune back in for their news... whether it's newsworthy or not! happy watchin' rH
Clutch, you do remember that you live in Austin, right? I mean, Jesus himself could be back in the flesh, and they'd have six weather reports and some story about a local eccentric before even mentioning it. ------------------ "Knickerbocker Please!" visit www.swirve.com, coming January 20th, the top 10 films of 2000! http://www.geocities.com/clutch34_2000 for great Rocket insight by some of your fellow BBS posters!
My god the news is getting sad! I can see the media getting more and more desperate everyday, I can even see something like this happening. . ."Breaking a news: A brutal hit-and-run costs one their life": A little dog was hit while crossing the expressway: Officer: It was trying to cross the street, and, and. . . News-Anchor: And what? Officer: Some sick b*stard ran it down and left it here to die! News-Anchor: And you want us to break into the "The Fugitive" for this!? Officer: Someone killed a freaking DEER and you broke into movie! ------------------ Dream a deadly Dream. . . [This message has been edited by RocksMillenium (edited February 05, 2001).]
I hate it when they break in and don't give the story... BREAKING NEWS -- Blood, carnage, and death on the streets of Bellaire. More at 10. Then you find out that someone's pet cat was hit by a car, and is recovering at a local animal hospital. OR Poison in the water -- tests reveal that there are dangerous chemicals in the water that could be KILLING YOU! Tune in at 10 to find out if you are in danger. ------------------ Stay Cool...
In montana, that happens everyday lol. ------------------ May I have another Snowball Clutch? Please may I? Ill be a good little mole.... I promise.
