Something is not going to happen.
Is this MJ coverage way out of control, or is it just me?

Oh man, imagine all the great headlines that one could come up with, all things that will NOT happen.

I remember when Anna Nicole Smith died - something else happened in the news that day, but her death got all the front-page and headline coverage.

Dude's dead. Move on.

Breaking news: Michael Jackson not related to Andrew Jackson, DNA tests reveal.

I'm as cynical as the next MacNN'er, but I'm still astounded at how our world media grabs onto crap news and flings it around like a proverbial monkey. I really couldn't care less about all the "celebrity news" being vomited at us...how about the issues that truly affect us?

Hey, they can fake those tests. All it takes is money.

Breaking News: News agencies after advertising dollars, use whatever will get them eyeballs.

You should appreciate trailer trash. We need someone to keep the American breweries employed and tornadoes localized.

I can appreciate your angle there, but after working closely around them for the last 16 years, I've about had it. I'll take my chances with the tornados and cigarette and brewery staff shortages...

Breaking News: CNN doesn't provide any actual breaking news!

I've noticed sometimes that the Breaking News section of CNN is nothing more than a simple Twitter post.

Sorry, your image was blocked by work. I hereby retract my typographer snark.

harbinger75 · Jul 2, 2009, 09:54 PM

A general "lol" at this thread.

harbinger75 · Jul 7, 2009, 09:11 AM

This is, apparently, all that's going on in the world, according to CNN...

Took me a second to realize that wasn't also a joke headline!

No, that one was intended to induce terror.
