I'd rather drive with pie...
Are you hinting that Larry got a Darwin Award?
I would post this under "Petty Vents" but I think it more appropriately goes here.
Our local NBC television station has got to be the most elementary and poorest in the nation when it comes to capability.
During a report a couple of months ago the anchor reported a story about a sizeable vehicle accident on the nearby interstate highway. There were a number of injuries and a few casualties. Names of the dead were disclosed and, at one point, the anchor commented that after the collision, Mr. John Doe stated that he was dead. He WAS dead since he was listed in sentences earlier that he was one of the victims. Glenn and I just shook our heads
But, last night's 10 p.m. news just rocked the boat. There'd been a house fire where the single occupant/owner was found dead inside. So far, so good.
However, since we live in a somewhat rural area, homes aren't necessarily elbow-to-elbow next to each other. The on-site reporter stated that no one sought to help because the home could only be seen if one was either walking or driving by it. Hmmmm? What else does that leave? Aircraft of some sort, drone, submarine?
The station has had multiple cutbacks and, now, the anchors and reporters are responsible for writing, proofing and editing their own copy. Whoa! They have a long way to go.
And...don't even let me get started on spelling and grammatical errors. Some of the "crawling" alerts across the bottom of our screen look like a child did them after failing a spelling test.
