I used to have respect for CNN news. Note the past tense. Yesterday, Steve and I were sat in a government building to sort some stuff out, and they had the news on the idiot box. There's a reason why I haven't watched TV since I quit smoking: it fills me with rage.
There was a story about how thin women make more money than plumper women.
I turned to Puppy, and said, "Next they'll have as breaking news: 'Cake is delicious!'"
Seriously, people. I understand that it's a slow news day, but there comes a point where there is no point to saying something, if what you're going to say is bloody inane and mindless. There was other news going on. Unfortunately, none of that was apparently ratings-worthy enough to warrant any time. No no. I had to sit there and listen to inane patter about how the study was so "interesting" and how it "revealed so much".
If I were rolling my eyes harder, they'd turn around.
The preceding story was about how people with high IQ tend to drink more. Guess what? Now we know why.
