I've noticed a lot of improper use of the Breaking News tab.
There have been a lot of Freepers posting threads celebrating their 3 year, 5 month, 2 day, 7 hour, 19 minute and 27 second anniverseries. YET NONE OF THEM ARE IN BREAKING NEWS!
Listen: The Breaking News tab is for every miscellaneous and random thought you might have, ESPECIALLY announcements of anniverseries. If we don't put these important announcements in one place, where we can find them, how can we have complete knowledge of current events?
PLEASE PEOPLE: USE THE BREAKING NEWS TAB PROPERLY. Post well, and post often.

Hmmmm. Where is your picture located? I'm seeing a red "X".
Hey thanks! But I'm not going to be creating any thread. I can't figure-out where they're supposed to go, and I see people getting bashed for posting them in the wrong places all the time.
And as for pictures, I can't remember all that HMTL stuff, so I just enjoy others.
I put my foot through the TV when Dan Blather was doing "his" evening news....Is that "Breaking News"?
I say it's high time for a Fixing News Tab or a Repairing News Tab.
Awwww. They're adorable. Well done!
Hey! How's come this ain't in Breaking News????
There're 5 more of various colors. They are one quarter beagle, one quarter pit bull, and one half shih tzu.
ROFL! I have a feeling Lazamataz will very much appreciate what you have brought to the party, MeekOne.

I would have guessed there was some Lab in there, too, but I can see the Shih tzu.
Cute.

If we make it too simple, then liberals will be able to post here.
:^D
That's a solution that would quickly succumb to Gresham's Law. Just throwing any old stuff into "breaking" would quickly degrade the category, and you'd have to rename "breaking" to "look at meeeee!" Nobody'd pay much attention to it after that. And you'd still have to have somebody come through periodically and remove postings from the list. I like my solution because the group gets to assess what's worth keeping at high visibility, and not the original poster or FR administrator.
I'm way better looking than Rick Moranis.
We could have John reprogram the article poster to append the words "You HITLER NAZI!" onto any thread title, and then it would also satisfy Godwins Law.
King Vanity and I are going out in a PNW storm tonight to Meet the Fockers, so if we don't come back......
HAPPY NEW YEARS!
What a lousy stormy night to go meet people you have to be very careful how you pronounce their names! ;)
Hope you have fun, hope it's a good movie, bundle up and keep warm and dry. Happy New Year!
