This is not a RIP Whitney Houston thread, it's a "why the (bleep) did you interrupt the viewing of a kids' show to say Whitney Houston is dead"? First, we sat there thinking the President had been shot or something, I mean it was downright weird given how long it took them to get to the point, because we figured it had to be pretty important. Second, it's a kid show - I know you really want to be first to break the news, but really? Morons.
Yeah, I witnessed that Saturday night and I’m completely disgusted. It just underscores how “Lamestream Media” is hyperfocused on what it decides to call “News”. In this case, a really messed up singer, way past her prime.
Now all the networks are stumbling over each other to rush out programs about her fabulous life. Who really gives a rip?
Where did we fail her ?
Oh, I forgot...probably George Bush’s fault.
There’s going to be a huge line outside of Whitney Houston’s funeral next week.

The RTNDA (Radio Television News Directors Association) has an annual convention. They produce a ‘gag’ tape consisting of newscast bloopers from the last year or so.
I have a VHS copy of one from the late 80’s that has the song as its sound track.
Is the head dead yet?
Get the widow on the set.
Well, we are dealing after all with the death of the woman who taught us that the “greatest love of all” is learning to love ourselves.
