Imagine the bitching and potential lawsuits if that weather report had NOT broken in to give the tornado update, and people were killed as a result.
They could do the warnings instead of commercials and run a split screen full time. Instead, the weather persons tend to hijack TV programming for hours on end.
The weatherMAN is completely correct on this and if I were the station, I would back him up.
Just as an aside, I knew a gay co-worker in Austin who was spreading gossip that one of the tv weathermen in town was gay. Then I thought about it and realized most of them were probably gay.
Jamie Simpson seems to fit the mold. Now re-listen to his comments and it seems completely in character of a gay man.
Well, he didn’t blow a gasket or anything. I’m glad he called out people commenting on social media. What’s the average IQ of regular viewers of the Bachelorette? And what’s the IQ of people who would comment about it being more important than tornado warnings?
Or just don’t warn such people and let Darwinism take care of the rest.
I wish he had not apologized.
He was doing his job and if the viewers don’t like it, they can suck it up and not complain next time the NWS doesn’t give a warning and their lives are destroyed.
“Never mind 12 years. A few of you have 12 minutes to live. Ah, never mind.”
The “ME” generation strikes again.
“Ohio Weatherman Snaps at Viewers as Tornado Warning Interrupts ‘The Bachelorette’ (Video)”
I think they meant “Thnapths”.
I hate those stupid weather alerts. They’re loud, obnoxious, long as they have to get through their stupid theme song first, and then involve the next county over. Really with the EBS hooked to the SMS system there’s simply no reason for the TV “warnings”.
Let’s see, watching The Bachelorette, getting upset when it’s interrupted briefly with possibly life-saving information, and then telling other morons about it on social media. And we let women vote.
