Stupid News Stories

What the media considers news cracks me up.  During my month of sobriety I needed a hobby, so I started writing down the stupidest international stories I saw on TV.  Keep in mind, these are off HNN/CNN, not the internet.

Goats bring joy to nursing home
The lonesome shoe
Six-year old left on bus
Building a Lego ballpark
Man says doctor told him to wear skirt for rash
Dog takes out garbage
Man sells fake crack to the elderly
Butter knife stuck in boy's head
Drinking game charges for sitter
Dancing with oranges
G-string backlash
Armed pizza delivery man suspended
Balloons swept away priest
Cop ticketed by citizen
Blind man fights off intruder
Hollywood bear kills man
127 hairy men take part in international beard contest
8 foot gator in woman's home
Teen uses billboard to ask date to prom

Oh man, there's just too much goodness there to mock. I'm...crippled...by...options!

Keep up the good work, Byron! This is funny stuff.

Well, I might have to look up The Lonesome Shoe. Surely, that's newsworthy, loaded with pathos, kicking at the heart of life.

Yeah, don't you wonder sometimes how they manage to get in all this crap, but wars are breezed over or the space flights neglected.

(Side note: No books have arrived yet! I'm worried. Did you find ever find them (unmailed) ? )

My favorite is "Man sells fake crack to the elderly". That's so wrong on so many levels.

I guess they mislabled the address. I'll check the flower shop just in case (they do my mailing) they may have forgotten about it.
