Headlines: The Intervention

I am so crabby this morning, you guys, it’s ridiculous. On a normal day, I would just let things slide. But not today. Today, I’m staging an intervention.

First: I AM BEGGING someone at 630 CHED to send Ed Mason to pun rehab. I am a card carrying member of the “report news in new and interesting ways” fan club – but seriously, this is like getting your news from Wayne & Shuster. Or my dad. If you don’t get this under control, I’m calling Jeff VanVonderen.

Second: Global TV, your website makes me want to murder my eyes. Too many links! Not enough information! Though, if I’m looking for all the headlines from the Edmonton Journal, it’s very helpful.

Third: CBC, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE update your website early in the morning or in the overnight. There’s nothing worse than hearing you guys discuss something interesting in the morning that I can’t find any additional information on.

:(

Okay, I’m done getting my grump on. It’s now time to read the news and be happy! Oh, and while you’re being happy, be happy for us – because we’re just a stone’s throw from hitting post #300!

    Haha…I’m glad I’m not the only one noticing CBC’s website guy doesn’t show up until 9 or 10.

    Good zing on Global too, I hate not being able to link to their stories. I’m just trying to help drive people to YOUR website, guys. Throw us a bone! (I noticed the other day something similar with CTV video stories though…)

    CHED does like the puns…and alliteration…and the word “bandit.”

    Holy Crap! We’re going to hit post 300? I should pay more attention.

    No, I made too many zings. Daily zing quota exceeded! I don’t know why I’m such a hate tank today. :(
