QotD

Why do QotD suck so bad?

I get up every morning at 6 and hit the treadmill (i'm up to a minute and a half now) and CNN is always on the tv in the workout room. It's a great channel for news and what's happening in the world, but i think they should just stick to news and not try so hard at making news 'fun'. if i want to see something about a panda breaking out of a zoo and impregnating 18 women, i'll go to my local news station. if i want to know about Britney's new pictoral in Jugs magazine, i'll watch MTV, but don't try to throw in something light hearted on a news channel. it doesn't work and the anchors just don't know how to respond.

today's QotD was 'What was the all time best band?' or something along those lines. This isn't a question you ask on CNN. People on CNN don't know what a band is. if i want to know that the greatful dead or the beatles or led zeppelin or michael 'i didn't molest those children, i made love to them' jackson was the best band of all time, i'd go to vh1 every hour on the hour. and when the 'correspondant' asking the question, turns to the anchors to get their input, could some writer have made a worse choice?

"uhhhhh....heheh.....i uh......i think NSync is the best band ever Danny, hehehehe.....heh......."
or
"well, are the beanie babies still on tour?"

yeah, no shit.

so can we think of some real questions that will really quiz the american public instead of making them respond in iambic pentameter to find out that the partridge family is still the best group ever?

here are a few i'm offering:

• What does Diane Sawyer's naked ass look like?
• Why is women's tennis so erotic?
• Would peanut butter be any good if it weren't sticky?
• Who decided to name an all-terrain, amphibious vehicle after a blow job?
• Why hasn't William Hung been shot and killed yet?
• Does George Bush have good taste in suits?
• Why can't commercials be more to the point?
• Does the phrase 'it looks like someone set fire to her face and put it out with a wet chain' accurately descibe Beyonce?
• Why do some people not wash thier hands after using the bathroom?

• Why do all my great ideas come to me in the morning, but i've forgotten all of them by the time i get to work? grrrrrr.....

I really had a great list and now that i've started drinking, they're gone. figures. you get my point though. don't trouble a guy who wants to be a real anchor with these crappy questions that no one cares about at 6 in the morning. and certainly don't ask the bull dyke giving us the news a reason to say anything that's not really news worthy. they have enough trouble just making her look like a girl, much less have her discuss topics where the answers aren't on cue cards.
