Tropical Storm Fay Coverage

Well its our first TROPICAL STORM of the season to hit Florida and the local news agencies are all in a flutter, trying to see who can hype it more than the rest.

Today's local idiot at the beach reporter award goes to WFTV Channel 9 who had a reporter and the beach in the typical rain slicker when the camera pans to the shore he says "and look at those wipers on the cars going" like it was some incredible observation that windshield wipers tend to go back and forth when it rains. I guess he was expecting them somehow to be going faster since it was a tropical storm.

Too bad nobody in Orlando cares about the waves crashing against the sand since they do that every day but the local and national news seems to think we are all morons. What we really want to know is what the weather looks like inside the city limits of the tropical storm area, not at the beach, cause nobody is going to the beach on tropical storm day except you idiots.

And speaking of idiots, when a CNN beach reporter asked a kid why he was out in such bad weather his reply was "so I can be on TV". Hmmm, if you guys weren't out there gawking, maybe nobody else would either. Just once I'd like to see them interviewing some hurricane gawker and a piece of metal slices through their skull and drops them dead while we are all watching. It will take that before the stop acting like idiots.
