The HARLOT Predicted: Media Blazes Away about Y2K

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

Just HAD to come on and vent. I stated on here about two weeks ago, that after Christmas, approximately the 26th/27th, you would see television media blazing away about Y2K. Prior to Christmas, you hardly heard anything.

Today it has been everywhere. CNN, MSNBC, you name it. Now that Pokemon and Furbies are a thing of past-tense, what naturally is the next biggest story ? Would you ever have guessed ? Still a bunch of SPIN crap, but none the less, it is now everywhere.

I think reporters have just made tops on my list of "most sickening professions", if you can call perpetual lying a profession. Attorneys just placed 2nd.

Oh, and I just realized that I don't have the stomach flu, I have a "craw full of spin" and my body is trying it's best to reject it.

and what ticks me off is that they will torture and horrify the public with bad news.

Congratulations Rob. Out of all the many pre-rollover predictions made by Yourdon, North, Hyatt, etc., I think yours is the only one to have come true.

The difference between lawyers and journalists is that there actually are some honest lawyers.

Rob,

Don't you mean to place attorneys 3rd, after politicians and reporters (who are vying for 1st)?

Lurker,

Attorney's are nothing but politicians in larvae form. When they hatch, they are then adult, fully developed and parasitic "politicians".

It is at this stage that they should NOT be handled as they are quick, sly and full of toxic venom. They can be easily identified by their forked tongue and wicked but alluring smile. I.E. "Slick Willie" Clinton.

Attorney = Politician (eventually in some form)

Sorry for offending any lurkers but, hey, that's just the way I feel. Should have picked a different profession. ***wink***
