3 Guys, a House and a Web Site: All the News You Don't Need to Know
2/12/07
WiGgY: What are you watching?
Mike: Anna Nichole Smith is dead. The news has been covering it for 4 days straight, but I can't turn the TV off.
News Anchor: These are some of the stories we won't be covering: Civil War in the Middle East, a local child who goes by the name Thy is missing, President Bush kills a baby. More on those stories afer our month long coverage of Anna Nichole Smith's death.
Mike: Why are they spending time telling us what they won't be covering?
WiGgY: Because if they didn't you wouldn't know what they aren’t telling you.
Mike: That makes no sense!
WiGgY: Obviously you don't know anything about how the news works. You see, the news isn't about giving us information events that matter. They tell you about sex, celebrity gossip, and promoting reality TV shows produced by the parent company of the station. It's about keeping you in your seat so you'll watch their commercials.
News Anchor: Up next, who will be the next "American Idol", and is Simon really a British asshole? We'll let you know after this commercial for penis growth pills.
WiGgY: See?.
