The other day I was watching Dr. Phil. On a commercial break, a brief “news update” came on. The anchor asked “what is in your fridge?” She continued “…and why you could die from eating a certain food…tune in at 9.” I dropped the fork.
I wonder why a news provider would make such a horrific statement with no supporting details explaining or qualifying her statement. I imagine this problem will only get worse and the following quotes will be in a “news brief” in the near future.
“Why you might have brain cancer…tune it at 8.”
“Why the person next to you is a murderer…see you in 30 minutes.”
“Why you might die if you leave the house…see you in six hours?”
I believe the media’s intention is to leave its viewers in a perpetual state of fear.
Thoughts?

LMAO! Two things:
1) Why the hell were you watching Dr.Phil? You do know he is a big fat phoney, right?
2) “How you could die from using the computer at work…see you after you clock out.”
LOLOLOLOL… Yes, please explain immediately why you were watching Dr. Phil.
And not only were you watching Dr. Phil, but you were having a meal. Which lets me know that you were sitting down and relaxing to Phil.
“How to lose friends…see you after Dr. Phil.”
I’m trying to figure out what part is funnier. The dinner date with Dr. Phil or the News Madness.
Not sure what the problem is about Dr Phil but where I live he is somewhat of a hero and his shows airs around lunchtime.
We seemed to have veered away from the scare tactics newsmen are using to frighten you into watching their broadcast. And you know what grinds my gears? Well…they put those scary stories at the end of the broadcast. You gotta wait for the end of the show to find out “why you should not wear shoes with laces…” News at 10.
*throws away sneakers*
LOL, but they always, ALWAYS wait until 10:58 to show the story you have been watching the news for the past hour to see.
When it does come up, its 30 seconds long featuring a random video clip that usually reveals nothing of importance.
“Why you should not eat whit rice…Find out on News @ 10 tonight after Dr.Phil”
Dr. Phil is somewhat of a hero? To who?
Are you kidding me?
Yea, that is wild.
Phillip? A Hero?
WOOL!!!
Phillip…LMAO.
I don’t find any of this funny. (That’s a lie.)
How about, “How watching the news can kill you…tune in at 8.”
Watching the news really can kill you in my opinion. Too much depressing shit.
Also, Dr.Phil is no more of a hero than Oprah. The two of them should be flushed down the toilet. How can you give out advice when the only thing to be admired about your life is the money that you make?
GASP!
You made negative comments about Oprah? You DO know people worship her correct? To some, she is the female Jesus.
That is all.
did you ever tune in at 9 to see what food you could die from?
Nope. I forgot to tune in four hours later. There, my blog friends, lies the prollum.
Also, I think Big O is great. If you had a magazine you’d put yourself on the cover every month too.
I Love Oprah?
