01. 8.02 I'd just like to share

I'd just like to share two news stories with you real quick:

1) ..And this is sad: Dave Thomas, (yes, THAT Dave Thomas, the founder of Wendys) died today. I always thought of Dave as a cool guy (plus he did all that stuff for adopted kids, since he was one), and he was always funny in those commercials.

And 2) Well...just read it yourself: NEW YORK (AP) - Embarrassed CNN executives have yanked an on-air promotion that referred to anchorwoman Paula Zahn as "sexy" and was accompanied by the sound effect of a zipper. In the ad, a narrator asks, "Where can you find a morning news anchor who's provocative, super-smart (and) oh, yeah, just a little sexy? CNN, yeah, CNN", the narrator answers.

This is not only wrong because it hurts her journalistic integrity, but because if a commercial is calling any cable newswoman sexy, it should be that hottie on MSNBC, Ashleigh Banfield! Oh well...I can dream. Later.
