Could you BE any more sensitive?


So today (like I do every work day) I had the headphones on listening to CNN (watching only the interesting parts, which there were none) and heard a “breaking” report about a small plane crashing in Delaware.

Ok, so I looked at that, only because the puppet head news readers were making such a big deal about the carnage and burnt track the plane left. They almost seemed as though they were slathering at the ruins of the plane. It was at this point that the guy puppet head nearly screeched “we’ve just been told that there was one victim of this crash, and that person BURNED TO DEATH”. He almost seemed gleeful when he said it. Then he said it like 7 more times as he explained over and over and over again that a plane crashed and one person BURNED TO DEATH.

I’m all for getting the news out there in a timely fashion and all, but do these morons not realize that the deceased person’s loved ones may be waking up, drinking their coffee, watching CNN only to hear that a small plane (which daddy/husband/brother was flying) has crashed and he BURNED TO DEATH? Did I, or any of the other viewers really need to know that this poor soul BURNED TO DEATH? Did puppet head guy even know the poor person BURNED TO DEATH? They barely could figure out that a plane crashed, didn’t even know how many people were in it, but seemed pretty confident that one person BURNED TO DEATH during the accident. How nice.

I didn’t get to hear any updates on that story because the puppet headed vultures realized that parts of Washington State and Oregon literally washed and blew away last night and there was good footage of death and destruction, so the poor guy that BURNED TO DEATH was old news.

I’m sure his loved ones don’t think so.
