Stupid People
part 2 – Stupid People on the News
I don’t like weather men and women in this area. In fact, all of the news people around here irk me. It seems that they bitch about the weather every day.
Now, I am guilty of bitching about the heat, but these people have me beat, hands down. They gripe all summer about the heat, the humidity, blah blah blah. So then we have the first day that it stays at about 65F. It’s not boiling hot, rather nice actually. Are they happy? Nooooooooooo. They keep on bitching. “Where did this cold air come from, Dave? When can we expect to see some more warm weather?” When winter rolls around, they change their tune to, “When can we expect to see some higher temperatures?” (Hey, aren’t you the same goober that was complaining about that warm weather the other day? It’s called making up your mind … look into it.)
If the temperature was hovering around the 40F mark, they whine, “When is it going to heat up, Dave?”
If it was 80F, “When is it going to cool down, Dave?”
If it has been raining, “When is it going to clear up, Dave?”
If it stops raining, “When are we going to get some more rain, Dave?”
If it has been 60F, clear with a slight breeze blowing, “When are you going to stop sleeping with my wife, Dave?”
You’d think that they would just use that massive amount of hair spray to fix the cloud in the position they way that they want them. These are people whose thrill of the week is getting to report which celebrity the Betty Ford Clinic is cleaning up this week. And perhaps therein lies the problem …
heh…they do the same thing up here…no wonder i never watch the news!!!

They started choreographing the hands of the news people here and it makes me so insane I quit watching. Everybody touching their fingertips all the time when nobody does that in real life.
i believe they call that newsroom chatter, swirly, a stupid thing that makes them look stupid
Just an “LOL” and an “I’m with you there…”
I hear ya! Although you forgot to mention how they are consistently WRONG!!! “Yep…an overcast day turning into heavy showers late afternoon.”
Hmmm is that a blue sky with not a cloud in sight? Oh yeah….go the weatherman!

I’m not sure when watching some glamorpuss on tv became preferable to opening a window and sticking one’s head out, but it has yet to become a good idea.
No matter where you go in the world, they always talk about the weather. It’s the universal language of “I aint got jack else to say”.
So a meterologist has a job in which they are required to say they got jack to say?
I think they are like that all over the world, ST..
I think the overall quality of television is dropping. They are catering for the “ordinary people” and probably think they’re too stupid to shoot. What puzzles me is that these same people actually accept that and watch the daily crap and really enjoy what they see! They should be insulted but nope; they love it!
Hi, swirly! As you can see I’m back from Hungary already. Read the sad story on yesterday’s blog.
“What are you doing, Dave? Stop, Dave…”
sorry that just made me think of that
Meteorologists and baseball players have the best jobs in the world. Both can fail more than 2 out of 3 times and keep their jobs!
At least it’s not as bad as here. On the Fox station in L.A., they’ve turned the weather-woman into a sex object. They have all these steamy commercials to get people to watch her forecast and she’s even been in Playboy recently. It’s pathetic, but their morning show has the highest ratings because of it.
oh geez, that is soooo true. In the winter the weather morons up here say things like, “well,we got another half an inch of snow today…” like it matters at ALL after we’ve broken the 150-inch mark. But every once and a while they will all concede that we had a “nice day”….
LOL! That’s the way they are in my area too…
Swirly….its not just in NC….its in FL, MD, and AL for sure…I dont know about the other states:o) But I can guarantee that they do the same crap in FL, MD and AL ;0) Have a great day….maybe not too hot… or cold for that matter ~Kimber
What I hate is when it’s 105 degrees, the guy says you know I love the heat but last night I had to turn on my air conditioning. wtf?
Maybe that’s why he has brain damage!
