I know it's a dumb thing to be amused by, but I had to laugh when I saw this in my RSS reader.
"BREAKING news. The 12-person jury in the David Folker murder trial has reached a decision at Newfoundland and Labrador Supreme Court." First, it's hilarious that the BREAKINGnews. picture is so much bigger than the actual news it's breaking -- and that it's got that period at the end of news. Breaking news -- sorry, BREAKING news is not exciting enough for an exclamation point, it must be read in perfect monotone! I mean, perfect monotone. And after that, you notice the second hilarious thing: there's no information here. The jury has reached a decision! What was the decision? Iunno. Does it matter what they decided, as long as they decide anything? Aw shucks, who cares! BREAKING NEWS what news BREAKING NEWS it was second-degree murder BREAKING NEWWWWS.
um
BREAKING! NEWS.
The words "breaking" and "news" no longer mean anything to me D:
