Today we’re playing the CNN headline game. A game where I read CNN.com and post my thoughts. Maybe even sometimes, I’ll link shit. Here goes…

CNN Headline: Truckers asked to look for a suspicious man.

Besides being shockingly obvious that truckers should be looking for suspicious looking sorts in the first place, isn’t that rather vague?

Person in Charge to trucker. “I want you to look for a suspicious man.”

Trucker. “You mean, like, a one-armed man? Or we talking dude has a radioactive glow kind of suspicious?”

CNN Headline: Nikon Will Stop Making Most Film Cameras

That’s a disturbing article. Not that moving into the digital age is bad (it isn’t) or that I’m a Nikon camera buff (I’m not, I use Canons and sometimes, cannons), but that they’re discontinuing so many film SLRs. They’re only keeping the top-of-the-line and the very bottom-of-the-line, which really limits choice. Of course, folks are supposed to start buying the DSLRs, but while they’re coming down in price, they’re still not down enough for most hobbyists. Especially when you compare features and price from film to digital SLR. For thousands of dollars in a DSLR, you can get the same features in a film SLR for much, much less.

Hell, or enough starting-out pros. Not that I’m bitter about having a DIGIC I processor in my DRebel and not a DIGIC II, or the look-down-upon-you view that so many pros have on people who use DRebels. Grr. I’d have a 20D or a 5D (*drool*) if I could afford it.

CNN Headline: Watch: Cameras record brutal attack on homeless man

…why the fuck would anyone want to watch that?

CNN Headline: Is your city mean to the homeless?

Yes. Next question.

Honestly, what city isn’t mean to the homeless?

CNN Headline: Merkel: We will not be intimidated by Iran (subheadline: Bush, Merkel united on Iran’s nuclear threat)

Bush+Iran+nuclear missles+”We won’t be fucked with, dammit, we’re America!”=nuclear war?

Does that scare the shit out of anyone else, or am I the only one?

I’m going to go crawl under a rock.
