CNN has been reporting about the Pope’s condition for the last couple of days. The headline is: Pope Close to Death. The interesting part is that every other station reports about it, for about 5 minutes and then carries onto the next story. Well CNN feels it needs to follow the story almost as much as Sept 11th. They hire hearsayers and speculators to fill the other 55 minutes of each hour. What do they talk about? They have their video relays from “knowledgable” people from around the world where its believed that the further away a speculator is from us, the more he/she knows. They speak as if the Pope is already dead. They basically post his obituary and read out his eulogy. You cant tell, while watching, if he is dead or not.

The other interesting thing is that currently, both CNN stations are showing LIVE pictures from Vatican City. Yet one says 3:40am and its dark out and the other says 6:40am and its light out. Both reporters seem to be quite sure they are reporting LIVE. One wonders if the later one will break the news of the Pope’s death 3hrs earlier then the second CNN channel.

What person finds this much speculation informative and necessary?

From the website:

Two men have spent six months eating 350 Easter eggs….

During the course of their 10-year careers, Jeff and Rahul estimate they have eaten their way through a whopping 6,000 eggs and 4,000 boxes of chocolate, the majority of which have been tried at this time of year.

I feel sick…
