Have you "friended" any news outlets on Facebook? If you haven't please do! And be sure at least one of them is local. One of my greatest pleasures these days is reading the comments - and comments on comments - posted by the jury of my peers currently populating my Facebook space.
So one of our
local news stations (best known for their sensational journalism, hyperbole, and alliteration) posts this pretty dry, yet informative piece about Hurricane Earl:
Ladies and gentlemen, I present The People of Facebook:
 |
| You've got your Generic Likers |
|
 |
| The Slightly Pissed Off |
 |
| The I Told You So's |
 |
| The Truly Pissed Off |
 |
| The Attackers |
 |
| The Defenders |
 |
| The Rebutters |
 |
| The Defenders - This time it's personal |
 |
| The Random Hate Speakers |
 |
| The Clairvoyant Grammarians |
 |
| The English Teachers (okay, these are my people) |
Think I'll stay on the right side of the law. The jury pool's pretty shallow...
I love your blog and I love facebook. And THAT POST is why.
ReplyDeleteAlso, you would not be "too" worried. Argh.
ReplyDeleteHysterical. People get very serious about very silly things on the internet.
ReplyDeleteAwesome. I fall in the English teacher category as well. I'm starting to love news comments as much as I love the Real Housewives.
ReplyDeleteOMG> That is too funny!
ReplyDeleteNews comments blow me away. I finally stopped reading the ones on the major sights. Surprised you didn't have a screen grab of someone bringing that missed forecast back to politics and who's to blame. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteEven I've had enough.
And in defense, I was a meteorology major for two years. That shiznit is hard!
I love you're mind ;-)
Who knew weather forecasting could be SO controversial? ;) Thanks for the laughs...
ReplyDeleteI love the grammar police posts!
ReplyDeleteI am guilty of watching whdh every morning...hey, at least they aren't fox ;)
