Florida Sun-Sentinel = Sin-Sensational!

January 26th, 2012 by SBG | 1 Comment | Filed in Rants

We all know that news reporting in South Florida, if not America, is a lost and dead art. But there still is a need for citizens to be able to quickly see what is going on within our community. Sadly, one of the absolute worse “newspapers online” is the Florida Sun-Sentinel.  They remind me of the old National Enquirer in their more disgusting days.

Here are the main news stories on the front page of the Sin-Sensational website today as of 9:30 am today. I have highlighted what I consider to be not only not news, but just sensational stories, disgusting stories, trying to feed on the worse element of human nature. 

Woman charged with sexually assaulting teen | Video

Rodgers calls Flynn to Fins a ‘strong possibility’

Accused ‘Toxic Tush’ helper attacked on TV show stage

Report: Breast implant saved stabbing victim’s life 

Tour pushes medicinal pot use for seniors

Sex offender accused of raping Bradenton toddler

Ives Dairy interchange work at I-95 starts Feb. 1 | Traffic alerts

Theft of school cash a growing temptation

Florida man ate victim’s brain after axe slaying, cops say

Today’s Buzz: Did Obama’s speech fuel class warfare?

Seven out of ten of the “articles” are just liquid crap squeezed out of the Sun-Sentinel plastic crap bottle.  Examples:

  • The Pembroke Pines sex story has been from top page for a long time now. Not because it is really news, but because it is a weird, disgusting and sensational event.
  • The Breast Implant story is from Brevard County. How is that “News” to readers in Miami-Dade, Broward or even Palm Beach County?
  • Again, the child molestation story is from Bradenton, way over on the other side of the state. Is this really hot news we need to know right away on the SE coast????
  • The brain eating story is in Connecticut. Sure, the guy used to live in Florida, but really, are we reporting on every crime committed in other states by current or former Floridians? Or only when they they are zombies???
  • Class warfare? That is not even news, just an attempt to rile people up so they spend more time on the page.

My suggestion is for any remaining news organiztions out there to start reporting on real news. Forget the sex and gore and report the news! And not just a two paragraph story about a bank robbery with information “pending”. Pending so much you never get the story.

Are any reporters actually leaving their desks or are they only reporting what they are told by police and government spokespeople, what they might hear on a police scanner, and what WSVN has reported????

I never, ever click on any advertisement on the Sun-Sentinel’s web page. Not a one. Not ever. But if there was a real honest to God news site, I would click on the ads all day long. Hell, I would pay .50 cents to have access to a newspaper for one day. I buy apps for my iphone and Android tablet all the time for .99 cents, if they had a real and I mean real news website, I would pay for it! Yes, I would.

But this sex, sin and gore the Florida Sun-Sentinel is tossing about isn’t worth reading at all, and worse yet, you can’t line your parakeet’s cage with it either!

My opinion. Your mileage may vary.

I Don’t Do Sick Well…

January 24th, 2012 by SBG | 4 Comments | Filed in Humor

Although I suspect that no one does it really well. I mean, no man anyway, as we all know women are tougher when it comes to colds and the flu. What will hardly slow them down will put a big strong man down for a month like a quivering puppy.

I am home once more from work fighting this flu induced bronchitis. Now I know why my wife is over her germ attack and I continue to suffer, although not quite like a quivering puppy. More like a downtrodden hound dog.

Now there is proof!!!  Research at the Queens Mary University of London discovered that females have twice the number of bad germ fighting white blood cells than males, and they were more effective at fighting off evil bad quivering puppy dog germs! Poor men, we have to suffer and barely survived, and it is not our fault!  Article below:

 

Scientists at Queen Mary University of London infected mice and rats with a variety of infections to study their immune systems. They looked at white blood cells in the lungs and stomach, which defend the body against infection. Dr Ramona Scotland, who led the research, said: “We found that the females had around twice as many white blood cells than males which was a huge surprise.”

“When we started to look at how these white blood cells behaved we found that not only were there more cells, but that the cells were more responsive to bacteria and other invaders – and that they worked more effectively.

“Crucially, they didn’t release as many of the chemicals that stimulate the immune system response. It’s the release of these mediators that makes you feel lousy when you’re fighting off an infection.”

The research, which was reported in the medical journal, Blood, found that for every infection tested, the female mice and rats were less sick than the male.  Dr Scotland concluded: “I believe that the same will be true for people because this is a very ancient part of the mammal’s immune response.”

 

You see!? We were not faking it ladies. Men do get sicker than women. We do suffer more. And it is not our fault. (Although perhaps it could possibly be your fault? We are still working on that….)

Boy, I bet there are a whole lot of women out there that now feel so bad about catching the Romanian Weasel Plague and not even slowing down, while making fun at their men who caught a slight cold and nearly died! Well ladies, it is now time for you to apologize to us. As soon as I am finished hacking up my left lung, you can hug me. Quick…before I die.

Why Women Can’t Sleep

January 15th, 2012 by SBG | 4 Comments | Filed in Humor

Science has finally figured out why women can’t sleep. This is what is going on inside their brains all the time.

Every  one of those little blue balls is a thought  about something that  needs to be done, a  decision or a problem that needs to be solved, not to mention all the things she wants her husband to do.

A man has only 2 balls and they consume  all his  thoughts.


This one was sent to me from my Bro.
