WTF? (**NSFW**)

Recommended Posts

Was anyone else just watching Fox News? A car chase ended in Arizona with the suspect getting out of the car and running around looking dazed and confused before pulling out a gun and shooting himself in the head. Fox News said they were on a five-second tape delay, but that didn't work out too well...

I wonder if they were putting the raw feed out and looking at the delay on set. Great annoyed face there at the end.

I got to watch the profuse apologizing afterwards. You know in between gold, diabetes, medical supply, and mesothelioma lawsuit ads.

It seemed like the anchor had the feed a few seconds before we did. He was visibly upset before it was obvious the guy was about to shoot himself.

Also, bad news for the paranoid among us. Standard countermeasures have been proven ineffective, stand by for new TTPs.

I watched it live as well. They were saying the News Helicopter was near the limit of their ability to send a signal and it kept cutting out. Everytime it did they went to a replay from a few seconds before, then they would cut right back to the live shot when the signal came back. They did that a few times and I bet that caused the mistake. I say so what..so douche nozzle offed himself. The dolt had a long criminal record, had just car-jacked someone at gunpoint, tried to shoot some cops on the side of the road during the chase, and took pot shots at the helicopter. AMF!

The problem is that TVs everywhere (waiting rooms, airports, etc) tend to be tuned to the news since it safe for work/children. And dudes splattering their brains all over the side of the highway is a definitely not PG. That said, at least dude spared taxpayers spared the expense of a trial.

There were no brains spattering...it was a grainy feed from a helicopter...he put something to his head and fell forward.

He appeared to be pretty disoriented. Probably some mental health issues. Too bad it had to go that far.

I wouldn't be surprised. We had a mentally ill guy end up on top of a construction crane several years ago in Atlanta. The geniuses in the police department decided the proper way to handle this was to shine spotlights at him and surround the scene with several cars with lights and sirens going while the cloud of news helicopters hovered nearby so they could get a better view. That ended about as well as you would expect. I wonder how much we affect these events by covering them on the news.

So what is the lawsuit count now I wonder for lowlifes who were "emotionally traumatized" by seeing this on the news?

I thought this signaled her expected foray into the world of porn, but apparently not (yet)...

Congressional Staffer Arrested for Choking Lindsay Lohan

Sources said Lohan and LaBella began tussling on a bed before the starlet locked herself in a bathroom. She eventually came out and LaBella gave chase again, and he allegedly began choking the addled actress in the hallway of the 15th floor room before Lohan called cops and pulled a fire alarm...

Turns out that LaBella works for Representative John Shimkus, an Illinois Republican!

Where's Charlie Sheen, this sounds like his kind of party! :rock:

Cheers! M2
