A Boner for the Weather

Well, it’s already started. 24-hour hurricane coverage on local Miami TV. At this time, Ernesto is still a tropical storm for crisesakes somewhere over Cuba. They can’t even wait until it turns into a full-fledged hurricane before they trot out their latest technological gizmos to show us how it looks in 3D. Television as we once knew it has been preempted for the latest news on some guy buying plywood in Home Depot. WPLG, the local ABC affiliate, cut Charlie Gibson Asus F7Z купить off at the knees. We never got to see the national Asus A6 A6Ja купить news Acer Aspire AS7530G купить because it was much more important to see how people were behaving in Key West (they were drinking). They also set up one Acer Aspire AS5315 купить of those new fangled satellite TV dishes that broadcasted a live image of a local gas station on South
Beach. Last year Wilma created a traffic jam there so the station wanted to be the first to cover that story just in case it should happen again. They Asus U6V купить showed a big motorcycle cop standing guard, making sure Asus A7 A7C купить you got your gas and kept on going. Wanna make a bet a traffic jam soon followed? In many ways, local TV coverage ascerbates the “crisis” by creating mass hysteria. Some call this the “Mean Season.” To us, it’s the “Slice and Dicey Season.” Why? When local TV starts covering hurricanes ad infinitum, after a while, you just want to walk into the kitchen, pull out a knife and end it all. Whether you do it or not is the “dicey” part: it depends if local WSVN-Fox’s Elita Loresca is giving the update at that time. She’s worth hanging around for.*

*Please note Asus X51 X51L купить that we apologize in advance if we offended any women or men who took offense at our “objectifying” women. If we did– and we are not so sure we did– this is the first time and we feel very ashamed but sometimes a stronger primeval urge still calls to us across the broad landscape of political correctness and, despite our best efforts, we just can’t say “no” to a good, albeit shallow, joke. As a group of men, выпускные свадебные платья we need to be spanked. If there were any women working here, we would Asus R2 R2H купить at least have offered up a worthy weatherman, Acer TravelMate 2492NWLC купить but there aren’t, so there. It is also with great regret that we ran the top photo of the weatherman with a boner for the weather. Please forgive us.
