I am not making my splendiferous return to the world of blog. I just want to write a little rant, after hearing weirdness on one of our commercial tv news bulletin. I call it the car crash news, and there was ripper tonight whereby many cars were damaged and the driver of an unmarked police car accidently gave the miscreant a bump with the police car, with him receiving multiple bone fractures, and he is under police guard in hospital.
The incident was also covered by the 7pm ABC TV News, somewhat less sensationally than the Channel 7 news.
Then came the pre ad promotion for a following story by Channel 7 newsreader, Peter Mitchell.
How to reduce your risk of dying by 40%!
The 40% odds for perpetual life is quite good. The detail was made clear in the story. I calmed down, until this...
Reduce your mortality by 25%.
In spite of my poor lifestyle choices, isn't that something for me to grasp at too?
PS For those who follow Elephant Child's blog, I am sure we are all wishing her well as she recovers from serious surgery. I think she is the most caring person I've come across on the internet, and that is quite a statement. Be well, EC.
