My weird meditative nature is an anomaly, but that's the only way I'd ever want to watch TV news.

If nothing was really happening wouldn't they just be making stuff up? It's what they do in my small town now...

Once, on a really hot day, they filmed how long it took to cook an egg on the sidewalk.

"Okay, nobody do anything... Nobody do anything... Nobody do anything... Dammit, Britney!"

The music is very 28 Days.

At least there is no swearing.

@belltolls: I think it might be Brian Eno?

Gawker's Paradox: A day without news would be an extremely newsworthy subject.

Kind of reminds me of the local news from pissant municipality in which I grew up.

Schrödinger's News: The news has occured, not occured, both occured and not occured, and fucking nothing happened at all up until I check Gawker.

What the fuck are they doing?!?!

Happiness. I think I'll go out and buy a puppy.

@Dickdogfood: @valarmorghulis: Something inscrutably undefinable about this site inspires rabid devotion.

I wouldn't know what to do with myself.

@Obviously Not Omniscient: Snark loves company.

AVOID EYE CONTACT.

Yay. I love it. Also, BBC News > everything we got.

...like a day without booze.

I hate BBC News. Also, that is the clearest flash video i've ever seen. Why can't youtube and everything else look like that?

@Buzz Killington: Because you like them.

The news would be that there was no news. Endless hours of live television would be devoted to it. Larry King would dementedly opine about it. Bill O'Reilly would rant about, Elisabeth Hasselbeck would blame the Democrats.

There is ALWAYS news, even if we have to torque no news!

@Trixie from Toronto: "news" and "drama"
while materially tied together, are not the same thing.

@valarmorghulis: Was LolCait alive or dead before you checked?

That was cool & eerie at the same time. I love the little bits where one anchor looks knowingly (and/or lovingly) at the co-anchor. Real anchors look so stupid when one of them is telling a story and the other one nods, as though it's the most important bit of news he or she has EVER heard. TV news anchors and reporters are rodeo clowns.

@valarmorghulis: Believe me, I know. I've been doing it for 23 years.

This would never happen as long as squirrels can still water ski.

@Bell County: Can't, I refuse to influance...wait...shit.

@Trixie from Toronto: Yeah, unfortunatly drama is infinatly more marketable.

@Conbon: You didn't hear? Uh Oh...

@Buzz Killington: Probably because it is from an actual BBC show itself- Time Trumpet- from a few years ago. Another good bit- the Terrorism Awards. Because terrorists should take pride in their work as well.

@ChrisNH: Yes the stupid co-anchor Nod of Support is as awkward as the first "Hallelujah" at a sparsely attended revival church breakfast. I suppose Chuck Scarborough wasn't making that face, for once, which is why Sue wondered what the fuck he was doing.

"The United States has not invaded any countries"

&%*#ing Brits.

"The United States has not invaded any countries"

&%*#ing Brits.

I caught that too. I think it's awesome.

Come on, guys, this is where you pull out the "feature" items. This Mom-and-Pop restaurant is amazing! Where can you find the cheapest laptops (to put next to your sheaf of blank papers)? Where can I get my hair glued-into-windswept-place like yours, anchor lady #3?

It's never really news, but even on newsful days they manage to run it...

Strange, because they did the same thing (well, almost) more than a year ago. Watch:

Is this how BBC celebrates its b'day or something?

@Lazy Susan: Who's a good boy/girl? yyyyYes! you are!@SarahHeartburn: say it ain't so - can't be true.
