    This is not a brand, it's little dusty sign that's fallen to the floor and's been kicked to a corner. RED BULL... now that's a brand.

    RED BULL

    RED BULL ON GAWKER

    RED BULL

    Red... heats the blood...

    Bull... SEX. SEX RED BULL SEX GAWKER

    This has been a public service announcement from your local ad council. (What *is* a local ad council?)

    Urgh, Moutain Dew is just nasty.

    Couldn't the ad campaign be something like, "Liquid iridescent antifreeze that works like cocaine, but without the whoring and nosebleeds, maybe...we're actually not sure what this nuclear waste of a lighter-fluid tasting product is made of, so drink responsibly, or never." #advertising

    This is the greatest single sentence fragment about modern advertisting strategy.

    This why using Twitter as a news source blows! It's just a bunch of yahoos yapping about what they "saw" or "heard" when in fact, what they know is usually wrong. And way to be on top of things Marc: "All six aboard helicopter have been rescued."
    Too bad it looks now like all six have died.
    This is why news outlets wait to report things. You get the facts first, then you report them. Just spewing a bunch of rumors, (oh sorry, I mean "reports") does nobody any good at all.

    (And to their credit, early tweets give folks a heads-up that something has happened . . . so go to a reputable news source to find out what.)

    @Foster Kamer: Right now no local or national channels have any coverage, they have all returned to regular infomercial programming. Oh check that, Foxnews is the only current coverage. I have RCN (bc TWC sucks) so I don't get NY1 so can't confirm their coverage.

    @maevemealone: Gods forbid they halt coverage on something that will shape our nation's well-being for decades to come, that'll be voted on in weeks and will affect literally every single one of us. Blurry videos of oil slicks on water and sensationalistic intrusions of grieving witnesses is much more germane. Real journalists: how dare they!
    On the bright side, I'm sure there's a NASCAR race on, so if the grown-ups talking about substantive matters is totes boring, they've got something for you.

    @Trai_Dep: Thank you. I was about to post the same thing. Many, many, many, many more people die every day in car accidents. I'm glad CNN was still talking about healthcare. And as far as a news fail, I bet maevemealone's friend is irresponsibly just tweeting whatever rumor he hears.

    @nozer: @Trai_Dep: Hey smugholes, how about since it's a local story to me, that the sirens go screaming past my windows, I'd like to get some idea about what is happening in less than 3 hrs? Since the local stations felt it necessary to not interrupt Strawberry Shortcake and Care Bears reruns, I thought it would be helpful if I could get some info from someplace OTHER than twitter, which I don't follow. I can get health care debate rehashes and Dateline reruns for eternity.
