I always thought Fox News did a pretty good job mocking itself. That "Fair and Balanced" line is a scream.

Can we assume the "note on file" is written in Purell, on a Handi-Wipe?

@BalknChain: no! sadly i graduated and moved up to NYC. but my picture remains on many websites of Asian tourists around the world who probably caption the pictures with news about their tourguide's desire to pursue the American dream of being a fluffer...

@EleanorRigby: hahaha! Are you still in/near Philly? I will now cherish the image and thought of confused mid-western Liberty Bell gawkers thinking how nice it was that their tour guide was going to grow up one day and be a fluffer. Sounds so professional-like.

@BalknChain: when i used to give walking tours of Philadelphia (seriously...don't laugh) and annoying tourists asked me what i wanted to do when i finished college, I would say I wanted to be a fluffer. it's shocking the number of people who simply smiled, nodded, and said it's nice to have dreams.

What's the problem? Now I know I can get Fox News on my AT&T-enabled wireless phone. Everybody's happy.

Does "we talked with our friends at FOX" translate into "we sent over our best fluffer?"

I'd love to see that file...which I'm sure is located immediately in front of the "How to get into these situations in the future" file.
