wtf, CNN.com

Man struck by lightning, says 'it hurt'

PROFOUND

'it hurt'

So close to 'butthurt,' so far from the reality.

One of my high school classmates (a cousin of FB, actually) was hit by lightning about... 16? years ago; the little toe on each foot was melted off but his actual shoes survived unscathed. We told him he should mail them (the shoes, sicko) to Nike and angle for free footwear.

My best friend from high school was killed by a lightning strike 12 years ago this week. He was wearing sunglasses at the time, and the frame melted right at the bridge. Amazing.

(Not trying to be a buzzkill with this. He would have thought it was hilarious, actually, and it kind of was.)

Note the headline on this story. It is listed on the front page as:

Gash appears on jet at 29,000 feet

(maybe this is more accurately "wtf, my 13-year-old maturity level")

Swinger sex case 'about pure evil,' prosecutor says

Okay, so it's going to be, like, an obscenity case with some consenting adults havin' weird sex and an overzealous prosecutor, right?

An East Texas man took part in "pure evil" by helping to run swinger parties that forced children as young as 5 to have sex...

Oh wait, it's about CHILD RAPISTS. You know those swingers, always RAPING CHILDREN.

hey guys @ cnn.com video, showing 5 consecutive still photos /= a "time lapse"

Japan: Bunch of grapes sold for $910

Oh wait, it's about CHILD RAPISTS. You know those swingers, always RAPING CHILDREN.

that's pretty much pure evil. sorry, what is your point?

The point is that the headline should have focused less on the "swingers" part and more on the "raping children" part.

It was that the headline (and to a lesser extent, the story) pretty much conflates people who have non-standard sex lives with pedophiles.

I mean, a case where a group of adults are forcing children to have sex is not a 'Swinger sex case'.

Thursday is cat news day on CNN.com:

Chimp takes Segway for ride, then bails

huh

i thought that said "and balls" for a second.

Does a chimp ever take anything for a ride and then NOT "bail"?

that space monkey didn't "bail"

so I'm guessing ppl didn't make it all the way to the end of the clip...?
