More Media Morons


This DWEEB is a meteorologist for WHO TV/13.

He mostly works weekend nights, Saturday 6 & 10 and Sunday 5 & 10.

Weather is usually allotted a segment halfway through the half hour newscast, approximately fifteen after the hour.

During his weather segment last night, which according to the clock they show was 5:16 p.m., he tried to interject some personality by mentioning the World Food Festival ending at 5 p.m. tonight and that it would be a nice night to go there and sample the food.

HUH?

First, I've addressed this before, p.m. and tonight are redundent.

Second, did you not just hear what you said? It ended at 5 p.m.!

I blame too much hairspray!

WHO TV/13 was a sponsor of the World Food Festival and I found this information on their web-site....
