"I just got off the phone with sources..."

[Hammer Pants]

When our area's village idiot sports talk show radio host says he just got off the phone with sources, you can usually read our newspaper from a day or a week ago for a word-for-word account of his "report." For the life of me, I don't know why we don't go after the forker with the lawyers. When he's not butchering the English language ("pitcher" instead of "picture"), he's ripping off our stuff. fork you, radio heads!

I don't live in my paper's city, but I'm told one of the city's biggest radio stations still basically reads our A1 and our Metro, Region and Sports fronts every morning on the air. If it's still like it was when I lived there, it's the most painfully hilarious plagiarism in history.
