Local TV news is a joke

    I've never received an e-mail -- spam or no -- threatening my life, but should I ever, I certainly won't bother contacting my local news station. If I considered it a real threat, I'd be calling the cops.

    WHY do people call us with stuff like this? If I honestly felt like my life was in danger, do I really think Andy Anchorman is going to take the bullet for me?

    Yeah, shottie, I'm afraid this one probably falls under the category of hookers in Vegas drugging you and then you waking up the next morning in a tub full of ice finding that your kidneys have been removed.

    BUT not everybody is that tuned in to all the scams and spam on the 'Net, and if she wasn't and she was frightened, well, there you go.

    But I agree: Why call the local TV station instead of the cops if you're worried.

    I work in the TV business. Don't get me started. I'll say this about the weather stuff, though: it's all consultants and management misreading what these idiots tell them. And the other parti is penis envy, plain and simple.

    I'll respond to this thread as soon as my sweetie, Princess Igrabyermoolah from Nigeria, gets out of the shower. She says all she needs is my bank account number, and she will deposit my $44 million, and everything will be cool. :eek:
