Today, "CBS This Morning" (on CBS, in the morning) will be looking at
whether kids are scared of The Y2K Bug.  Golly, I wonder whether TV news
will tell us to be scared or not?

Just once I'd like to see them round up several senior citizens and
truck drivers and ask them all, "Are you afraid of being eaten by giant
invisible bees?" and they'd all yell "OF COURSE NOT, THAT'S STUPID!!!"

But if they aired that, all TV news would end forever.

My favorite news item from this weekend was the Pope's visit to Mexico,
because, for some reason, in Mexico the thronging minions welcome the Pope
by shining hundreds of mirrors into the windows of the airplane just
before the permanently blinded pilots attempt to land.  The Pope ought
to fire his publicity manager and hire someone who doesn't tell the crowd
to do stupid stuff like that.  What's next, telling devot Catholics to
load mortars with frozen turkeys and fire them into the plane's engines?

Also, as he got off the plane, he passed by this enormous sign which
said "BIENVENIDO" in six-foot-high Times Roman letters.

One of them was upside down.  One of the ones there were TWO of.

I find this much stupider than if BOTH N's had been upside down, because
even if you don't know where the serifs on the N go, you gotta realize
that ONE of them is wrong if they come out different!

It's as if they did something subtle like flipping over the "O", which
I still would have noticed.  (Or sideways, like the "RITZ CAMERA ONE HOUR
PHOTO" sign at the mall where all the letters are italicized to the right
except the O's which are italicized downwards.)

                                                -- K.

                                                Also it took them a month and
                                                a half to lose the last
                                                PhotoCD I gave them.  So I
                                                demand they change their slogan
                                                to "in about an hour".
