Local News: Poison in your water; we'll tell you where, and how to combat it...ON THURSDAY!!

[NFS4]

GAWD I hate the news :| They tell you this crap, then bait you and make you wait:| Why not just say anything until the day before, but don't tell people stuff like this a week in advance:| They've been running the ads since Friday.

It'd be all the same as if they said there's a stalker in the city, wait til Friday and we'll give you details:disgust:

Why tell you now when they have an entire hour to waste to drag out the story.

Make sure to drink plenty of water until then.

They just do that for ratings. If there was an emergency, all the new stations would know.

Did they throw in the nice little line of "See how you and your family could be at risk!"?

Heh, reminds me of that Simpsons where Ken Brockman comes on the TV:

"A local candy has been shown to be poisonous. We won't tell you which one it is until 6."


I think that's the gist of it... not 100% sure of the exact wording though
