It became more of a cultural thing when Obama did it at the Washington Correspondents Dinner several years ago. I believe it originated with comedians who either ridiculed another comedian or heckler so bad that nothing more cold be said. Don Rickles did it in some of his shows way before Obama. Some people believe it started with the punk rock scene when the band was finished they would throw the mic down. I see this more as just part of being punk rock. Of course with it being punk rock, it could be their way of saying "f**k you" to the audience. |

I am glad I am not the only one who notices Weather Women seem to have bigger tits than the average female TV newscaster.
Mention that around any women and I get evil stares to whacks to the face/etc. |

That's the "brown people doing mayhem" part of the program . . . occasionally for variety they'll offer up some meth'd out white guys doing mayhem just to prove that they're not pandering exclusively to racism . . . which is true, they pander to every unworthy sentiment.
I live in a part of the country that's very white, so we have a shortage of swarthy crims, our local news tends more to pale scabby guys with neck tattoos, but yeah, here in the land of the abundantly armed local news can usually find some citizen who got in the way of some high speed lead. We also have a local cottage industry in serial killers: the Green River Killer and the most celebrated of them all Ted Bundy. So we do OK in the skells department. If not, there's always the standby "the tragedy of teen prostitution" . . . though that's a little less flagrant than it was in years gone by. There was a thing called "sweeps week", when the ratings agencies would audit local stations' viewership -- hard and expensive to do in the pre-internet television era. During this week, local news would reliably run their most lurid stories. |

Can this be true?
Native American boy asks his papa "Where do we get our our names from, Papa?" Papa replies "From our mothers, son. When your sister was born, your mom opened the teepee and the first thing she saw was two doves in the sky, so she named her Two Doves. And when your brother was born, the first thing she saw was a great big grizzly bear rearing up in the forest, so she called him Standing Bear. But what makes you ask the question, Shitting Dog?" |

Actually, most of the local shootings - being brown on brown or black on black - are rarely mentioned.
If a white is involved, it usually gets some attention. National news, they seem to mentioned the weekend death toll in Chicago once in awhile. Use to be in New York in decades past. And sometimes we get a Black lives matter killing - if it is by a cop. Attacks on Americans overseas get mentioned every once in awhile. Attacks on European tourists outside the US rarely get air time. Suicides, unless they are a celebrity or a teenager, don't get press attention. The murders in Mexico almost never get in our press. |

I don't think they really want to discuss the role America's drug war has on those murders.
