Useless News
CNN Headline news did a story yesterday on whether the Easter candy Peeps could be destroyed. During the segment they showed the candy being mashed by a metal weight. Then they showed the candy being run over by an extra large truck. This is when you know that news is in a sorry state. With all the stories that need to be reported they chose to take up the issue of whether peeps could be destroyed.

1. And people actually eat these things?
I tried one once. It was gross. Never again. It's probably still in my bowels. (Ewwwwwwwww!)

2. I think you are being overly generous to brain dead CNN. I consider
all the news they report to be useless.

4. I hope CNN gave credit to these folks
http://www.peepresearch.org/

As far as I know this is the original internet peep cult site. And it remains one of the best.

May the bunny be with you!

And now back to the 24/7 TS/Rapture News.

5. Is most of the news just paid advertising.
Remember all the walmart news stories about them lowering prices.
