LOL! My cable cut off when Candy started speaking!

WTF? I just posted wondering if she ever speaks and she said about three words and my cable system cut to a blue screen that said it was performing a required weekly test.

Then the channel was changed to PBS and Barney was on.

Um.

1. LOL

You're lucky. Barney is more intelligent than the schmucks on CNN.

2. No shit.

Hell, I just turned it off. If it's that hard to get any information from TV, forget it.

6. I think I've trained it well, because I NEVER turn to these news channels.

So I did and my smart cable system said "WTF? Save her now! Turn it, anything! Barney, for crissakes!"

5. It's the little Chinese man that comes with your tv (or inside it)

He's not such a bad guy course he will have a bad habit of changing the channel to whatever station "Family Matters" is on right in the middle of whatever show you're currently watching.

You may prevent this by keeping jelly beans within the tv's enclosure.

7. My CNN went out to, at first I thought it was because we have electricians

working at our house today, then noticed there was still sound but not picture. My friends said the same thing was happening to her, though. WEIRD.

9. Does this Candy person short out cable systems

or is it just CNN in general?

Normally the only way I see these people is in the montages on The Daily Show where Jon Stewart makes fun of them, so I tend to giggle when I see them. I'm sure that's not the response they want.
