Late Night Musings - 15

For those of you who are looking for a thought-provoking word of thought....or... uh... provoking...

Well, you came to the wrong place.


I went to CNN.com tonight, as I often do when there is something important to be done, such as work, or homework, or workhome...... and on the front page, plastered across my is a picture of a mosquito - with the following words in bold above it.

SCIENTISTS CREATE LASER GUN TO KILL MOSQUITOES.
Scientists in the U.S. are developing a laser gun that could kill millions of mosquitoes in minutes. The laser, which has been dubbed a "weapon of mosquito destruction" fires at mosquitoes once it detects the audio frequency created by the beating of its wings. The laser beam then destroys the mosquito, burning it on the spot.



Now, this is on the front page of CNN.com.

CNN.

DotCom.


Really? THIS is headline news? Now, I understand that many are plagued by our our flying brethren, and they haven't really done much to benefit us as humans, other than eating other pesky... things... But really?

Really? Is this what it has come down to? There are children being murdered in foreign countries... people are starving to death... there are millions of people dying each day in a world that COULD be saved by one of the greatest countries in the world... and this is what we find appropriate to put on our front page?





I'm going to change it. Now THIS would make for front page news.

MOSQUITOES CREATE LASER GUN TO KILL SCIENTISTS
Mosquitoes in the U.S. are developing a laser gun that could kill millions of scientists in minutes. The laser, which has been dubbed a "weapon of scientific destruction" fires at scientists once it detects the audio frequency created by the beating of its test tubes. The laser beam then destroys the scientist, burning it on the spot.



Now THAT is a crisis worth a front page view.


I'm just sayin'
