Who Cares Who Reads the News From the Frigging Autocue?

OK, I'll admit it - I've had a shocking week. All four of us here at home are sick and my patience is running thinner than one of Nicole Richie's arms.

I've just seen a commercial for Channel Nine News where they're airing some sound bites of candid chats with "people in the street" (yeah right...). These people are yabbering on about how much they connect with "Bruce and Heather" who are our local Queensland news readers.

Seriously, who gives a fuck who reads a totally pre written script from an Autocue machine???

They are told what to wear and are dressed by professionals, their makeup is done by another pro, a light tells them which way to look and if anything unexpected happens the producer or director tells them what to do via their headsets!


I'm positive that they could train monkeys to do the job IF they could find a pair bland enough.


Gotta love Bronchitis...
