I watch JEOPARDY every night and here in Los Angeles it's on Channel 7, the ABC affiliate. Right before the show they go to weather guy Dallas Raines for a preview of the weather. And I just want to punch this fucking guy in the face. He has a shit-eating grin and takes great delight in delivering bad news. For Mother's Day: (big smile) "Hey it's gonna rain on Mom. Details at 11."
FUCK YOU!
Hasn't local news moved on from these happy-talk assholes? When I was going to Minneapolis last month I checked in with one of their local weather guys and was very impressed. This was a real meteorologist, who clearly understood weather patterns and was able to articulate them in a clear concise way. Compare that to the yokel on Channel 7.
Now granted we don't get much weather here in LA and a number of stations have gotten by with hot young ingenues who don't know there's another meaning for snow besides cocaine, but come on. A shred of credibility maybe? A tiny thread?
Here's what I'm talking about. Tell me you wouldn't hold him while I punched him.
