Cosby: "They're waiting for their breasts to come."

"Did they come today?"
"No they didn't, they didn't come today."

When you broadcast 24x7, eventually, all kinds of things become breaking news.

 
Texa$ [TotalFark] 2005-10-26 11:51:00 AM  
...and this went green. HA!

 
WSU-Del 2005-10-26 11:51:10 AM  
Hahahahahaha

At least it doesn't involve a missing pretty white girl.

 
naroni 2005-10-26 11:51:46 AM  
great headline

 
the_wimp 2005-10-26 11:51:48 AM  
oh noes!

 
saminman 2005-10-26 11:51:51 AM  
We need some missing white girls!

 
usmarinecpl [TotalFark] 2005-10-26 11:52:06 AM  
Thank god nothing is happening. Back to my life...

 
Quackedtheduck 2005-10-26 11:52:15 AM  
Glad they picked this one to greenlight instead of the bizarre one talking about "haters"

 
Action Replay Nick [recently expired TotalFark] 2005-10-26 11:52:16 AM  
Funniest media-spite greenlight I've seen in recent memory.

 
richbob 2005-10-26 11:52:23 AM  
Valerie Plame is a pretty white girl. She's not missing, but it's close.

Has anyone gotten Ric Romero's perspective on this late breaking story?

 
therlin 2005-10-26 11:52:59 AM  
I got an IM from a coworker to inform me of these very same "news".

 
tinrobot 2005-10-26 11:53:05 AM  
Something else is happening.

Report that.

 
FarkingReading 2005-10-26 11:53:29 AM  
Drudge Report exlcusive --

Prosecutors expect something to happen some day.

Developing....

Liberal media = pwn3d?!

 
Machtyn 2005-10-26 11:53:34 AM  
Well, FOXNews seems to think they have something of worth about a previous (still) missing white girl, but they aren't saying until tonight on Greta Van Sustren's show.

 
nekom [TotalFark] 2005-10-26 11:53:39 AM  
BREAKING: I just took some pictures in to wal-mart! Developing...

 
Skip Whiffle 2005-10-26 11:53:48 AM  


I don't get it.

 
cakestick 2005-10-26 11:53:51 AM  
(Watch Washington wait for possible indictments -- 2:59)

Maybe it's not so excellent that CNN released their video for free.

 
ThereAreFourLights 2005-10-26 11:54:08 AM  
June the 4th, 1973, was much like any other summer's day in Peterborough, and Ralph Mellish, a file clerk at an insurance company, was on his way to work as usual when --- Nothing happened!

Scarcely able to believe his eyes, Ralph Mellish looked down. But one glance confirmed his suspicions. Behind a bush, on the side of the road, there was *no* severed arm. *No* dismembered trunk of a man in his late fifties. No head in a bag. Nothing. Not a sausage.

For Ralph Mellish, this was *not* to be the start of any trail of events which would not, in no time at all, involve him in neither a tangled knot of suspicion, nor any web of lies, which would, had he been not involved, surely have led him to no other place, than the central criminal court of the Old Bailey.

 
woodpecker from mars 2005-10-26 11:54:14 AM  
I just saw Valerie Plame's face on my toast.

 
TheKnownUniverse [TotalFark] 2005-10-26 11:54:16 AM  
That's funny, but I hope this getting a greenlight doesn't inspire copycat newsflashes when things continue not to happen in the future.

 
lilplatinum [TotalFark] 2005-10-26 11:54:29 AM  
Is someone praying for Omarion?

 
peeping_thom 2005-10-26 11:54:39 AM  
There is nothing to see here... move along...

Q: Is this the new political flamewar thread?

 
NYguy 2005-10-26 11:54:45 AM  
I submitted this with a much funnier line. My line was: CIA leak probe has Washington waiting, in a related story, Helliburton awarded contract to stop leak

Now who don't find that funny.

/STAN: I dont
/ME: STFU

 
OrangeApple 2005-10-26 11:54:47 AM  
Smells of something doubleplusungood.

 
ankmcfly 2005-10-26 11:55:06 AM  
If I was to have a leaking probe, it would be breaking news.

 
MasterThief [TotalFark] 2005-10-26 11:55:07 AM  
"They're in Washington ... the camera keeps on moving ... nothing's happening ... something about an indictment ...nothing's happening...nothing's happening... It's over. A lot of Kossites and DUniks look pissed."

/had to

 
Robobagpiper [TotalFark] 2005-10-26 11:55:09 AM  
Golf clap, submitter.

Surely there's breaking news somewhere on the planet, but that would involve having reporters on the ground somewhere other than in Washington, DC; and we all know that costs money and cuts into the entertainment division's profits.

 
please 2005-10-26 11:55:25 AM  
Wait wait wait, this is what conservatives have been wanting all along:

"Why doesn't the media ever report when there AREN'T indictments being handed down?! They only report the BAD news, when there ARE indictments!"

 
Evil Twin Skippy [TotalFark] 2005-10-26 11:55:37 AM  
Great headline.

I should have programmed my DVR to catch the Frogmarchathon before I left for the office though...

 
Nabb1 [TotalFark] 2005-10-26 11:56:12 AM  
I'm getting a new devolopment right now... Hold on.

Yes, I can confirm that I am going to lunch in about half an hour.

 
hodgedogofthesouth 2005-10-26 11:56:27 AM  
Thats ironic that you didnt use the ironic tag!

Chief Brody [TotalFark] 2005-10-26 11:57:01 AM  
Ha! Nice headline edit Admins.

 
Quackedtheduck 2005-10-26 11:57:14 AM  
The_gospel_of_Thomas Meh, I assume the mods are smart enough to just not greenlight any more of them and let the joke shine and then die gracefully. I wouldn't worry.

Marcus Aurelius: When you broadcast 24x7, eventually, all kinds of things become breaking news.


Is that a new Fox News Alert?

 
safetycap 2005-10-26 11:58:38 AM  


News is when stuff happens and the news media reports it to you, the news consumer.

 
RaoulDuke 2005-10-26 11:58:41 AM  
do missing, ugly white girls count?

i'm just trying to get clear on these things...

/wake me up when something happens

 
syberpud 2005-10-26 11:58:47 AM  
The media machine must be fed!
The spin must flow!!!

There are 3 types of people in Washington right now: Right wing partisans with ulsers the last week over this, Left wing partisans having wet dreams the last week over this, and the rest of us that hope the rule of law survives this whole ordeal and the trial (if any) is over quickly so we can get on with our lives.

 
MasonL87 2005-10-26 11:59:08 AM  
move along people, nothing to see here.

 
john_frink 2005-10-26 12:00:33 PM  
Not according to RawStory.com:

FITZGERALD ASKS JURY TO INDICT ROVE, LIBBY, SOURCES SAY.... DEVELOPING...

 
soupnyc807 2005-10-26 12:01:38 PM  
It's still more worthy of breaking news than anything local TV news would broadcast.

/Lives in Philly, supposedly the nation's 6th largest market
//One day, the lead story was the opening of the city's newest Chik-Fil-A
///Don't even get me started on Eagles season, Smarty Jones, etc.
