Title: George Orwell surrenders.
Post by: MFAWG on May 09, 2010, 07:58:05 AM
This has gotten some attention nationally, but it's all the rage up here:

Here is the George Orwell part:

Quote
The video was shot by a freelance videographer at around 2 a.m. on April 17.

That's actually NOT true, The guy who shot the video was actually employed by another local TV station, which refused to air the video, at which point the guy did the right thing and QUIT, taking the footage to a competing local station.

Anybody want to guess what the network affiliation of the station he quit is?
