I saw this still of a news item today which seemed to be doing the rounds on the internet....

I have no idea what killing it is in connection with or when it was, but sometimes I wonder who the hell employs people to do some of these well paid jobs.....

Is it possible to be killed to death?

Isn't death bad enough without being killed that little bit extra?

Sometimes the spelling and grammar of some news items/captions is so bad I want to scream at the screen.....

Sometimes I think that they are that desperate to try and get the news out to the masses so quickly that they don't even check what they have written........

You would think that somebody connected to the channel would identify the problem and correct it.....

Just the other day I was listening to a radio show, the DJ spoke for a minute or so and then stated what song he was going to play next and the name of the band. Then it went silent the song started, but the song was at the wrong speed and sounded like the Chipmunks cartoon. The song played like this all the way to the end and when the song had finished the DJ came back on, introduced the next song and didn't even mention the mistake with the previous song. You would think that a radio station would notice if a track was being played at the wrong speed...........after all, you can only listen to music on the radio.......some things drive me nut............

It reminds me of an old comedy sketch, but I can't remember who did it now. It was a spoof news programme or something like that.....It goes something like.....

"Today there was a four car pile up on the motorway, five people were killed, four seriously."

I suppose that's the world we live in today, everything goes so fast that people haven't got time to see what's going on around them.........

Isn't that the definition of homocide?

Well... it's worse than being killed to migraine or killed to sprained-knee.

Now that is something I am not sure of nixie_nox.....................I looked up homocide or homicide, I didn't realise that there are two different ways of spelling it................something else I have learned today.........but as for the term/word homicide, it is not really a word that we use here in the UK, we just tend to use the word murder over here.....

Well, yeah. I would say it occurs in 100% of non-natural deaths.

Wondering if this was just a Hot Shots film fan, though - one of my favorite lines is from Part Deux, where Sadaam Hussein says "Now I will kill you until you die from it, you Yankee-Doodle dork!!"

If not, it's just funny. I love it when news captions go wrong.

As redundant as being "mushed to pudding," why do people still watch television? Especially news..
