ReplyDeleteJim,
ReplyDeleteYou headline is insensitive and condescending. You don't know anything about her, or anything about what she went through.

ReplyDeleteBWAHAHAHA.
ReplyDeleteGet over yourselves.
10:32 My sentiments exactly! The world has become overly sensitive and pussified to no end.
ReplyDelete9:13 I know that her injuries were very serious.
ReplyDeleteMy headline was meant to fit the story's odd and I would think unecessary disclosure about her hip surgery. Why did viewers need that information?
It's as though that detail was included to make the lip-and-hip rhyme work.

ReplyDeleteJim, 9:13 here. She was world-wide news, and her hip surgery was made public to explain why she was going back in the hospital...which a lot of her viewers were worried about. She wasn't thrilled about disclosing it, but her life became an open book. I think you were a little guilty of a print guy doing some tv stereotyping. They win Peabody Awards at that station, and she's as first class an act as you'd ever hope to meet. Your headline seemed a trite way to handle a serious story about a serious woman. That fact that they used some clever prose seems pretty inconsequential.
