When Commercial Media Pisses You Off

I tipped to this story a couple days back when I was reading a local message board, Toledo Talk.  It seems that Ohio Kimono, a local contributor and entrepreneur (see her commercial sites at Ohio Kimono and Ohio Kimono (Kimono Lady) on Facebook), was away from her home during the day (she was doing her best to earn a living) when three choir boys noted that the lock on her back door needed testing for the purposes of quality assurance.  One young man did the testing, using a tool approved for such.

The lock passed.  The test was recorded for prosterity on double secret home video, shown below, and you can read the thread on Toledo Talk here, $250 Reward - Do you know these criminals? .

Where's the Dirt?

I'm kind of wondering just who is dirtier - politicians or commercial media.  I'm thinking it depends on the day and the players.

Consider that Representative Monique D. Davis (D) 27th District recently made an inflammatory comment on AM radio that is being taken as far out of context as liability lawsuits will allow, and maybe a little further if the alleged perpetrator in question is one of the numerous non-profit organizations catering to a protected category of people.

But before I get started I'm going to set the stage, and I'd like you, the reader, to indulge me a minute and read this next paragraph carefully.

Imagine you're in Chicago.  The notorious Big Windy.  Imagine you have a nice, big feather pillow.  Go to the very top of the Willis Tower (AKA Sears Tower) first thing in the morning on a day with a nice breeze blowing.  Stand on the roof, lean over the railing and rip the pillow open.  Shake all the feathers out of the pillow and watch the wind distribute those feathers all over Chicago.

That's how a rumor starts.

Now what I'd like you to do is go collect up the feathers, every last one, and put them back into the pillow.

That's what it takes to quash a rumor.

Keep reading for an informative, well-written rant about police, commercial media and several sterling examples of just what is wrong with commercial media and government today.
