The problem with Discovery ID and True Crime shows.

Today I gave my wife, Diana, some advice I probably should have given a long time ago. I told her to stop accepting requests for interviews about her daughter's murder. You see networks like Discovery ID and their shows like Deadly Sins look for interesting twisted murders to show on TV. They say they do it to get the victim's story out there so they are not forgotten when actually they do it for ratings and money. Now at what cost are they doing this? Well, the cost of the other victims of the crime, the family and friends of the victim who have to relive the murder, the painful loss of the loved one who was murdered.
Now the value of a person and their loss cannot be measured in money, it cannot be measured at all. A life is priceless but these shows make money off their stories and the pain of loss. A crying parent talking about the loss of a child is priceless to them, it is gold because people want to watch this stuff. Advertisers pay good money to advertise in during the show's time slot. Now while the networks are counting their money the other victims are counting the tissues they go through while suffering through the pain of remembering yet again. No heart in show biz, ratings for tears. What does the victim's family get? "Thank you for sharing your daughter's story. If you need more tissue feel free and here have a cold bottle of water to replace all the liquid you lost crying. If you want we can send you a DVD copy of the show."
So next time you watch one of these true crime shows remember what the victim and their family went and are going through while the network is raking in the money.

Rename tropical storms.

You know I think they should stop naming tropical storms / hurricanes after people. I mean really, who wants their name associated with a natural disaster? They should start naming them by using curse words, like A-hole, B!tch, (ba$t^rd can be used every other year to give a manly feel) and so on. And if you need to reuse the names you can add the year to distinguish the storms, ex A-hole2021, A-hole2055. There would be only one problem, school children. Imagine getting an essay from a kid on what they did on their summer vacation.
"They summer start out nice. My dad thought it would be a good idea to go to the Beach, so we all piled into the car, We meaning my parents my brothers, sisters and smelly dog, and drove two days to Florida. Florida was fun until A-hole arrived and ruined everything. I hate hurricane a-hole. Mom said we could stay somewhere until A-hole passed and go back to the beach but dad said B!tch was on the way so we'd best go home. I hate B!tch."

Finally, why you should not believe everything on the Internet.

Ok, I know it has been awhile since I last posted and I did say I would talk about not believing or trusting everything on the Internet, but sometimes life throws curves and, well, things go by the way for a bit.

My original intent was to write some outlandish though scientific sounding articles to explain numerous natural phenomena to hopefully get them to spread around. After a time I would then come clean about my writing on these topics. I did write one whacked out blog about the Warm blob off the Pacific Northwest. The only thing factual is that there is in fact a warm blob of water off the PNW coast of North America that was and is effecting our weather, the rest however is BS. In order to get a hitch in the earth rotation like I wrote in the blog I would first have to rewrite the natural laws of physics, a job only God is qualified to do.

The purpose was to show that even if something sounds plausible on the Internet and even if it is loaded with big scientific words it should not be believed until verified by factual, trustworthy sources.

Oh man drifting off here so I will some up. The next time you read a news article posted by someone, especially if they say, "I know this happened because ...." Verify with other sources before you repost. When I say other sources I mean those other than listed by the article. 

Now why would someone post something not true about someone or something? Simple, to cause trouble. Don't fall into someone else's trap, consider the source and check other places of information before you repost something that maybe utterly false.
