Last week when the temperature dropped, I was watching a little local news while I ate my cereal in the morning, and they had a reporter doing a story about this local charity group that goes out and distributes blankets to the homeless on really cold nights. Pretty nice, right? They backed it up with some statistics about how many homeless people there are in Austin and how many are sleeping out on the streets each night. All very timely and interesting information.
But then the camera pans out and the same reporter segues into a story about these dorks who have been waiting outside of an Austin Best Buy for three days in order to be first in line to buy the new Playstation. "Not everyone has to sleep outside on a cold night, but some people actually choose too! These Playstation fans are braving the cold temperatures for a chance to be one of the first in Austin to purchase the new gaming system."
Inappropriate.

That's really gross. Although sometimes it's entertaining to watch an anchor struggle to introduce some stupid human-interest story right after talking about some horrible tragedy. Not every story has to have some cutesy thematic link, you twerps.
