Slow News Day, Channel Five?
Tuesday, February 20th, 2007Local news is usually about bad things happening to a handful of the millions living in the metroplex. Which is why I usually don’t bother with it. But I managed to catch Channel 5 blowing the lid off this amazing story:
A tanning salon in Arlington went out of business and closed.
They had the reporter standing in front of the closed salon. They had people complaining that they had paid in advance and couldn’t get tan for their cruise. They had people, without irony, saying “this is no way to run a business.” Guess what, folks. If you were paying someone to irradiate you, you were getting ripped off before they went out of business. Enron this ain’t.
