And now.. this….

OK.
I was going to title this – End Of The World Part VII.

This is actually a local news station in Bakersfield, California.

They created a music video to sell their viewers on the idea of going to Facebook to ‘Like’ them.

Oy

Let me say that again

Oy.

This is painful to watch.

If you ever saw the movie NETWORK, That Was A Satire!!!

    boy, sure hope none of your uk readers who might be vying for one of those local tv licenses that @jeremy_hunt is giving away see this.

    it’ll spoil the uk’s latest attempt at local tv before it even launches.

    “oy” is putting it mildly, but i only watched :59 of it.
