Do you think this would help?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> Signed, Curious<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\n <strong>Dear Curious, <\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>Local news teams are the freak shows of modern America.  After the 1970&#8217;s when circus freak shows became socially unacceptable, people clamored for another group to stare and jeer at.  So local news teams had a nationwide meeting and decided to fill in the gap.  That&#8217;s why they have teeth so white that you can&#8217;t look directly at them, and hard hair do&#8217;s.  The weather people are often the show&#8217;s main attraction- like Zip the Pinhead or Lobster Boy.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Poor fashion sense is just the tip of the ice berg.  They can also have annoying accents, robot-like mannerisms, and indeterminable genitals.   Most of them look like Barbie dolls &#8220;down there&#8221; trust me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> I think your input would be very helpful.  Entertainers like to hear from their fans, especially when there is constructive criticism to be doled out. I emailed Paris Hilton several times about her dumb whorishness and behold- you rarely ever hear about her anymore.  Well, I think she still has a television show but that doesn&#8217;t prove anything anymore. <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sincerely, Poor Lucky Me<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Poor Lucky Me, I have noticed that people who tell us what the weather will be- formerly known as the &#8220;weatherman&#8221;, now the &#8220;weatherperson&#8221;- is very often a moderately attractive woman with ill-fitting clothes. &nbsp; It is hard for me to pay attention to the weather when I am starring at blazers whose buttons &hellip; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/willing-to-help\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Willing to Help&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-378","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=378"}],"version-history":[{"count":15,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3799,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378\/revisions\/3799"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.poorluckyme.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
