2006-12-07 00:50:05 Is a Cat Stuck in a Tree Really News?
After some feedback I got on my "soft news" analysis of the renetto-gregsolomon controversy, I noticed a 17 second clip from the Fox TV comedy "The Simpsons" also raised this serious issue. Juxtaposed with a questionable news teaser from my local NBC affiliate, these two clips lead to two serious questions I pose at the end of my video.
The 17 second clip from "The Simpsons" is taken from episode 1807 titled "Ice Cream of Margie (With The Light Blue Hair)" that originally aired on November 26, 2006 and is described in greater detail at: http://www.thesimpsons.com/episode%5Fguide/1807.htm
The 3 second clip of the cat in the tree was a news teaser that ran on my local nbc station, KCRA, on December 6, 2006.
