Verbal mentions

That's what a local reporter wanted in exchange for file footage. This after his retarded (no offense to the mentally-challenged)actions almost resulted in all of the broadcast media being booted from the courtroom. The MacArthur genius candidate was listening to testimony (as it was being recorded) outside of the courtroom where witnesses were waiting to testify. So the whole rule about excluding witnesses from the courtroom to prevent them from hearing proceedings was undermined. First he apologizes to us profusely for his actions and we generously act like it's no big deal. A few hours pass by, another network goes live with the story, the yocal goes live. Then we ask for file and he says, "Sure if you give me AND my station a verbal and visual mention." WTF?! Who gives verbal mentions? Have you ever heard a reporter and/or anchor say, "this video is due to the courtesy of the dumbass who almost got us kicked off this story." OK, seriously, who says "this video is provided by blah blah blah"?? No one. It doesn't happen. And I'm not adding the five seconds of audio track required to set the stupid precedent. I had a verbal mention for him alright but the knowledge that his facelift was gonna give soon provided temporary comfort. Verbal mention. Jackass.
Speaking of jackasses, hot printer guy has yet to reach out and touch someone namely me. Tonight my cameraman asked, "so what's up with all the self-deprecating stuff? you know you're a hottie." ME: Awww, that's so sweet but I'm still fat. Don't make me lift my shirt and scare you with my mom pouch. My cameraman told me I was crazy which was news to neither one of us. Then the conversation veered into dating do's and don'ts and he said that men LOVE aggressive women. Men want us to take the wheel and the guessing out of the dating game. OK, I'll buy that.. right after it jives with the notion of men enjoying the chase. If men want us to be in the driver's seat, why do they get turned off when the chase is over? My cameraman pondered this for a moment and replied, "you're right. Once I get a woman, I'm done, moved on to the next. We do enjoy the thrill of the chase." My point precisely. I've never been more upset about being right.
