Just read an article about the Hyundai cargo ship that sunk off of Georgia and this quote had me LOL: "...all 24 crew members were rescued alive." Is it even possible to rescue someone who is dead?

Recovered alive may have been a better wording.

Kind of like the news anchors who use the phrase "armed gunman". Nothing more pathetic than an unarmed gunman.

Well, it all likelihood, he probably did have arms. How else could he carry a gun?

Another stupid phrase I hear from weather anchors is "dangerous lightning". As opposed to user friendly lightning.

Does a gruntled worker sound any happier than a disgruntled worker?


Today's mainstream journalists use twitter to fact check....nearly all of it is laughable. Maybe news journalist are trying lower the accuracy bar to help out the weather men (and women)

I once rented a Waverunner, that had a warning sticker on it.  "Do not operate under the influence of alcohol, injury or serious death may occur"

I don't know about you.....but pretty much ANY death is serious haha.
