shoulda predicted it would turn out badly

A tv station in Phoenix has fired an employee over the addition of a few seconds of porn being added to the end of a news broadcast. Further legal actions are pending.

I know pretty much nothing about the sordid world of broadcast journalism. I know nothing about television production. However, I am thinking that as few as 5 seconds of thought might have clued this "employee" into the idea that adding porn to a news broadcast wasn't gonna end in a good way for them.

I was all high on the grooviness of you humans for getting together and searching for that lost boy scout -- and then one of your kind does something like this. However, it is nice to keep my feelings about humans in perspective. Some of you are really cool. Others, well, you need to be smacked real hard by your mommas.
