Is It Just Me?

Or was the newspaper coverage about this woman taking a slug on a crowded subway train completely overblown? My god, The Daily News had it covered on the front page and four full pages inside. She got shot. She's gonna live. Why don't they just go for it and state the obvious. Maybe a headline more like this:

White Woman Under 30 Shot!

I mean, seriously, what other reason could there be to go on for four pages about this "mactress". She had an under 5 on Law & Order: Criminal Intent? B.F.D. the way they eat up extras for that franchise it's practically required of citizenship. A web-based soap opera? Don't get me started. Perhaps it was her stint in that bit of hilarity everyone's buzzing about, "Fashion" up in White Plains. What's that? No, I don't know where White Plains is either...

Former college director is quoted "She walks into a room and you go, 'My God, it's Julia Roberts,' but in addition to that, she really has a lot of talent." W.T.F.? Does Julia know you called her a hack?

The only remarkable newsworthy coverage in all of this drivel came at the end. Who knew Judge Hatchett was still on the air?

Oh yeah, by the way the suspect we're looking for appears to be "a scruffy blond man with gray pants and a tan jacket". Good luck with that.
