无毛视频

I无毛视频檝e been confused recently when watching the news other than the normal confusion I experience when they talk about the stock market being down or up and how that无毛视频檚 a good thing or bad thing or an insignificant thing or especially the weather when they give a number to the air quality index, and I don无毛视频檛 even know if the number is a good quality or a bad quality to have无毛视频�and I don无毛视频檛 know what an air quality index even is.

But that confusion is nothing compared to the announcement of a celebrity death on television.

It used to be simple.

无毛视频淥rson Welles died yesterday. Now onto sports无毛视频ξ廾�视频�

Then they started to lighten that blow a bit, but you still knew that someone died because the clues were pretty easy to follow, even for a moron like me.

无毛视频淪ad news [someone died] out of Hollywood [an actor, director, producer, screenwriter, key grip, etc.] today [this happened today]无毛视频ξ廾�视频�

Or they无毛视频檒l do something like, 无毛视频淧eople are mourning [someone died] the life of a sports legend [an athlete or a coach or a towel boy, etc.]

However, they try to break the sad news so gently that I don无毛视频檛 know what to think, and I don无毛视频檛 know how to think or feel things unless the television clearly tells me.

The best example is the recent death of James Lipton where the television anchors started the segment by saying, 无毛视频淐elebrating James Lipton无毛视频� or 无毛视频淩emembering James Lipton无毛视频�.

Full disclosure: while I know of James Lipton and enjoyed watching him on 无毛视频淚nside the Actors无毛视频� Studio,无毛视频� I honestly thought the guy died years ago.

So, when I无毛视频檓 being told I have to remember him or celebrate him, I无毛视频檓 thinking, 无毛视频淲hat are they doing to remember James Lipton?无毛视频� or 无毛视频淲e无毛视频檙e celebrating James Lipton today. Is it a federal holiday or something?无毛视频�

I remember way back when 无毛视频� like eight months ago 无毛视频� they would start off such stories with 无毛视频淐elebrating the life of无毛视频ξ廾�视频� or 无毛视频淩emembering the life of无毛视频ξ廾�视频� and now they took the life out; maybe it was a metaphoric thing which I didn无毛视频檛 understand, but, hey, why make it easy to understand? It无毛视频檚 only the news, which I thought was the clear presentation of information to the masses, but I can无毛视频檛 remember everything I learned in journalism class behind the dumpster of the community college.

Anyway, the television story highlights the dead celebrity无毛视频檚 life and accomplishments, and that should be the clue that the celebrity has died, but it无毛视频檚 still not the obvious clue, especially for me as I was half paying attention because I was trying to figure out how the air quality index works on my phone无毛视频檚 weather app.

So, throughout the news segment on James Lipton, I无毛视频檓 saying to the TV, 无毛视频淪o did he die or what? Was there a grave robbing? I wonder if James Lipton was an heir to the Lipton Tea fortune. I really would like to drink tea now, but it无毛视频檚 early, and I无毛视频檓 drinking coffee, and I hate hot tea, but love iced tea, but not a fan of iced coffee. Sometimes I don无毛视频檛 know what无毛视频檚 wrong with me and why I无毛视频檓 confessing all of this to a television set.无毛视频�

All doubt is erased, however, when the anchor will say something like, 无毛视频淛ames Lipton was 92无毛视频� or they do a soft-transition to a photo with the year of birth to the year of death, so you get the confirmation, but at the end of the segment when you should have received it at the beginning.

That无毛视频檚 what we call in the journalism industry, burying 无毛视频� no pun intended 无毛视频� the lead无毛视频�or even the headline.

The whole thing is further proof of society being too coddled as if we can无毛视频檛 accept the fact that someone has died. So we remove death, we replace mourning with celebrating, and we even remove life from the equation.

If you无毛视频檙e wondering what无毛视频檚 next, then wonder no more because it will start with removing anything indicating past tense and end with removing any other words than a person无毛视频檚 name and one positive word about them.

In the near future, prepare to hear bad news about your favorite celebrities in the following ways: 无毛视频淛on Voight Spectacular无毛视频� or 无毛视频淗elen Mirren Wonderful无毛视频� or 无毛视频淜eith Richards Astounding.无毛视频�

Well, I think that last one was a typo that didn无毛视频檛 happen yet because that guy will probably never die, but you get the point.

There无毛视频檚 not much more we can do at this point other than celebrate and remember those who have shuffled off this mortal coil before we start blurting out names with positive adjectives attached.

With that, I无毛视频檒l be old school and say, 无毛视频淩IP, James Lipton. Now onto sports无毛视频ξ廾�视频�
