Yeah, IP. Hard to parody something that's already descended into self-parody.
I was just thinking about this yesterday and today after clickiing through various cable channels running live TV helicopiter camera shots from above the Neverland Ranch. (Look, a police car! look another police car! ooh, there are trees! What bloody else would the TV geniuses and viewers expect to see? The King of Pop moonwalked out of the house in cuffs when he wasn't even there? Ludicrous.)
Anyone remember how many of these same TV news anchor folks and others in the news industry were saying that after 9-11 TV news would be much more serious covering the news and less likely to fixate on subjects that previously would only be covered by the tabloid papers. Yeah right. I thought it was self-serving bull nuggets then and now when I see a "news" story on national and local TV about Madonna kissing some other chick on TV (was that Brittany? they're getting to look all alike to me), I just laugh.
Remember when CNN tried to act as if it was above all this "lowbrow" sort of "trashy tabloid" stuff?
I guess they still do, but they don't seem to be holding their noses too much when they report on this stuff.
