John stayed after his swimming lesson last week to splash in the pool for a while. As a result, he earned his 15, er... 3, seconds of fame. He seemed unimpressed. If you want to find him, look around 35 seconds for the lime green shirt.
I am more intrigued by the fact that this passed for a news story on our local TV station. Now I know why I don't bother to watch TV news. I tried once or twice in the past year and was overcome with the onslaught of commercials, which seem to occupy more time than the news show. This points out to me that the news itself is really just a series of advertisements, too. Ah, so glad we have a strong journalistic tradition in our country - it really makes our democracy strong.
Heck, even _we're_ newsworthy here...the local news is garbage, everywhere, and national/international news is taxes and wars. What are you gonna do?
