We live in area that is pretty rural, and with no towns of any size. (There are under 10,000 people in our whole COUNTY). Anyway, our local news is about 90 miles away, and they try to cover most of the whole UP (a very big area). They normally have young people, just out of college, who stay for a short time and then go on to bigger and better things.
I almost never watch TV, but Bob turned on the news.
They have a new young newsreader who looks like a 14 year old Dana Carvey. I couldn't help it- he was reading what passes for a serious story in our area about water levels- but I started laughing. I can't imagine EVER being able to take him seriously. Here's a photo from their website: http://www.uppermichiganssource.com/about/bio.aspx?id=909#.UHXyV66LOGg That photo is not really a good likeness, but maybe you can see a hint of what I saw.
And then, my mind ran wild. Picture Dana Carvey, as the church lady, doing our news. The most interesting thing that might happen in a week is that someone driving a truck hits a moose, or the Lake Superior beaches might close. I can just see the Church Lady chastising a moose for walking on the road in front of a truck.
