I just saw the worst news ad ever!

Paraphrased: "Kids love to use instant messages. They might send hundreds per day. And when they do that, they use shorthand. Shorthand with...IMPROPER GRAMMAR!"

That's the top story on the local news tonight. Sometimes people don't use proper grammar on the Internet and on text-messages. Apparently, this is considered news. And it's considered a major tragedy judging by the announcer's voice, which used the same tones as "Are sex offenders working in your child's school?"

I know it's sweeps month, so local news stations need to scare people into watching. But is that really the best they can do?
