Next, Only on Six on Your Side ...
... Eighty-pound fawn invades Josephinum McMansion ... shaking, quavering owner blubbers away about having her house destroyed in an interview you'll only see here.
(And after she righted the dining room chairs and straightened out her Hummel shelf she sat down on her leather couch with some ice cream and watched some woman in Iraq babbling about having her family killed and village destroyed).

First, I have to admit to watching WSYX news tonight.
Now that that's out of the way, they interviewed a homeowner on Jessing Trail who had a fawn jump through her living room window today. Said interviewee's demeanor was as described above -- near tears and devastated by the destruction. No link on the WSYX site as of now, so you'll just have to take my word for it, or someone else who will admit to watching WSYX might speak up.
(I'm too lazy to change channels after watching Pan Am).

I saw this story tonight and it really upset me.
WSYX showed a picture of the poor little fawn dying in the woman's backyard. After all of the animal devastation this week, it was too much for me to handle. I guess it was news, but seeing the dying fawn broke my heart. If they warned their viewers that there may be upsetting material coming up, I missed it.
I'm going to write in a complaint to the station manager. It was not necessary to show the poor little deer.
Sorry. Super-sensitive animal lover here...

Reporter helpfully told viewers that the animal "passed out" from blood loss (cut to shot of dead fawn "passed out" in a blanket). Homeowner may have missed this, as she was still quite distraught over her disheveled dining set. She was also shocked that something like a deer-through-the-window could happen there, in The Woods at Josephinum.

I think we all agree that local TV news is abysmal and inane. Is there a point to this post beyond stupid bashing of someone whose lifestyle and location you have a deep hatred for?

Mo imagine that happening to your house and your stuff. I would be pretty upset too. Sounds like thousands if not more in damages to the home and furniture.

So you could read between the lines and determine I have a deep hatred for this woman's lifestyle but not read between the lines for the irony I so painstakingly highlighted?
Man, the internets are a riot.

Terms like McMansion and your other comments pretty much communicate contempt. If you wish to hide behinid 'irony,' ... I suspect what Inigo Montoya said to Vizzini is correct.

There is apparently nothing ironic about a woman living in a forested luxury home tract being devastated when a frightened fawn being chased by the neighbor's uncontrolled dog comes crashing through her window and then blubbering over damage to her dining set while the fawn dies on the back lawn.
Back to peppering sentences with the term "sustainable" and raving over the latest food truck, CU.

You keep using that word.
I don't think the definition is understood.
Why is it a problem that this lady is upset? I'd be upset - shoot, I also had a bat in my house (caught by my cat, who then attempted to bring me his LIVE PRIZE at 2am). I think I had an actual nervous breakdown getting that goddamn thing out of the house.
Is it newsworthy? Maybe not. But then again, who cares? The lady had a bad day. The fawn had a worse one. The end.
