Aren't you sick of those news "anchors" with their blow-dried hair and insipid smiles? Well why not replace them with something everybody loves? Basically the news would scroll along the bottom. The majority of the screen would be video of puppies--romping, sleeping, and generally being adorable. In
the background there would be various kinds of music--stadium rock for the sports report, classical for business, maybe jazz for the business report, etc. Special adapters would be available for the visually impaired.
Viewers could send in videos of their own beloved mongrels. And maybe for the international news there could be other baby animals--kittens, chimps, whatever.

Hmmm. Get a newspaper and buy a puppy. The puppy will know what to do with most of what's considered 'news'. |

Substitute the video of puppies "romping, sleeping, and generally being adorable" with one of J.Lo doing same and I'm with you. |

Would the news be puppy-related? But I suppose then it would be things like "...and a further hundred and six puppies were dredged out of the Dead Sea this morning two days after a terrorist attack on a local puppy mill. In economic news, new numbers released today indicate that, due to owner death and general neglect, the welfare of puppies in European Russia is at its lowest level since Stalin's last five year plan, when millions were eaten by Ukrainian peasants..." |

Some of us watch news just to listen the newsreader read. Me, whose Sony stereo arrived with the radio broken, and those who can't listen to NPR anymore because of the way Spanish is so aggressively correctly pronounced by "Ma-REEEE-ah Hino-jHHHHo-ssssaaa in the Central American nation of Neeee-harrrrr-RAHH-gu-aaaa". |

Dogs can't talk. Perhaps if they were equipped with that Pet Translator... they'd still be way too perky. |
