chestnutcurlsActual e-mail I just sent to Action News 5, inspired by the endless news coverage, our need to find humor in everything, and a comment from Kathy's dad:
Hi,
My roommate and I are loyal viewers of Action News 5. We feel that, once the war officially begins, the slogan "Showdown with Saddam" should be changed to "Smackdown with Saddam," as the "showdown" part of the conflict will be over and the "smackdown" phase will begin. You could even include a graphic of Saddam in a wrestling ring. :)
At any rate, we thought that this suggestion might make some of you smile during this tense time. :)
Sincerely,
Brenda, loyal viewer
Well...we thought it was funny.
I meant to say this earlier: Happy Birthday,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
fettman! You make us all smile. I hope you have a great day.
UPDATE: I got a response:
Brenda,
Love the suggestion... but feel some viewers might frown on it! Thanks for the giggle... On a serious note, we will change our coverage title when the war begins... Graphics are made... and ready to go. We hope you and your friends will stay with us for continuing coverage...
Thanks,
Tammy Robken
Assistant News Director
