The Day All Network News Stopped

I just got home from work, and through force of habit, flicked on the TV. Oops. I guess some trial is over near Santa Barbara and the jury's in and... well, apparently it's the most important thing in the whole wide world because every single channel has ceased all commercial interruptions to cover this breaking event. And here I am watching it. Whoopsie, no I'm not; I turned it off.

UPDATE: This comment from Pony Pal™ Pretty Princess Tori is totally worth moving from the comments ghetto to the front page:
One woman I work with got a phone call. She jumpped up in her cube and announced that her daughter's water had broken and she was going to the hospital to witness the birth of her first grandchild. She then waited 5 minutes to hear the verdict... I only wish I was making this up.

I was at the gym shortly thereafter, and all the little summer interns were glued to it. I couldn't even get on my preferred equipment because dsome vapid woman was mumbling curses while watching.
