I’m told CNN is considered a news source in the United States. From a CNN review of the Hyundai Veloster automobile comes this loose and sloppy collection of errors. Speed is a big question? No, speed is the rate of distance travelled over time. One of my biggest questions is “What happened to article before phrase ‘fourth door’?”. I, also, would like to know, what made the writer think, four spurious commas are necessary, in the second two-sentence “paragraph”—not to mention at least eight spurious words (and the writer also needs coaching on the proper deployment and configuration of parentheticals). “Back seats” is not oneword. The writer got into…er, sorry, where, exactly? What has an occupant’s lower intestinal condition to do with the lesson E must learn? For that matter, the writer seems creepily certain an occupant of the Veloster will never again be tired, thirsty, hungry, or horny; E’s sole need will be to learn a lesson once.

For Insurance Fraud?
From TopGear.com. The question was, “Have you ever had to devise a cunning excuse to mask your own driving-related incident?” Unless IGH was participating in insurance fraud, he should have answered, “My soon-to-be ex-wife once threw a large rock through my windscreen.”
Just Change the Channel
Apparently, Shit My Dad Says, the new sitcom starring William Shatner and some other people of whom I have never heard, is not funny. It’s painfully not funny, which is a shame since the Twitterer who is the inspiration for the show is fairly hilarious. To wit:
“No. Humans will die out. We’re weak. Dinosaurs survived on rotten flesh. You got diarrhea last week from a Wendy’s.” 12:10 PM May 26th via ShitMyDadSays.com
I gave up my TV almost four years ago. I still watch documentaries and dramas via Netflix and educational and informative British TV shows, such as Grand Designs, River Cottage, The Business Inspector, or Landscape Mysteries. British television is just so much better than American. But that’s not saying much, is it? If you want to witness the stark contrast, find a British television show that stars Gordon Ramsay (e.g., The F Word, Ramsay’s Best Restaurant, or the first or second season of the UK version of Kitchen Nightmares) and then watch a Fox production of a Ramsay show (e.g., Hell’s Kitchen or Kitchen Nightmares). I guarantee that after watching the British show, you’ll view Ramsay differently.
