annuinSometimes news sites really suck.
CNN's main page news remains about the earthquake and subsequent tsunamis, which, with a currently projected death toll of 60,000 people is not surprising. However, under their "More News" header is a link to CNN affiliate Sports Illustrated's article "Swimsuit model survives tsunami". Because yeah, that's just so important in comparison.
Giving it a quick look over, yeah, it's sad her boyfriend is still missing, but the fact that that story warrants a front page mention on CNN is ridiculous. They had a similarly ridiculous story article on CNN the other day too, about some interior decorator who occasionally appears on Oprah fucking Winfrey, who also happened to be in Thailand. Once again, it's sad his friend is missing, but that all kind of pales in comparison to the complete carnage that's been inflicted, wiping out entire villages and towns at a time. But maybe a semi-famous person's face on top of a story helps make it more... real?
Some people's priorities are completely screwy.
