Slog - Comments on Breaking News--Kandiss Crone Reporting! http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/03/breaking_newskandiss_crone_reporting_liv No, really--she's actually reporting! A few weeks ago Kandiss Crone, Teevee News Reporter, went undercover on the mean streets of Jackson, Mississippi. Her assignment: Bust a Jackson-area adult bookstore that was selling "three dimensional devices," a.k.a. vibrators and dildos, which are illegal in Mississippi and three other states. Or were illegal. Shortly after Crone filed her first report--which was shortly after the Jackson Police Department told her it had better things to do than bust adult bookstores and shortly before I encouraged readers of "Savage Love" to send Crone their used sex toys for safe disposal--the 5th U.S. Circuit Court...

Remember kids, AE's can be just as stoopeed as the reporters they supervise...

Seriously.

"Balanced" doesn't enter into it; sensation is everything. Just because they found a way to talk about dildoes again doesn't mean they're being balanced. Kandiss Crone doesn't even know what's going on; she just reads the magic words off the prompter when the light goes on.

Physicists should descend upon Mississippi immediately to investigate. Perhaps they can teach some basic science courses while they are there.

That is all.
