The Amber Alert system blows.......

Did anybody else want to break something when that stupid screen popped up last night when Game 7 of the NBA finals had :13 left? Can't they just go with the bar across the screen and an audio jack? Why do they need to hijack the whole T.V.?

LOL I damn near went apoplectic when that came on at the 16 second mark. My 14 year old kept saying, "Dad, their trying to help some poor family find their daughter. Relax." I didn't.

at least she didn't say "chill"


(oops, maybe your 14 yr old isn't a daughter, sorry)

Err on the side of caution. If it was my daughter I would want them to interrupt the game as well, to guarantee that the message is getting to as many people as possible.

So those people watching TV can go out and look for a mexican with black hair driving a white car, with a girl inside? Good luck.
