Dead Giveaway. . .

I was reminded this morning of the viral auto-tuned news song "Dead Giveaway because someone I'm following pinned it on Pinterest.


With the story of the kidnapped girls somewhat in the past, I realize, I not only hope the girls are doing well but that the neighbor, Charles Ramsey, who saved them, is doing well. These people become viral because they speak colorfully ("Hide yo wife". . ."Oh Lord, Jesus, there's a fire.") They also happen to be poor. And yet, they have their 7-seconds of fame. It would be nice if they also got some renumeration and could be financially secure for a while. I'm not saying they're heroes, but they are people. And they've got an infectious way of describing life.


And by the way, the guy standing behind Charles in the "Dead Giveaway" video, created by the Gregory Brothers, has the most priceless expressions in the world. He is extremely amused, not by the situation but by his neighbor's gift for exaggeration and arresting language.


Also by the way, can you imagine if ALL news was auto tuned? Like the news networks were doing it themselves, with some kind of in-house DJ. Talk about hypnotic. I'm reminded of Wandmaker Garreck Olivander in Harry Potter. They could do great things with that plan. Terrible things. But great things.


And can you imagine in one of those unfolding emergencies, when the news people keep hovering, basically updating you on the fact that they don't know what's going on. You'd be right there with them for hours if they put a beat behind that sh&t. ‪#‎GoingDeepToday‬ ‪#‎DeadGiveAway‬‪#‎OneThoughtLeadsToAnother‬ ‪#‎IKnewSomethingWasWrong‬
