Watch out Virginia Kerr, your spot at the top of the “cute TV news reporter” food chain might just be in trouble. Yes, Kerr still has the KMOV crowd on lock, but the overall title isn’t quite the blowout it once was and what some people think it still is.
We always knew April Simpson from KTVI Fox2 was cute, but after her Twitter picture (below) flashed across our desktop the other day betwixt the other updates of the day, we might have mentally broken up with Kerr and moved to Team Simpson.
Now if you’ll excuse me for a moment, I need to talk with Virginia. Unless you are Virginia, please turn away from your screen.
Ok V, we’re alone now.
Virginia…we’ve had some good times haven’t we?
Look, its not you. Actually its not me either. Its April Simpson. She’s attractive. That’s not either of our faults! Its completely out of our control, but that doesn’t mean I can ignore it. Its like a tornado of hottness: No one caused it, but at the same time you can’t ignore it because it breaks a lot of crap. Also there’s a loud whistling sound, which doesn’t really come in to play here. I’m just going to throw this out there too: I’ve started to wonder if you’ve taken your title for granted. Look at April, that’s a photo from someone thats putting in some work. Your photos, are cute sure, but nothing you have on your Twitter account can touch this. This is good for you V! It’s competition, and that makes everyone raise their game. Who knows, 6 months from now I could be back on your team. Good luck to you! …don’t cry. Here’s a tissue. …you know what? Take the box.
Ok, turn back around Its over. The deed is done.
Local news is pretty rough to watch these days as the people in charge continue to claw at the walls of the well they keep falling down, but maybe I’ll start Tivo-ing the Fox 2 mid-day report…you know, just to keep up on the important things, like state fairs and…car wrecks? …I don’t know what the hell they talk about on local news these days and I don’t care….which is where the mute button comes into play!
Come to think of it, how did you “hear” me write to turn back around to finish reading this? Total dick move on your part.
Fox2, like most media companies, are making their employees do the furlough thing to keep the company a float in the toilet bowl that is the media economy for a little longer and now its Glenn Zimmerman’s turn. The thing is though, he’s not diluting himself in to thinking this is an vacation, he’s putting himself out there to find work on his downtime!
