PUNCHING KITTY

Lets say you are a sad Canadian that apparently wants to die.  Oh wait, lets also say you are a freaking moron…and oddly enough, have a pilot’s license.  What’s the suicide move?

Would you have decided to hop in a plane, and try to fly across the US border hoping to get shot down only to have that not happen, and then keep flying until you have to make an emergency landing in Missouri?

From The Dirty:

THE DIRTY ARMY: My little sister pulled this up for me today, she was at this Halloween party. The fat, orange slob in the middle is Mary L*nk, proud mother of 5 but it has been said she lets her daughter’s homeless felon friends live with her as well. The more shocking part of this picture is her seven year old son in the bottom right corner. My sister mentioned that she lets them have parties so often that if the police come to their house one more time, she will get her children taken away… which may be for the better.

According to KSDK:

The Major Case Squad is investigating a body found in an apartment complex trash bin.

The body was found Tuesday afternoon at the Monroe Woods Apartments in Pacific.

You want details?  Well guess what crimestoppers!

Investigators have not said if the body is that of a man or a woman, nor have they commented on how it appears the person died.

• The Moonrise Hotel is great for the Loop, but horrible for Delmar. The street just can’t handle it.  If one person heading east wants to turn in to the Moonrise it backs up traffic all the way through the Loop.
• The Cardinals aren’t going to re-sign Matt Holliday.  Deal with it.
• Batman couldn’t really get around very well in St. Louis in his usual rooftop style.  There are too many breaks in the buildings.
• There are too many Thai restaurants in the Loop.  Please eliminate three.
• Dear 101 ESPN, you aren’t “the all new” anything any more.  Please knock that crap off and spend the money for new bumpers.

No not really, but when you do something stupid and you can’t tell your computer from your microwave, you just say a “hacker” did it and then you are cleared of all stupid deeds.

Here’s a quick synopsis of our absolute favorite KSDK reporter’s twitter page:

About an hour later, Zigman figures it out…

Ah.  That solves. it.

We’ve been through this all before…

Last year it was MOVIN 101.1 that finally had the life-support plug pulled on it and switched to Christmas music in October, and now its 100.3 KATZ thats flipping the switch to Christmas music a little earlier than we all would prefer.  So two years in a row, the majority of St. Louisan’s are left scratching our heads as to why on earth you would want to play Chrismas music this early.

Fred has moved on, and if you want to know the details of his split from the Dirt Cheap conglomerate, check out the article that has so much detail you will forget why you cared about this and leave half way through on STLToday.

What we at Punching Kitty want to know is:

Which commercial do you prefer?

The classic Dirt Cheap:

or the new Fred’s Cheapo Depot:

I know the Cheapo Depot is just starting out, but there’s something about the delivery that makes me think he is excited enough about the change to be able to really make some super horribly fantastic commercials in the near future.

After the abrupt cleaning job at K-Hits last week, it seems the St. Louis radio landscape.  Here’s a purposely vague  summary of what we are hearing:

1. It’s been about a year that this much talked about station has launched, what contracts will failed to be renewed?

2. Could there be a shake up in the mornings for a station down the hall from item #1?  We doubt it but contract negotiations aren’t starting off well.

Holy crap the Rams won a game!

Let me rephrase: Steve Jackson won a game.  The rest of them stood around and took penalties for a few hours.

For those that missed the game, here’s a recap: There were tons of dropped balls and penalties and, well…here’s a clip from the game:

Of course there will be those that will spend all day today talking about this being a “turing point” and how this was when people took control, but lets cut the crap.  They barely beat the other worst team in the league.  Lets not go crazy on the turning point crap.  Remember the last turing point when they beat the Cowboys last year?  …oh yeah, that was the last time the Rams one won [Editor’s Note: Crap. FAILure is contagious apparently.].
