Form Letters

I love Bowl time...where college teams are paired up to play the "BIG GAME" at the end of the year...some for pride, others for a championship. We're here watching our beloved Bulls struggle through the first half of the Sunbowl. The teams break for halftime...the band and dancers take the field, and some guy named Baby Something is rapping along with 100 girls dressed up in gold go go dresses. Who is this guy? Didn't realize I had gotten that old over night.

Well, I did a little Googling and came across last years halftime show featuring Rhianna (a much more popular star) and read the article. So I Google again, knowing that this Baby Person is not Rhianna, and I find that the Baby Person, who is named Baby Bash, is Arista's new up and coming star. Cool, and good for him. I read the article to learn a little more about this Baby......and hmmm...Dejavu?

Rhianna:
“It is truly exciting to have one of the nation’s premier artists perform at the Helen of Troy Halftime Show,” said Sun Bowl Association President John H. Folmer. “Rihanna brings such an added value to the ticket buyer, who can now see the excitement of college football with a live halftime performance from the female artist of the year.”

Baby Bash:
"We are really excited to have an up and coming artist like Baby Bash perform at the Helen of Troy Halftime Show presented by Clear Channel," said Sun Bowl Association president Linda East. "He brings added value to the ticket buyer, who can now see the excitement of college football with a live halftime performance from one of the top Latin entertainers."

So in the world of Form Letters, we also have Form News Article!

Makes perfect sense though doesn't it....just fill in the blanks:

A ____________ was found ________ at _________, police are still investigating. We will bring you the latest as details come in.

How many times do you hear that a night on the news? Precisely why we don't tune into any news stations on the TV anymore. No creativity in reporting, but plenty of depressing murders and rapes to delivery with a smile. Easy to do when you're just reading a form letter every night, desensitizing at its best.

Oh yeah, and back to Bowl Game Halftime Shows....no, I can't go there, that's a whole other post.
