Stupid newscasters

Last night I had either CBS or ABC on as background noise while I worked on some Chemistry problems (for that damn test tomorrow). They were talking about a case of a cat being kidnapped in a posh Manhattan neighborhood. The owner thinks it's somewhere in the building. She received an anonymous note saying that the cat had bonded with an autistic child so the kidnapper couldn't bear to separate the two. She will never see her cat again but can rest assured that it would be well taken care of.

Then the reporter mentions how the cat has a microchip between her shoulder blades and so next time kitty goes the vet, the vet will immediately be able to tell that this is a missing cat and alert authorities.

Now that she blabbled that on TV do you really think that the poor kitty will ever get a check-up again?

STUPID!! What the hell was the point of saying that?! That required more than one person's lack of foresight.

As my Dad says: "It's idiot country out there. "
