Not Reel News

Erik wanted nothing more than to plop down on his new couch, and watch his new T.V, but it wasent looking good. He had just picked up a “Niverssary” television from a yard sale on the way back to his apartment, and had been tinkering with cords and plugs for the last hour. He was begining to feel that it wasn’t worth the $2.

Erik sat on his couch. He had given up on the T.V. and had just put his head in his hands when it buzzed to life with a loud news jingle. Erik looked up to see a tall blond lady behind a desk on his broken T.V.

“Hello and welcome back to Not Reel News. I’m Cidney Warren, bringing you, the hardest hitting news.”

Erik sprawled out on the couch, and just happy to be watching something, opened a bag of Kroger brand potato chips.

“Yesterday, the Kroger company recalled over 3,400 bags of “Classic” potato chips after many consumers experienced a wide range of violent symptoms. It turns out certain chips were boiled in tainted oils, so put those down Eric.” Laughed the Newscaster.
