Sometimes the talking heads really get to me

So I was watching this "Headline News" channel and this talking head was interviewing the president of a new X-Box community sports gaming experience. I guess what you can do is kinda have like a newsgroup, but instead of trading conversation you all play in a league. A real kewl idea, say you and like 20 friends all get on and then you can track how you do vs. your friend. Well back to my rant.

So this super old bommer dude was asking how the thing works and said it was a little "tech heavy", "needing a PC and a web browser." WTF "tech heavy?" Tech heavy is having to download new drivers for you video card, update your sound card, and then you find out Doom won't load. You see before XP and Win2K you might have to fight with your new video game only to find out that your system is too slow to run that hot new game all your friends are playing. So to this over the hill bommer who thinks a PC and a web browser is "tech heavy", I say get the fork out of that news room of yours and try talking to the common man. Instead I guess its easier for you to sit there and be the voice of doom and gloom, so your 24 hr. news channel can get more ad revenue.

Here is the actually text I wrote,

"So I was watching your Headline News feature on Saturday morning, and you ran a story about the new games coming to X-Box and X-Box live. The interviewer commented that the package needed to play the game was "Tech Heavy", "needed a computer and a web browser".

OMG come on tech heavy would be having to configure graphics setting and download patches for different video cards, have a conflict with .dll's, or an incompatible sound card. I think your interviewer needs a "Tech Heavy" class before he enters the realm of tech, and video games, cuz a web browsers and a PC are as low tech as you can get.

In fact if I were the guy on the other end of that question I would be like wtf are you doing telling ppl my games are "Tech Heavy", you might of just cost me several hundred sales.

Come on CNN get with it .. and teach your talking heads about the world instead of letting them live in that bubble of the news room."
