News

The teaser on the news for the Nicole Kidman accident story said something like, "Many people were seriously injured, thankfully not her."

Now, I am glad that she's not seriously injured either, but does this strike anyone else as somewhat wrong to say? Are we saying that we hope that, between two people, the celebrity is the less injured of the two because they are a celebrity? That doesn't seem right. It should be unfortunate whoever it happens to, and I'm not sure we should feel "thankful" that the serious injury happened to someone other than the celebrity.

I can't believe it's only 18 degrees outside with winds over 30 mph. Whee, weather.com says it feels like 3 degrees.

ETA: The actual story just discussed injuries, not serious injuries. I think the teaser was worse than the story.
