BREAKING NEWS ON CNN!!! Holy shit, stop the presses.
"The Associated Press reports reality TV star Anna Nicole Smith exchanged vows with boyfriend Howard K. Stern on a boat near Nassau, but the ceremony is "not legally binding," her attorney Michael Scott said."

Holy freaking God. Is this what passes for "news"...let alone "breaking news" nowadays?

Can somebody post a screen grab?

1. Yes, it certainly is.
Don't want anyone thinking too much about anything that actually matters, now, do they?

4. If the masses didn't watch it, they wouldn't post it.....
are the majority of people reading? involved in the arts? educating themselves? out in nature being active? Nope....they are parked in front of their TVs, gouging themselves on reality shows, voyeurism, all wrapped up in the pathetic lives of others. No wonder that so few are paying attention - or even wishes to pay attention - to the permanent messes being created by our child so called president.

8. Wasn't there something about a torture bill or something?
Naaah, couldn't have been important. This is much more newsworthy.

16. Who gave her an extra minute on her allotted 15?
Hugh Hefner gave her the 15, now CNN has been another.

Hey, CNN, America died yesterday. Report that.
