So, even though I think CNN should no longer be considered a news network, I still get a big kick out of cruising the breaking news on their frontpage. Some of you may remember my twitpic of the giant breaking news strip across the top of their front page that read "Michael Jackson Going Back on Tour". I mean, not that I wouldn't love to see Michael Jackson in concert, but in a time where we have two wars and a severe recession, is that really breaking news? But I digress. Today, there was some link with the text "More tot mom party pictures surface". Since I don't keep up with network news, I thought, "Who is tot mom?". My original thought was that maybe this link went to a video of a mother who dressed their 'tot' up in a vegetable costume (ala Anne Geddes) and had a party to take pictures of it. Since that would have been pretty Onion-esque, I decided to actually see what the video was. I also googled "tot mom" and "Caylee Anthony" while I was waiting for the video to load. Apparently, the 'tot mom' is not a very good 'mom' at all! She (allegedly) murdered her own toddler. Despite the confusing moniker, I was able to get the gist of what happened on wikipedia. The actual video segment was some blowhard named Nancy Grace interviewing a guy about pictures he got from a Halloween party that tot mom attended. She was dressed in lingerie and making out with girls. So, that seems kinda typical for a halloween party. Lots of people dress in skanky costumes and make out with someone. But that was the whole video. Nancy Grace going on an on about how we should really hate this woman because she was at a party kissing girls. Even the slug on the video page is "tot-mom-kissing-girls". So... apparently killing your own toddler isn't enough to make America hate you. You also have to be gay.
So my next thought was, why is this person's entire show her being a judgmental bitch? I mean, CNN stands for Cable News Network right? I had to find out more. So a quick google search of "Nancy Grace" turned up some very rewarding videos.

So not only is she a complete waste of a network news program slot, but she's one of those sick people who likes to exploit people's personal tragedies for ratings. America's victim's rights activist my ass. In general CNN is pretty great about providing nonstop coverage of some family's most painful tragedy that will ever befall them, but that's a whole different blog post. For now I just say, Nancy Grace, I hope Wolf Blitzer is there to cover your most painful moment when it happens to you. And to end on a high note, here's Amy Poehler's great impersonation of Nancy Grace.
