overkill much?

boy, things must be slow around the office for canadian press reporter jennifer graham... either that or she's on probabtion and being handed the "shit stories" pile of newsy tidbits... or she could be in some odd spin-off of Groundhog Day where she's forced to write about the same story everyday but she's the only one who realizes it? well, there's a slight hitch in that last scenario because it seem i have noticed it as well...

the link to the original story i posted about skydiver michel fournier's attempt at a 40-km record-breaking jump was out and out replaced by another story about the jump being scrapped. then there was another story about how the balloon that was supposed to carry fournier to great heights floated away without him. and now today there is yet another story blaming static electricity... but with no actual explanation. i expect another story tomorow morning about the exact details... and then maybe another one the next day explaining how static electricity works...

anyway, the best part about it is that ms. graham doesn't even have to write a whole new story! all she has to do it add a new line about the "breaking new development" and then she can just recycle bits of her old stories to flush it out! brilliant!
