Tuesday's assignment:

Critique.

There's not much for me to say about this, I feel like he's the professional and so there probably shouldn't be very many things to critique, but i'll try.


Aren't we supposed to avoid starting an article off with a sentence? It was on the list for cliche leads.
Second, I could have done without the grandmother being frisked part. Not because it was a bad sentence, but because it's a rather unpleasant thought, haha.
Third, the first paragraph is ridiculously long, I don't know if that's the fault of the person that filed it on the website though. It lost me.
Next, what's the Air Travelers Association? Is that supposed to be common knowledge?
And what is a "blah" response? Also, is it right to assume that all people know what a blog is? If I didn't, I don't think I would have understood a single concept in this article.

As for multimedia wise, there was a picture along with the article. However, the picture was of a plane from 2007, while the article wasn't published until over 6 months later in 2008. Why wouldn't the editor choose a more up to date picture? Seems like that would have been possible figuring that was just taken from a file.

Things I enjoy:

I like you because I don't know why but
Everything that happens is nicer with you
I can't remember when I didn't like you
It must have been lonesome then

I like you because because because
I forget why I like you but I do
So many reasons
On the 4th of July I like you because it's the 4th of July
On the fifth of July, I like you too


And on a completely different note...

Hate is baggage. Life’s too short to be pissed off all the time. It’s just not worth it.

On Monday thousands of extra troops were deployed into Chile after a magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck on Saturday. The 7000 total troops will be placed in the areas closest to the epicenter of the earthquake to try and keep order after increased looting, arson, and tensions among survivors in the devastated disaster zone.

In entertainment news, more than 5000 people posed nude in front of the Sydney Opera House on Monday. The participants shed their clothing for a photograph by American artist, Spencer Tunick, who hopes to spread the message that Australians embrace a free and equal society for all sexualities.

Moving on to crime news, investigators are still searching for California teen, Chelsea King, after a man was arrested on suspicion of rape and murder in connection with her disappearance on Sunday.
