News lovers

Since Mandy got back from China, she and I have been updating each other on what happened during the two weeks we were apart and out of contact. Of all of the little stories she’s told me, my favorite was about how she now considers the BBC her mortal enemy. No, seriously.

Apparently while over there, Mandy didn't have regular access to the news, which for her is the equivalent of me not watching “The West Wing,” and when she did, it was the BBC. Unlike CNN or Fox News (now 100% pure evil!) which update constantly on the days events, the BBC only films one news show a day—in the morning in China time—and re-airs that for the rest of the day. For Mandy, this was like offering a crack addict Tylenol.
