Great, you've ruined it!

I am firmly in the 18-49 demographic. I am also a white male which means I listen to a lot of talk radio. Guilty as charged.

Years ago, before the internet, I'd be listening to a radio newscast or the host of a show and they would read a story from the "lighter side" of the news, or some tidbit of information that would be helpful to know. You'd hear a story about a cat that flew from America, stowed-away in the tire compartment of a plane to get to their owners in England... or you'd hear about a man that was hit in the head and now speaks with a French accent.

Well let me tell you the internet has ruined all of that. I get up in the morning and I read the headlines and then I listen to my radio shows and they report the same thing I just read on the internet. "Hey, after the break I'm going to tell you what you don't know about eggs." No kidding. I read that 12 hours ago. Are you just really lazy Mr. or Ms. radio personality? I know that there is a finite amount of news to go around, but I know that you're just going to Yahoo! News and picking stories.

The first person to do this was Robin on Howard Stern. "Howard, The Daily News reported yesterday that Michael Bolton and Cher..." No kidding Robin. How much $$$ are you being paid to read me yesterday's newspaper?

Arghhhh!

Just another example of how the internet has ruined everything. Including porn!

I agree with almost everything you've written in this post, but admit it: nothing can REALLY ruin porn.
