When a fucking news article, ESPECIALLY a news article online, is perfectly capable of telling basically the whole goddamn story with a single photograph, but choose to sum in up in 8 paragraphs instead!!!!
Example? Why sure!!!!
http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=2361085
A father and Son set a world record for growing a 252.4 pound watermelon, right?
The ONLY thing in the fucking world that could make this worth reading, would be seeing a picture of this massive watermelon, with perhaps the father and son next to it for reference. But no. They send a reporter out there, interview the guys, probably saw and touched the fucking thing, and NOONE thinks to simply take a picture?!
What the fuck could their excuse be?! A digital camera is too expensive? Couldn't throw in for a photographer, (as if you'd even need a genuine photographer), or did they just actually think "man, people don't wanna see that. They just wanna read 8 or 9 paragraphs about it instead!".
I see this stupid fucking shit ALL the time. News that absolutely requires a picture, but is printed with only boring and clichè writing.
How can coperations with so much money and so much professionalism be so goddamn fucking stupid?
