Didn't even make the local news, let alone the nationwide programs we have in sioux falls. Local paper here is Argus Leader, not a thing about it from the 14 (when it posted) till now 20th. This state isn't as stupid to bother with some meaningless drivel that old people are complaining about.
If there was a newspaper that covered it, it would have been in pos town in the middle of nowhere, where old people are complaining about "young whippersnappers" and have nothing to do.
*Edit* My state may be stupid (on certain things), but we have more important local events then this disgusting article that means nothing.

Latest news update: NBC Nightly News at 6:30pmEST just did a segment on this ... how many days AFTER it happened?
I guess South Dakota doesn't get the national news either, so Cyndane will have to stay tuned here. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
We get the national news, but are not stupid enough to run the story, as it is a waste of time on the local networks.
The NBC nightly news does come on, but everyone ignores it as this story proves, its a waste of time. If our local station doesn't cover it, then it doesn't matter.

Probably not. The truth of the matter is that it's no-one else's business apart from those involved (the people in the photo and those who arranged it).

Typical for a viewer who skimmed through the news ninety to nothing and missed the details. This article appeared in the Chicago Tribune - that was in Illinois last I looked. And <b>THEN</b> this article appeared nationwide. Yes, even in South Dakota.
Wrong, it was not in any SD news program. Didn't even make the local news, let alone the nationwide programs we have in sioux falls. Local paper here is Argus Leader, not a thing about it from the 14 (when it posted) till now 20th. This state isn't as stupid to bother with some meaningless drivel that old people are complaining about.
If there was a newspaper that covered it, it would have been in pos town in the middle of nowhere, where old people are complaining about "young whippersnappers" and have nothing to do.
*Edit* My state may be stupid (on certain things), but we have more important local events then this disgusting article that means nothing.
Jazzfest, Ellsworth(AFB) closing, and etc.
As for the media - what do you expect? They probably think that most people are bored with Iraq. They're probably right. <!--QuoteEnd--> </td></tr></table><div class='postcolor'> <!--QuoteEEnd-->
That is a depressing attitude.
I guess South Dakota doesn't get the national news either, so Cyndane will have to stay tuned here. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
The NBC nightly news does come on, but everyone ignores it as this story proves, its a waste of time. If our local station doesn't cover it, then it doesn't matter.

The girls were tacky, terribly terribly tacky. And if tacky isn't in your vocabulary, liken it to socially lacking any class.

Perhaps you missed my comparison of this to a man wearing a suit with sneakers or mocs. Same thing if you're having difficulty relating. Totally casual, even tacky.

President Bush is our Commander in Chief, like it or not. He's also the most powerful man in the world. As such he deserves a little more respect than those girls gave him.
