none of us are as dumb as all of us

Ms. 5chw4r7z interviewed on Fox19 news 'splainin how regular people can find value in twitter.
usually when the news media, TV or print begins reporting a cultural phenomenon its jumped the shark and all over. But I think this twitter thingy has some staying power, so I'll give them props for trying to get in on the act. But still i find it amusing sometimes media trying to explain to their target audience the significance of an online tool.
Or as Jacki said "ZOMG IT'S NOT JUST CAT LADIES IN THEIR MOMS' BASEMENTS WHO USE THE INTERNET! WHO FUCKING KNEW?!"

But in the end I though it was a good piece and Ms. 5chw4r7z did a really good job.

UPDATE: Thinking about it on the way into work this morning maybe I came off too negative. Fox19 seems to aim at a younger audience than the other guys, and the Fox people do use their twitter accounts realativly more so this story does make sense for them. If people think twitter is only about the 5chw4r7z eating a Big N Tasty on Friday, well maybe watching this they can find some value in it for themselves.
Raise your hand everyone who like Feoshia felt you already knew Ms. 5chw4r7z.
