There seems to be a lot of talk lately about what the government can do and what it can’t. Both the Republicans and Democrats have used the Patriot act and other loopholes to do the most outrageous things. From waterboarding terrorists, to spying on reporters to giving non-profit groups a royal pain in their butts just to be able to broadcast some propaganda. One of our folk singer crew members, who has a crush on Warren Zevon, wrote and recorded this song. I can wait for this to come true so we can get Google for free. What? It already is for free? Who knew? 

We all know the news never stops, never sleeps and never ceases to find the most terrible parts of the human reality. But even the most seasoned reporter needs a little spice in their life. So, we sent our Wolf Douglas on a short holiday photographing famous burning rivers of America. We were grateful to be able to enlist the services of Capt. Jack Jumpseat to present ADD NEWS while Wolf was away.  From one fat Governor to the terrible news out of Cleveland, WHACKO-TV never fails to find the most bizarre ways to present the daily blues. 

We have all had our moments when we’ve had a few drinks and decided to get behind a 2,000 pound vehicle. But when a loved one decides to “stand by her man”, this can become embarrassing. Thus was the story of Reese Witherspoon’s confrontation with Atlanta Police.  WHACKO-TV listened in on the conversations between the last newspaper reader and his “better half.” Who in most cases, never stands by her man. A little birdie told us this was worth putting on. What do little birds know? 

Since professional NBA player Jason Collins decided to announce to the world that he is Gay, other famous athletes, artists and actors have made the move to out themselves.  WHACKO-TV has spread the world in the “community” that we are more than open to being a vehicle for openly announcing how openly you plan to be. No one here will judge you. We have already been judged by a higher power – 220 volts. 

Probably one of the hardest things for a TV station like WHACKO-TV to cope with is the aftermath of major tragedies, like what happened in Boston recently. You wait for that moment when you can create something that is true to your credo without disturbing the timetable of national mourning, holistic healing and meaningful reflection. Well, we have been reflecting, too. And so, we give you Surveillance Fruits. 

North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un’s saber-rattling is sure getting a bit loud. We can hear it all the way down here at the WHACKO-TV studios. This new campaign to get celebrities to speak out against Kim caught our attention. We thought it was Kim Kardashian so we jumped; only to find out it was Kim Jong Un. We wonder what that is short for? So here now, a presentation that brought together famous people from the past and present to tell the world what they think about Lil’ Kim. 

Rani ki vav is a famous step well situated in Patan town in Gujarat in India. WHACKO-TV has sent camera people all over the world to capture some of the most amazing places. Wolf Douglas once again takes us into the depth of this step well to give us a bird’s eye view of this ancient architecture. Most historians believe that it was built in the memory of Bhimdev I (AD 1022 to 1063) son of Mularaja, the founder of the Solanki dynasty of Anahilwada Pattan in about 1050 AD by his widowed queen Udayamati; details, details. They were not at home when we visited. We were amazed at how commercial this landmark has become. 

Everyone remembers the night they drove old Dixie down, the day that Sarah Palin walked away from her cushy Governor’s chair and the morning Pope Benedict XVI decided to hang up that big old hat. There are many Cardinals jockeying for that solid gold ring, and we think a few Yankees as well. As uncouth as it may be, some American men of the cloth have taken to the airwaves to declare their readiness for the post. Is nothing sacred? Why did we even ask that, we are WHACKO-TV? 

This time of the year we all get totally saturated with tons of ads from all the tax preparation companies on radio, TV, cable and the internet. WHACKO-TV just picked up a new advertiser: H&R Flock. We were just as surprised as you to see Tony Facovia our trusted legal expert as a pitchman for a tax service. We would love to get our taxes done as soon as possible before the government runs out of money, well, unless you owe the I.R.S. Hey, we all have been down that road. 

It looks like the programming develop team at WHACKO-TV has been quite busy. They’ve put together a gangbuster Wednesday night line-up to go up against the other networks. We questioned the marketing department’s idea of the slogan: Must See Stupid! First of all, we have no problem with the use of the term “stupid” keeping in mind that old bromide “if the shoe fits”, but “must see”? Does one have to do anything somebody else wants them to do in a free country? I mean we have the 2^nd Amendment, what could go wrong? Please enjoy the promo video for WHACKO WEDNESDAY.
