Calvin likes watching the US Fox News channel over his breakfast most mornings, this morning no different. While I was sitting next to Calvin this morning – he watching Fox, me reading my over night messages (on my phone) while drinking my cup of tea, I hear one of the presenters on #Out Numbered state in jest “anyone that still hand writes notes is a serial killer”. OMG my poor phone was nearly covered in my tea that I was drinking!
Give me a frigging break Fox News – what a completely stupid and LAME thing to say EVEN as a joke! Which I hope it was just a sad presenter trying to be funny! Attitudes like this is sadly why the New Zealand postal system is about to reduce the days of the week they deliver the post/mail/serial killer notes! Because people are no longer sending personal mail; the only mail that is going out these days is BILLS and even most companies are now emailing even those!
Am I one of the few serial killing letter writers out there? I write to a handful of my overseas dear friends each month. YES I know by the time the letters arrive, if its important I would have either iMessage, emailed or heck if really urgent called them with what might be in the letters. But come on, nothing beats getting something else in the mail other than a bill or in our case a postcard sent by ourselves to, well ourselves LOL (yes we do that as well).
SO why mock people that still have the art of personal letter writing? HELL mock people that still know how to hand write a note by referring them to a social outcast that normally has anti social behaviours and have a habit of knocking people off!!!
My view of Fox News was low before this but now it is rock bottom! If they want to throw rocks they need to move from the glass house because there is a few things I could say about the bimbo looking female hosts they have for most of their shows or something about their fake hair, eye lashes and WAY to short dresses they are always wearing as well! But that would be ranting or being mean and I wouldn’t globally label someone or a group of people =? it wouldn’t be “fair and BALANCED now would it!

Your view of Fox News could never be as low as mine and I don’t even watch it.
LoL it’s background noise for me as soon as Calvin leaves the channel changes 😉
Yep, it was a joke. Some announcers just can’t carry off humor.
Oh I know it’s a joke but it wasn’t funny. And we’ll I just dont get why it was even said on a ‘news’ show when they were discussing politics not killers nor anything about writing?
“outnunmbered” also know as The 8 Legs Hour. Male viewers are known to turn down the sound and just watch.
LoL yeah I’m thinking they all watched too much Ally McBeal 😱
I refuse to watch Fox News, as its the bottom of the barrel journalism.
Their are children here in North America who are growing up unable to write cusive.
I can but it isn’t pretty John 😳 nothing like what my mothers looked like
I here that. My dad had great handwriting. Mine looks like I’m either in the middle of, or recovering from, a stroke.
Ha ha ha my looks like I could be a doctor lol
A serial killer doctor!
At least I would know how to cut lol
By refraining from sending handwritten letters I display kindness and consideration – my handwriting is illegible!
This just makes me so happy
LOL! It would seem I am a serial killer too. I don’t watch Fox news, but from all I hear about it, I am surprised anyone does! I love handwriting. I write everyday, usual my journal or to do lists, but the kids and I enjoy passing notes too, and I LOVE writing letters when I have time. 🙂
I’m the same Elle 👍👍👍
I jokingly refer to them as either Fox Noise or Faux News — reduces the urge to throw things. 🙂
Loved the post —-
I know they are shocking. I love faux news going to have to steal that from you Jen 😱👍😜
Enjoy! Keeps ‘ya sane. 🙂
Did you know they won a court case saying that they don’t necessarily have to tell the truth? No kidding.
It’s shocking. The news should be 100% the truth wouldn’t play over here we have truth in advertising laws they don’t even call fruit juice juice if it’s not 100% all fruit 😱
I’m the last person to understand Fox Noise…all hype and noise and BS.
But I totally agree with you though.
woah! i must be a serial killer too & one who can’t type…kimberly guillfoyle newsom guillfoyle was a beauty queen lawyer beauty queen.that’s all i know about fox the republican network
We call it Faux News. Won’t let anyone watch it in my house.
