What the **** is with you and watching car chases and that sort of thing on CNN?

You turn them into your own personal game thread.

lol I just think it's hilarious that's all. I never once said don't post it, I never once said you should stop, but everytime you do one of these (usually an exciting car chase.. vroom vroom!) you're the only one who posts about it.

Why would you want to watch it? I don't get it. What if the dude gets his head blown off by a police sniper? Who'd want to see that?

Well since I'm at work with no TV, no I didn't. Why would you want to watch it?

umm...

A kidnapper get in a high speed chase, then gets stopped, and now in a standoff with the cops?

I'd hate to see the standards of what you find even remotely interesting.

It wouldn't be on tv if LOTS of people didn't want to see it.

In fact, if I'm not mistaken, there is a service in LA that will beep your pager or something like that if there is a live police chase on TV.

And then there is the obvious, age old habit of slowing down to gawk as you go by a car wreck.

So . . . . don't ask "who'd want to see that?"

It would probably be a lot easier counting the people who wouldn't.

Hey, I watched the OJ Simpson chase!!!

Hey I like that stuff. People watch it in hopes of seeing the car crash, or shots fired.

Well, thanks for that Jayems. I guess I am boring because I wouldn't watch something for the sake of maybe seeing someone get killed. I am a dud.

This is trashy reality TV at its best (a close second to Maury Povich's boot camp for kids segments).

Jayems, keep me updated!

Beats listening to sport broadcasters talking about nothing happening at the trade deadline.

I've seen a guy cut in half by a c-train.

I would never want to see that again either.

The odd's of this guy being killed are about 0.1%.

The guy can turn himself over anytime he wants.

His fate is in his hands
