Angelic Anchoring

Kerri-Lee Halkett posted to her blog a recent report Ten O’Clock News aired on the existence of guardian angels. It’s a story almost as exciting as a hypercritical blogger telling you about it.

The gist of the story: People believe in guardian angels, and sometimes people attribute unexplained events to supernatural powers. There is also an extended interview with one of the stars of Touched by an Angel, which the report also notes “ran for nine seasons beginning in 1994.” (Emphasis mine.)

The report also has one of those incredible descriptions under a person’s name local television news can only provide: “NEJIE MIRANDA-SYLVESTER: BELIEVES IN ANGELS.” I really enjoyed the intro to the piece on the

Kerri-Lee Halkett: Alright, think about this: Have you ever thought you might have a Guardian Angel watching over you? Lots of people do, and many say they can even prove it.

Dawn Stensland: Yeah, I believe it.

Most Americans believe in guardian angels. But you think Stensland would at least wait until the report aired before telling us how she felt!

Mascot Monday Spreads, Albeit Belatedly

Way back when I first started doing this website for PW the Good Day Philadelphia hosts were basically Jennaphr Frederick, Kerri-Lee Halkett and some dude who liked horses, George Mallet. Naturally, I was a daily viewer; one day, three mascots (a baby, a steak and a muffler) came in for some job promotion and Mascot Monday was born.

All the old Mascot Mondays were deleted from YouTube, sadly, though I will probably put them back up eventually (NB: in this sentence, “probably” means “will not.”) But that’s okay; news stations in Cincinnati are picking up the trend.

I think Monday is a better day for dancing than Friday, but it’s a start.

Mayor Nutter Takes On Gaper Delays

So, uh, the mayor helped Dorothy Krysiuk do traffic this morning on Good Day Philadelphia. Apparently the economy is so bad, Mayor Nutter needed to pick up a part-time job, just like how Ed Rendell does Eagles Post Game Live.

Redlasso clip after the jump. (P.S. Somebody get the mayor to dance with mascots next time.)

Clinton Whines About People Whining

Hillary Clinton was on Good Day Philadelphia this morning to dance with mascots to whine about Barack Obama whining about the awful debate. Again, the news media continues to focus on the issues.

To note: Her campaign sent this video out; she will soon be imprisoned for copyright infringement.

Favorite Cartoons Fight Fraud

Pennsylvania Attorney General Tom Corbett went on Good Day Philadelphia yesterday to talk about an investigation, but also made sure to note that on whatever fraud website he was investigating, his crack team of investigators was using names like “Batman” and “Spider-man” and “my favorite, Wile E. Coyote.” Whoo!

Boyz II Men Return Older And Fatter

Hey, Boyz II Men are back! Apparently. Although one member of the group left due to scoliosis and two of ‘em got fat, apparently. And they’re not quite as popular as they used to be, since today’s record release was punctuated with a performance on Good Day Philadelphia.

According to this press release, they’ve also taken up the good cause of defending TV talent shows. In other news, their new album is produced by Randy Jackson, judge on American Idol.

Apparently They Put Jennaphr In A Corn Maze This Morning And Somehow I Missed It, Dammit

To be honest, though, ever since they got rid of the dancing mascots watching Good Day Philadelphia just hasn’t been the same.

If there’s one thing that’s killing me this early afternoon, it’s knowing that of all the days that I didn’t TIVO this morning’s edition of “Good Morning Philadelphia”, it had to be the day that they dropped Jennaphr Frederick in a corn maze somewhere in the wilds of Chester county.

Word is that she’s still there, and after years of abuse, Steve Keeley is refusing the use of SkyFox to locate Little Miss Thing.

Dammit, We Almost Got To See A Naked Woman

This morning on Good Day Philadelphia, reporter and inexplicable fan of Philadelphia Will Do Jennaphr Frederick was at a new Filene’s Basement in New Jersey, covering a rush of drunken brides attempting to get cheap wedding dresses.

While reporting on-scene, a little action took place over her right shoulder.

Dammit! So, so close. Thanks a lot, cameraman.
