Alpo Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Britney Spears got arrested for drunk driving. Now me, personally, I don't care. Especially since this happened in California. I doubt very seriously if she's going to run over me when she's driving drunk in California, since I'm nowhere near so California. But apparently it is a big deal and it is Nationwide news. And Yahoo news emailed me this morning and this is what it said. >Authorities reportedly said they pulled the singer over after a report of a BMW driving erratically. A rep for Spears called the incident “inexcusable.” She has a court date of May 4.< I bolded the sentence that caught my attention. Her representative called the incident inexcusable. Which part was inexcusable? Her driving drunk? Or her getting arrested? They need to be a little bit clearer when they write a news report. Do away with ambiguity. 1 Quote

Colorado Coffinmaker Posted March 6 Posted March 6 So, when and where have you seen "News" reporting that DID NOT include Ambiguities?? Iffin you weren't interested in Britney Spears, why did you open it inna first place?? Seems somewhat Ambiguous don't it?? 2 Quote
Subdeacon Joe Posted March 6 Posted March 6 Well, when you pull it out of the context of the statement it is confusing. But looking at 5 or 6 Yahoo links, they all said, ""This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable," a representative for Spears tells PEOPLE in a statement. "Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time."" Other sources were the same. Now, I don't get the Yahoo emails, so i have no idea what was in the email, but I assume that it was similar to what I saw. Quote

I don't know why I get the Yahoo emails. I certainly didn't sign up for them. But they show up, two or three times a day, maybe more. And they have between 3 and maybe 10 headlines with a thumbnail story of about three or four lines. This is to get you to click on it and go read the story. I didn't click. I read the three or four lines in the thumbnail. 1 Quote
Subdeacon Joe Posted March 6 Posted March 6 (edited) So you aren't reading the article, just the Billy Mays headline. Or maybe the carnival midway talker patter. 3 hours ago, Alpo said: But apparently it is a big deal and it is Nationwide news.

Which part was inexcusable? Her driving drunk? Or her getting arrested? What you wrote suggests that it was the entire comment in the article, not just the bait in a headline. ADDED: A side note, if not for your post about it I wouldn't have looked at 5 or 6 Yahoo links, plus CNN, NBC, CBS, BBC, and several others to see if any of them gave the short version you had high lighted. You do a better job than the headlines do. Edited March 6 by Subdeacon Joe 1 Quote

watab kid Posted March 7 Posted March 7 i heard this on the radio news , my first thought was who cares ? my second thought was she hasnt been in the news lately and wanted to be ! , my third thought followed the OPs thinking that the quotes were very ambiguous - but that led me right back to my first thought , she is struggling to stay relevant and anything will do .........she had a great body once but she is quickly aging out Quote
