Last Night CNN Aired a Lengthy Segment on the Danger of Trampolines |
|
It was and extended “investigative” piece – very serious.
I didn’t know whether to laugh or throw my television out the window.

3. Trampolines are dangerous! |
|
At least someone is talking about it. It was also on during the Anderson Cooper "fluff piece" show during the 7pm time slot. Maybe some of the idiots out there will wisen up about the use/misuse of trampolines.

14. Well, who the hell doesn't know that? The point is they don't investigate |
|
the criminals in the White House.

18. I'm only making a point that they |
|
are fucking dangerous. In no way am I saying that it is more important than the investigation of the high crimes and misdemeanors of the white house.
Actually there are lot of people (or should i say sheeple) that don't know how dangerous trampolines are. Considering there were 59 million who voted for bush, there are probably a similar amount who don't know about trampolines.

4. Imagine how dangerous trampolines are in Iraq. |
|
Did they mention that, hope so.
Remember, this is the network that let Novak continue after betraying vital US security interests in the fight against real terrorism, but made him leave for saying "bull shit" and leaving the set. They don't have their heads screwed on right over/down there. "Morans"

8. Well, my brother ruptured a couple vertebrae jumping on one of them. |
|
My father forbid the rest of us to ever go on a trampoline. Ha, fat chance! I loved the trampoline.
A couple years later, my brother's bad back kept him from going to Vietnam. So all that ranting my father did about my brother being careless, well, that accident probably saved his life. C'est la vie.

.... Great work out and my 10 year old son loves it. And yes we are safe w/ it.
however I have heard that Iran wants to use trampolines to bounce nukes @ our troops.
Once again CNN is on top of the news.

10. Every time we flip past CNN and they have something like this |
|
on--dangerous trampolines, missing girl in Aruba, etc., dh and I have started yelling at the TV (ok, I've been yelling at the TV news for years now--which is why I usually don't watch it) things like "why don't you say anything about how many Marines blew up today."

There used to be a trampoline park in the city where I grew up. You paid a $ amount to rent a tramp for a half hour or so. They eventually tore it out so the movie theater next-door could expand. Ah, for simpler days.

15. Well this is a real issue |
|
Not at all in the same league as the corruption in the WH, however, there are many injured and killed annually on trampolines. My kids were never allowed to jump on them because of all the injuries I saw working in a trauma unit(only second to 3 and 4-wheelers).:shrug:
