I found this on my hard drive tonight — it’s an audio clip sent to me by a friend several years ago: sweepscankillyou.mp3

People in newsrooms will listen to this. They will laugh. They will send it around to their friends. Everyone will recognize how close to home this hits because it sends up all the cliches.

Then they’ll make more promos just like it.

In the next version, they’ll include tape of a person actually dying — while drinking tap water. “Are YOU next?!?!”

My station is running a campaign called “Bad Ideas”, and if you click my name, there’s a great one mocking Weather promos. “Panther Radar 3D-HD with Digital Storm Stalker. It’s taller!”

“Digital Storm Stalker” is the best phrase I have ever heard.

Ahhh, the great Charlie van Dyke!

Best VO / Voice of God ever.

I believe he’s retired now and, at last word, had joined the ministry…!
