Why Didn't They Just Go To The Sri Lanka-Themed Hotel In Las Vegas?

Here's an almost verbatum account of the special news report that broke into programming to alert us to the awful catastrophe in South Asia.

"Earthquake..Tsunami...etc...Several AMERICANS....20,000 dead and rising...some of them CHILDREN...back to M*a*s*h rerun..."

If no Americans had been visiting, and the children were all saved, would they have reported it at all? Oh yeah, I forgot about the last 2 years in Iraq...

If you're so inclined, give.
