quick takes: 7 news at 6pm - 12/7/2009

7 news has great aerial footage from sky 7 of the house fire in new bedford augmented with some pretty good cell phone pics from viewers on the scene.  christa delcamp has a live phone interview with a neighbor on the scene.  overall, an excellent execution of integrating sky 7 and different types of viewer submitted content to cover a breaking story.  well done.  (30 points)

frances riveria - the fine filipino is in a clingy brown dress.  she looks like the world's most awesome fudgsicle.  i am totally heading to the white hen when i'm done with this post.

janet wu - the good wu is in brockton in front of a house that contains over 500 pot plants.  while nobody was in the house at the time of the raid, brockton police have lifted fingerprints off of the extensive irrigation and air conditioning systems (oops!) and expect to serve 3 arrest warrants shortly.  i am on a big time good wu kick these days.

the best two things about tonight newscast:  nbc reporter stephanie stanton's jugs. she is in the mojave desert covering the sir richard branson space plane story.  screw branson's space plane.  wouldn't it cheaper  and more fun to fill ms. stanton's big boobies with helium, strap yourself on and go around the world?

steve pagliuca is much fatter than i realized.

vicki warren looks 10 kinds of scrumptious in her green north face snorkel jacket. (40 points).  she's got the interview with the "purse stuck on the red line train woman".  the "purse woman" is very pretty cute (and apparently a bank VP!) now that her facial injuries have healed up a bit.  the surveillance video indicates that her face slammed the T station wall pretty hard and it's not hard to believe her when she says she lost consciousness.  vicky is interviewing both her and her attorney chuck mathers.  in the background i can hear the beep of the brinks truck backing up for a big payout for this bank VP and chuck mathers esq.  upon settlement, she will become one of the boston's most desirable women and our subway fares will double.

victoria block - vicki's in lynn with the story of 30 year old anthony gobie (sp?).  anthony is charged with 15 charges of assault with intent to murder.  nice.  mr. gobie attempted to get served at the bar of the china lion restaurant in lynn but was denied for being too intoxicated.  mr. gobie's logical response was to return to the restaurant with an ak-47 and to open fire.  a ballsy customer prevented a bloodbath by grabbing the ak-47 while it was still being fired. (50 points).  in mr. gobie's defense - he claims that he was denied service because he was white.  (-35 points).
