Today's Video Link

Here, from a local San Diego TV newscast is a myopic report on the Comic-Con International. The reporter went in with the premise that it's all about dressing up (mainly as Star Wars characters) and pretending to be one for four days. To achieve that, she had to ignore an awful lot of what she saw at the convention, including the 99+% who were not dressed as any fictional characters and especially not ones from Star Wars. When you hear/read a report that thinks it's all about geeks and nerds and dressing up as Princess Leia — which I personally haven't done in years — then you know someone didn't do a lot of actual reporting.
