I'm pretty sure that among the many faults of local television news, the heavy reliance on weather forecasts to entice viewers to watch is pretty pathetic. I live in Portland. It rains, followed by sunbreaks, then more rain. If I lived in Kansas or somewhere that the weather forecast is important to the safety of people and property, I'd watch the weather forecasts every day.

But again, this is Portland. I can't imagine anyone here giving a shit about the weather. They must, though. They must care. But why? It doesn't affect what most people in Portland do on a daily basis, which is go to strip clubs and drink overpriced beer. Portland, OR has more strip clubs per capita than anywhere else in the country. Local news should set aside that bullshit weather forecast and give a rundown on which stripper is dancing where, which stripper has the best coke, where the drink specials are, the two for one couch dances, etc. Let's give Portland news it can use!
