Britney Spears Stumbles, Nearly Drops Baby - Yahoo! News
Other possible headlines we’ll never see:
Woman Swerves on Freeway, Nearly Hits Barrier While Driving With Four Children in Car
Drunken Man Almost Hits Two Telephone Poles, Fourteen Cars, Fire Hydrant, Dog Walker with Schnauzer, Poodle and Dalmatian (plus An Assortment of Mutts), and One Child - But He Made It Home Okay
Woman Trips On Stairs While Wearing Heels and Nearly Falls on Child
Of course, they reported because IT’S BRITNEY OMG! and while I don’t care much for the ditzy tartlet, it bothers me that she isn’t afforded the luxury of being human. Because things ALMOST happen all the time - I see them everywhere. I’ve had more near misses on the road than I’ve had accidents, and seen more of them as well. I’ve seen more near-tragedies with kids lately because I’ve had more exposure to them - the clinic shares a building with a medical office, a dentist, and a charter school. It happens. So reporters go away and come back when something really is news, and not ALMOST news.
