Thanks to all who joined my Twitter party last night.
One topic that stuck with me or should I say the way people responded to, was how morning news anchors talk about car crashes. Or even DJ's on the radio.
"4 car collision on the 10 West, you will want to avoid that like the plague. We've also got an overturned vehicle on Robertson, but they are getting that cleared up really fast. So don't worry LA, enjoy the beautiful weather we have out there!"
I can't watch or listen without being unable to get the irony.
These are people talking about people and they don't even humanize the situation. Would you talk about cancer victims this way?
Someone bitten by a shark this way?
I think of Elizabeth Banks character from "The Hunger Games" making these announcements. Only it's news anchors all over, every single morning.
Wake up news heads.
We need a mental shift to happen and you have to help humanize car crashes so people get that these are preventable and it's sad.
Not that is is an inconvenience.
