Too Many Selfies Mean Jail Time; Heather Holmes KTVU Diva Doesn't Impress The Bosses; Frank Somerville is Larger Than Mere Anchor; Darya: 'I'm Bigger than Radnich'; Happy Earth Day

 BAN THE SELFIES. Limit the Selfies.

It's Out of Control. People taking pictures of themselves. News people, or maybe, more appropriately, alleged news people taking pictures of themselves. They should know better.

I have an idea.

Have a rule: News/Sports/Weather people have a "selfie" limit. Allow 4 shots of themselves a month. That's it. Go over it. And then face imprisonment at the county jail.

Stop the selfies.

*It's bad enough that KTVU staffers are placed under a system-wide gag order (implemented by gestapo tactics, courtesy Fox) worse yet, if someone speaks up, they have to watch "The 4".

*Heather Homes: Not impressed by your bitchy, diva status, HH. It appears your heavy-handed tactics are not appreciated by the Jack London Square suits. Maybe years ago when you told management (pre-Fox) that if you weren't considered more star status, you'd be splitting back east.

Two things say you should have taken Hartford over Oakland.

One, more money. Two: You could have avoided Mike Mibach. Slightly less irritating that Mother Teresa, uh, excuse me, Frank Somerville.

Frank could have been a mere newsreader in his life; pity the civilians, Frank instead had a midlife crisis and decided to preach to his amen corner; housewifes in suburbia that bow to Frank's daily missives on that cyber church, Facebook.

Frank cares about you. Frank wants to inspire you. If you're not inspired then we have a problem. How do I know? I have an inner channel with Frank because he inspired me, Little did we know that Frank had a higher calling than mere teleprompter-reading.

Frank cares about the world.

*Dear Darya: is it true that you told a KRON staffer you're "bigger that Radnich?" Funny, I thought you and King Bentley were a combo deal.

  1. Fabulous post. The problem with social media is it gives people a chance to inflate their self-worth or deflate those of other people.

    Heather Holmes should take her snot somewhere else. Like Fargo, North Dakota.

    Nice photo of the Princess. What a beeatch. She must be a real peach at home, right Aaron boy?

  2. end of dubs game ,roye said to Tolbert, ''your gonna get some snacks'', no Tolbert said, ''no ,no snacks, i'm gonna get a beer!''...he actually said the stereotype thing, and you thought you might be exaggerating a bit about his beer thing.

    1. Get a life...so Tolbert likes beer, so what.

    2. I'll say it: Tolbert's act is tired. He is stale. When you don't grow and try to improve you become repetitious mediocrity.

  3. Poor Heather - I hear the real reason her purse was stolen from the news van awhile back was she dissed a guy who liked her with her bitchy ways and so he lifted her purse in the best Oaklander style to get even...

    Meeting eligible women in our "new" San Francisco is difficult. The attractive are bitchy - the bitchy become unattractive...

    We may have lost Prince but we won't run short of princesses anytime soon.

  4. Hey Rich, the world is changing. It always has. Put on your big boy pants and get over it.

    1. Celia, something stanks. Check your drawers for corn.

    2. Yo, Celia. The world sometimes changes for the bad. Let me guess, you must be employed by one of those media places. You had to move to Concord because you can't afford to live in San Francisco. You're barely making it in Concord only because you live with four roommates and you're trying to save money because you work for a bunch of cheap bastards who'll never pay you good money. Tell you what honey, become a greeter at Wal-Mart on the weekends. You can't afford to do anything else anyway except rent DVDs at 7-11 while you're getting Mountain Dew on special.

    1. Heather Holmes is not all that. Claudine Wong is the foxiest female at KTVU.

    2. Wong, I'll pass.

  7. Who is that guy in front of the world according to Gary graphic?

    He looks tough, muscular. Into heavy metal music.

  8. I notice that lately you've been saying less and less about radio folks in your columns. Perhaps it's because so many of them are now out of work since companies such as Cumulus have 'consolidated' and put so many radio broadcasters out of work!

    1. I'll pitch in. On the radio front, Cumulus Media (CMLS) closed the week at 0.42..."zero-point-four-two", if you saw Animal House. Anyway, delisting day is about a month away. They have to close above $1 for ten consecutive days to stave it off. They'll never make that requirement.

      Delete
    2. BREAKING NEWS: The Pink Sheets have reserved a special symbol for Cumulus Media. It's CMSLW. The buzzards are swirling, and the dead-date is even earlier than I had thought, it's in May. The only thing that can keep them from the crypt is a reverse split of some kind.

      MORE BREAKING NEWS:...never mind. It's gone now, just gas.

  10. I am not a fan of selfies but the picture of Rosemary O. at Lake Merritt she posted on Twitter is the exception (it looks more like a photo than a selfie.).

  11. Hey Rich, whats your take on that waste of time and space cory and joel show? Two hours of nasal lisps and meaningless banter. How long do ya give them??

    1. I'm not Rich but I'll give you the answer. Cory & Joel are going nowhere since Cory is Talk910's program director.

  12. Darya can buy even bigger implants, but it still won't improve that face. Ugh!
