Of all the people to be wary of getting caught on camera doing something incredulous, you would think a TV news reporter would know better. But Britt McHenry, a Washington D.C.-based sports reporter for ESPN, has been suspended from her position after an ugly and offensive rant she unleashed on a hapless tow truck company employee surfaced online this week. The 28-year-old, who hails from New Jersey, had her car towed from the parking lot of a Chinese restaurant in Arlington, Virginia, and the verbal attack was captured on a security camera as she paid to pick the vehicle up at the tow lot office. "I’m in the news, sweetheart, I will f-----g sue this place," McHenry can he heard saying in the video. . . .
The parking attendant can be heard in the video warning McHenry she is being filmed and threatens to "play your video". "That’s why I have a degree and you don't - I wouldn't work in a scumbag place like this," McHenry responds. "Makes my skin crawl even being here." The parking attendant patiently replies: "Well lets get you out of here quickly." McHenry then fires back: "Yep, that's all you care about - taking people's money . . . with no education, no skill set. Just wanted to clarify that."Who does this mortal think she is? After all, the goddess appears on television; is viewed by millions of people; explains the intricate workings of adults who play games; has a degree and is therefore "educated"; and gets paid obscene amounts of money to wear makeup and read a teleprompter. So much material success, and yet this goddess lacks something that makes the mortal infinitely superior -- a soul.
BTW, notice how the news story mocks the reporterette for getting caught, not for acting like a pre-Christian.
