Pointless news story of the day

Posted on October 23, 2009 by PolicyFrog

CBC News reports the majority of Winnipeg’s City Councillors will get the H1N1 vaccine when it becomes available. The Mayor is still unsure.

?

Given that the City doesn’t play any official role in the H1N1 battle, and has absolutely nothing to do with the vaccination process, I have to wonder about the completely random nature of this story. It’s like a slightly more timely version of “What’s your favourite colour?”

    I read a similar story recently on what kind of vehicle each city councillor drives. I found that to be a bit more interesting, but just as pointless.

    If you look hard enough I’m sure there were a few other pointless news stories generated today ;-)
