Inherently a good thing, News Choppers have become a nadir of newscast technology. Which makes for a fun joke.
I am sure they are still relevant and provide much needed traffic updates and have cool de-fogging technology, but its 2012 already and most of the world doesn't care while the rest has ended.
So in order to gather my thoughts, let's pro and con this thing:
PRO: With so many news stations, it is now easy to get a used helicopter on the cheap.
CON: That isn't really a pro.
PRO: In smaller markets, if you have a helicopter, you are ahead of the competition.
CON: You are in smaller markets.
CON: I can't think of anything really the Simpsons haven't covered with Arnie Pie in the Sky. That's why I used his picture above. "You're not the time, Kent, you're not the time", other quotes.
PRO: Talking about the Simpsons.
CON: Helicopters create dust.
PRO: Helicopters crash spectacularly.
PRO: Like all News equipment, the Chopper is invaluable. It provides information other instruments can't and provides a dignity to a news station. As technology increases, the Chopper's role is being altered into more specific uses of live coverage while functioning as a strong tool for reporters.
CON: Helicopter pilots, despite being notoriously handsome, are prone to adventure. They are always trying to fill a void in their life by taking assignments to fly wealthy businessmen to the Amazon jungles or drag racing their helicopters vertically along tall buildings.
What did we learn? Ferver. Why did we learn? We will. When did how? Of.
