A sad story, as it involves two high school students getting shot (neither seriously) in front of their school, but how's that for some fine reporting?

"According to authorities, a 17-year-old male was shot in the thigh and an 18-year-old female was shot in the butt at about 8:30 a.m. Wednesday. Both are students at the school."

1. In the olden days, they would have said

"in the posterior" or somesuch.

Then NYPD Blue had to come along and ruin Amurika's morals.

Damn you Stephen Bochco!

2. Shot in the butt!

And you're to blame!

You give news a bad name. (Bad name.)

3. You suck

I'll never be able to hear that song again without thinking of this.

Just like someone ruined Thunder Road for me with the alternate lyric "like a vision she dances across the porch as the dog doo blazes". Asshole.
