An
old guy, really old, well over 80 years old, did a parachute
jump to publicize something or other, yesterday.
We
won't be publishing the name of the old guy because there
is nothing newsworthy about this story other than who he
is.
And,
is it just us, or does an 83 year old doing a parachute
jump sound a bit like something Greenpeace would do to publicize
something?
We
feel sure he wouldn't have approved much about that sort
of thing in his 'youth'.
We
won't be naming the thing he did the parachute jump to publicize
either because that would be giving the old gipper free
publicity and we are sure that, being him, he would want
to pay us to advertise what he was publicizing.
It's
not like he doesn't have any money.
The
old guy didn't even as much as twist his ankle when he landed,
which is good for him, just it makes for a pretty dull news
story.
So
there's not much newsworthy about this, other than he was
an old guy and he did a parachute jump and yet this story
was reported internationally.
