REAL TWEETS FROM REAL PEOPLE: THE STANLEY CUP FINAL:
http://www.awfulannouncing.com/2013/june/real-tweets-from-real-people-the-stanley-cup-final.html
Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Blackhawks and Bruins last
night was, in a word, awesome. Three overtimes, skilled play, and
drama by the bucketload made for one of the most entertaining hockey
games in recent memory.
However, there were some people who weren't exactly thrilled with the
game. There were plenty of viewers who were more than upset that the
long NHL game was delaying their viewing of Jay Leno and Jimmy Fallon.
The overreactions and complete ignorance to the situation was a site
to behold. As always, these are Real Tweets from Real People...

hockey game is in double overtime *government conspiracy* — Farah

The Jimmy Fallon fans were juuuuuuuuuust a bit angrier than Leno
fans...
And then, there were the people that exemplified the phrase "first
world problems" when their affiliates went to local news instead of
immediately airing Fallon...
And finally, some people just don't understand how television rights
really work...

lot of airplay on 670AM, The Score, in Chicago. A Texas woman
called in complaint to her local TV station because they were
pre-empting the season finale of "Criminal Minds" to broadcast a
tornado warning. She went on a meltdown tirade that was left on
voice mail and has been broadcast around the country and is
available on the Internet (
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/26/crazy-criminal-minds-fan_n_590410.html
). So that some people got upset because they didn't get to see
Leno or Fallon because of a hockey game doesn't surprise me one
little bit.
