At what point do we stop reporting news?

Do you ever read news articles and wonder why on earth they were written? Apparently, there isn't enough normal news (murders, kidnappings, wars) going on in Philadelphia. Can you imagine being the reporter assigned this story. Editor, trying hard to keep his face straight, "Umm, let's see, Randy, I want you to cover the breaking story 'Harriest Back at the Ballpark'. Yeah, some new developments over there. Go undercover if you need to."

You definitely know your worth to the station by the stories you're asked to cover. Check out this crazy story:
