Rant

This morning, I was watching the weather forecast.  The weatherman spent a solid five minutes explaining how the heat outside was like a sauna or a steam room.  I'm not sure if the guy was new to broadcasting or just very bad at extemporizing, but he just kept repeating himself.  I couldn't help but wonder what it says about our society that we need nature explained to us in terms of technology.  I mean, surely there are more people in the viewing audience who have been outside in humid heat than people who have been inside a sauna?  Come on, this isn't Canada.
