A kicker, in newsroom parlance, is a quirky or funny little story to end the newscast on a bright note. After all, the entire newscast may have been all doom and gloom, death and destruction, or maybe just boring stuff. So the lineup editor hopes - prays - that someone cane whip up a little something that can get a chuckle or even a full belly laugh out of someone out there.
Sometimes, it's ironic humour. A bit of absurdity. Like this little thing that the so-called board of directors put out about moi - your truly. Yes, my name is peppered liberally throughout with warnings not to read that damn Dan David's Facebook pages because it's all lies etc etc. But everybody already knows what this bunch doesn't want folks to read. So it's not about anything I've published online. Nope. It's all about their refusing to acknowledge reality.
But about this community flyer... Did I take offence? No. Did I threaten to sue? Mais, non! Sacre bleu! I have a sense of humour, unlike those poor sods who cling so desperately to their idiotic notions of power. It is to laugh. ha ha
