There's no denying the love I've always harbored for "Good Day Philadelphia," but what's amazing about the spectacle aired every morning on Fox-29 is that it truly has the amazing ability to turn the agitated into complete psychotics, to which I'm so proud to introduce ya'll to Weights Down, an amazing site that seems to predate the use of a blog, without any indication that the creator has moved on up the technological highway.
To wit, the site is full of wondrous rage, but none aimed with as much pinpoint accuracy as his musings on the "Good Day" team. His cold hand of vengeance smacks down the likes of Mallay, Frederick, and Zappala (I think this had to have been written in or around '04), but the fact that he feels for Steve Keeley is the god damn icing on the cake:
Here he is, the serial killer-to-be himself, Steve Keeley...Behind the bad toupee is the heart of a guy that desperately seeks vengeance on his tormentors, the three bourgeois fucks behind the desk in the comfort of their bunker-I mean-studio. He flies around in his helicopter all morning listening to Janet Zappala call him gay while the other two sheep laugh along. Take a look at the expression on his face. Look at his evil cold, dead stare, the forced half-smile (which looks much more like a smirk to me because he knows that he will one day dismember them and eat their flesh), and, once again, the bad toupee...he flies around all day in his helicopter, looking at traffic jams, emotionlessly rattling off traffic tips, and silently plotting his revenge. One day, I swear, he will nosedive that motherfucker right into the studio like a kamikaze superstar. It's only a matter of time. I'm actually routing for the guy, too. If I were him, having to listen to people talking shit on me five hours a day, five days a week, I'd want to drink their blood too.
Man, I really hope Weights Down didn't self-implode, negating himself into a quickly dissipating cloud of negative energy. But if he did...what a way to go.
I remember when I first saw this about a year ago. It really never gets old the more I re-read it. I guess it has a somewhat small audience of the Philly media obsessed, but still, I wish he had done another one. Maybe I'll get him do one for my site... but then KLH and Jen Fred might get upset. Hmm.

Also: You can tell the site is old when it has a WEBRING. I think I was in one of those when I had a site in seventh grade.
