CELL PHONE ATTACKS: TELEPHOBIA STRIKES!

2009-12-15T20:31:00.000-08:00

Have you, or a loved one, ever feared a phone call?

Tonight, our report shows that a fear of phones, otherwise known as Telephobia, has been a major problem for the friend's of Mr. Young.

Self reporting investigates

:

Thank you, Anchor.

Now...before we continue, we've been asked not to reveal the identity of these individuals. Some of these people are still struggling with their phobia and wishes not to be public.

Now, what's interesting here is that they were all given the opportunity to receive state-of-the-art therapy by a local Doctor, Dr. Spaceman.

Not only were we able to ask these people to participate, but also record what happens.

It may seem promising, but what our audience may not be able to guess is what happens next. Bad banana phone etiquette.

After eating some Ramen at the Little Tokyo district the patients decided to carpool together. Here is the conversation that followed:

(Time - 1:01)

(Listen to Telephobes Fight)

When Dr. Spaceman was asked about the matter, he responded:

Back to to you Anchor.

Thank you Self-Reporting.

To date, Dr. Spacemen has still not been
able to create a therapy that cures both Telephobia and bad banana phone etiquette.

That's all for tonight. For more information on Telephobes, you can Add us on Facebook and check out our extra interview, plus photos of our investigation.

Thank you for visiting.

Till next time...
Goodnight .

TRAFFIC DANCE: Sweeping the Nation

2009-12-01T13:24:00.000-08:00

You've heard of the Rain Dance, but have you heard of the TRAFFIC DANCE?

This new ritual is steadily gaining followers.

But first...

Irish law makers pass a new law, affecting business owners.

Our new corespondent, Reporter, explains on the scene.

Top' o the morning. I'm Reporter.

Irish authorities have passed a law, restricting alcohol consumption. Police are making efforts to crack down on D.U.I's - lowering the blood alcohol content level to .40.

Although this may be severely affecting drivers, business owners are being hit the hardest.

(listen to interview)

Now...my understanding is, this is Ireland's first time, passing this kind of law?

Yes...this all started with a group called I.M.A.D.D. Irish Mothers Against Drunk Driving. They were, once, prominent in leading anti-drunk driving campaigns, until they discovered 50% of the accidents were caused by their own members...

Back to you Anchor.

Thanks, Reporter.

Traffic has been significantly increasing, for the past few decades. City Planning officials claim they're doing their best, to clear California's highway congestion. However, Mr. Young and Mr. Evans are starting to believe,they have the power to clear traffic.

Our investigation team managed to discover some shocking footage, of Young and Evans, in broad daylight.

Here...Evans believes that swinging his iPhone, will create a mobile reception-vortex; required to pray to the traffic gods. Once the gods pay attention, he will be required to tithe 10% of his text-messages, into a mailing envelope; the contents will then be labeled in its amount and submitted to the IRS for a tax write-off. Is there anything an iPhone can't do?

This dance has a name: Fan on Bay Carriage.

We have confirmed, it is still considered a TRAFFIC DANCE, despite its odd emphasis on the breaking the Sanctity of your left hand and your recliner.

Young is hopeful to believe, Right hands will be recognized, once the proposition to demolish Highway 8 completes in, possible, 2010.

One of our investigators...managed to talk to a Traffic Dancer. We asked what makes them believe in traffic gods.

Young responded by looking into Evan's iPhone, and searching for passages about Apple,

"...and on the 17th day, Steve Jobs created...iPhone."

For more information about Traffic Dancers, keep updates from our website.

This ends our segment, for the evening.
Thank you, and good night.

TWIGHLIGHT SAGA: NEW MOON PROVES MYSTERY TO OUTSIDERS

2009-11-20T15:47:00.000-08:00

Good evening, I'm Special Guest Anchor - filling in, tonight.

Analysts say, that No-Loitering signs need to be placed where teenagers congregate, and not where adults are in a place of guilt n' glutton.

Self Reporting, explains, on the Scene

Thank you, Special Guest Anchor

I'm here at the forefront of a massive collection of Disney princess blankets and pajamas. Outsiders are confused at the sight; most are unsure why so many Teenage Girls are gathering.

After composing a series of questions, our team decided to investigate:

Here, we see the beginning of the high-teenage population. After making safe eye-contact, we were given permission to walk through, amongst the young crowd; unharmed

and the line continues.....

and continues...

After several half-minutes of walking, we finally came to an end.

A posted sign says: Twilight Saga: New Moon

and....this just in.

I've just been told that today, is in fact, the last day of the New Moon of the month of November.

Mysterey solved! Back to you Special Guest Anchor.

For those you just tuning in, we've just solved the mystery of Twilight Saga: Moon. It's a weather forecast.

Continuing our story...

No-Loitering signs placed in the back of an El Pollo Loco, makes guilt n' glutton filled individuals feel bad.

So please, we're urging community developers to stop this heinous act.

Thank you and Good night.

SHOOTING: Man SHOT in Downtown Santa Ana

2009-11-13T22:38:00.000-08:00

Good Evening, This is Reporting Life...and I'm Anchor.

Tonight, the citizens of Santa Ana are praying for a miracle. After 12 shots to his entire body, Senor Cervantes is in critical mundane-condition.

Self Reporting is on the scene.

:

Thank you, Anchor.

I'm standing next to Senor Cervantes right now and...well, he seems pretty shaken.

Now, after collaborating with some city officials, we did manage to get some footage of what actually happened. Even some footage of the shooter's perspective.

After some consideration, Senor Cervantes has finally agreed to explain, as what we are just about to watch. But before we continue, I must WARN our viewers; the following scene may become too graphic.

Tell me... in your words... what happened?

"I was right here. Just doing my thing, on my way to get some Levis and leather boots...

Just down this alley.

Oh, wait..I was also txting my friend, cuz' he said he'd hook me up.

Yeah...this is when...

this is the part, I was txting my friend.

Then all of a sudden...

BAM *click*

BAM *click*

BAM BAM BAM!..."

And what was going through your mind, when this was all happening?

"One more year...! Just one more year of life, PLEASE!"

Did you ever think you'd be a victim, like this?

"Yeah...I actually did, but I know what's up, here in my Santana."

Thank you Senor Cervantes.
Back to you, Anchor.

Thank you, Self Reporting.

Eye witnesses say it looked to be an SLR Camera, used in the shooting.

Police are speculating the weapon used had to been work of a Rebel...,Canon, and someone with a troubled past.

Authorities are unsure, who the assailant, or where-about he or she is. However, we are releasing a composite sketch.

If you see this SHOOTER...

We urge you not engage this person. Repeat: DO NOT ENGAGE THIS PERSON.
They can still be armed, possibly with flash.

Thank you, and that's it's for tonight.

A troubled past of fame.

Near DEATH caused by boredom

2009-11-07T10:40:00.000-08:00

Can boredom really cause Death?

Our studies show, this is entirely false.
So, as most, may beg to differ... one man doesn't.

Self Reporting, explains.

Thank you, Anchor.

What we see, here, may seem like an ordinary library, but to Mr. Young - it was the electric chair.

"I was shocked!," Jyu (age 26).

It all starts when, Mr. Young entered the building.

"Yeah, you know...when you drag your feet on the carpet? That kind of shock. " Mr. Young accounts

But that's when our team knew, something more had to be explained.

"Okay, okay. So I sat down on that chair, right there...over, over there. And I don't know what it was. I just couldn't stop yawning. Pretty soon, the whole room was yawning with me, and only when I did. I felt like HE-MAN, I HAVE THE POWER! You know? And then, I got so bored, I almost died."

Now, I'd like to zoom in on my background, here, for a little bit. If you look carefully, you can see the actual chair Mr. Young was talking about. It's still not certain, how dangerous this chair is. However, the event seems to have affected no one, here.

When library officials were asked, ALL the librarians asked us to be quiet.

Back to you Anchor

Thank you, Self Reporting.

That's it for tonight's report.

Car is "TOTALLY" TP-ed

2009-11-05T10:51:00.000-08:00

Mundane activities have been on the rise, in Orange County, as the recent expedition of Kinko's FedEx proved to be a spectacle. The event occurred, when Jyu Young Lee was heading out to scan some documents. However, upon arrival, something perked his interests

Self reporting explains, on the scene.

:

Behind me is, what appears to be, a totally TP-ed car. It's parked right in front of Loosey's, next to FedEx Kinkos. Imagination reports, the owner might be a type of Big-O-Jerk (level 5).

"It's not ordinary work...these guys..or whoever did it. They planned it out and now must be laughing...really hard," Imagination says.

The owner has yet to arrive and it is certain, this was a professional TP job.

Meanwhile...nearby authorities seemed preoccupied - as two police vehicles were pulling over a single man and handcuffing him. It is reported that a third vehicle was arriving, as the FedEx Kinkos expedition was leaving the site.

Back to you Anchor.

:

Thank you, Self Reporting.

In further development, the Kinkos FedEx expedition was delayed, due to a miscalculation in missing documents. Experts claim, its due to bad memory.

When asked, about the situation,

I replied,  "I shall go to AMPM and get some gas and nachos...and maybe Tic Tacs"

Later, that day, the FedEx Kinkos expedition was completed, without further delays.

This is been a broadcast of This is Reporting Life, thank you for watching and goodnight.
