Dave’s News Curse
Dave Is Experiencing a News Curse
Admittedly, the show isn’t full of happy stories every single day. Usually though, we preface a sad or tragic story with a dark-sided warning. As of late, it seems like a majority of the news stories that Dave chooses have surprise tragedy in them. We believe that Dave has a news curse.
It all started with a story about a bus passenger that leaped into action and saved a bus after the driver suffered a medical emergency. According to reports from KOAA5, a bus driver in Colorado Springs suffered a medical emergency behind the wheel and a passenger was able to safely stop the bus before it crashed. It was supposed to be an uplifting story of a badass individual, but we find out later that the bus driver didn’t survive.
Then, we were hit by our second surprise tragedy. According to WFAA, a man was ticketed during a test drive because the dealership failed to put a license plate on the vehicle he was driving. The story seems rather tame, explaining what happened to the man and how it may be remedied. Then, right as the story is about to end, we find out that he man recently lost his son. Unintentional dark-sided news story #2 of the segment.
We continue to soldier on and keep reporting. And, we never would have imagined this next story had a dark-sided twist to it, but ultimately, it did. According to reports from 13ABC, a random woman destroyed Halloween decorations at a home in Toledo. The video of the woman during her rampage is rather humorous and we think it’s just a funny tale. But then, the homeowner reveals that she’s very sad because the decorations were made by her son, who recently died in a motorcycle accident.
It’s pretty obvious to see why we all think Dave has a news curse. None of these stories were meant to be dark-sided and they just kept ending up in tragedy. Will the curse be broken tomorrow? Only time will tell.
