I'm doing my late night surfing a Wikipedia. And happen to stumble across this unacceptable entry found under KOMO-TV. The entry has already been changed. I too must say this was way out of line.

-------------------------

The comment left by the user who changed the artice....

Who in the hell added that dribble about Natasha Curry?! I'm removing it(for strongly violating NPOV), in the hopes it never reappears on Wikipedia ever again!

The poorly written comments that should have never been entered.....

Co-anchor Natasha Curry was infamously known at Puyallup High School for being a significant alum, and as such was asked by then principle Dr. Joyner to make a speech during the commencement ceremony for the graduating class of 2007. Much to everyone's surprise gathered at said commencement ceremony, without the aid of a teleprompter and in front of roughly 15,000 students, parents, and various attendees Natasha Curry proceeded to ramble incoherently something that did not from any point of view even remotely resemble an inspirational speech (let alone an intelligent thought). Famous (albeit rough as most try now to suppress this memory) quotes include: "Buy yourself a nice suit, you'll never know when you'll be on TV," and "I was a fat kid when I was young, but look at me now!" also one must recall "It's a good thing I remembered to wake up today." Throughout the seemingly infinitesimally moronic speech many (if not all) of the students came to the realization that the prestige and honor one thought they could take from graduating from Puyallup High School was utterly and totally non-existent. Thus, within the course of about 45 minutes of moronic, naive, and childish babbling Natasha Curry managed to ruin the reputation of not only a once well respected high school, but the entire graduating class.

principle?

infinitesimally moronic? Doesn't that mean just-a-tiny-bit moronic?

I like their argument, they have a "common law" claim. There is a reason we have copyrights, and patents etc. You got to do the paperwork.
