7 News Alliteration Madness!

Someone over at Channel 7 seriously needs to drop the thesaurus or get a new one.

Has anyone else noticed how annoying their alliteration is when they are titling these stories? Especially when there's big news, the graphics people go nuts with alliterating everything. During one newscast we counted at least 7 different alliterations, and this was just one one storm report.

With all the crazy weather we're having at the moment, I think we should place our bets on what the alliterations will be tonight. Here are a few that I've thought of:

Wild Weather
Super Storm
Windy Wilma
Scituate Swamped (or Socked, or Soaked)
Flooding Fears
Traffic Trauma
Trailer Trouble (for the story on the truck that turned over on the Bourne Bridge)
Weather Woes

See how easy (and annoying) it is?
