I was watching the morning news on a local New York City channel when I heard the skirl of bagpipes. I looked up to see some rather nice step dancing, and an appalling headline. "Men in Skirts?". While all my friends were laughing I got a bit upset. Not horribly, but a bit upset.

When I called the station to clarify the situation, Kilts not skirts, I was treated quite dismissively by the rep I finally got on the phone. I was told "Allrighty Guy, allrighty....yeah we'll get on that"

I am less upset at the skirt comment (although it is not how my kilted brethren should be identified) but more upset at the way the station handled the situation.

I don’t really need to push the issue too far, but I do want to talk to the guys supervisor; if nothing else to let him know that being a telephone tough-guy is not always the best thing, even before eight in the morning.

Thoughts?
