I attended a going away party for a friend that was leaving the island (lucky girl) and I met some of her friends. One of the couples shared a story with me that someone broke into their home here on Guam and stole some household items but also stole meat from the freezer.
This same couple informed me that when the Superbowl is shown here on Guam, it is shown with local commercials. No fancy commercials like in the States. It wouldn't be so bad but the commercials here are a disaster.
The local news channels also leave something to be desired. I've seen college news stations with better anchors and better graphics. The news here is very 'boom goes the dynamite'-esque.
There has been a lot of trouble at the Department of Corrections here lately - some of the prison guards tested positive for crystal meth, there was a hole in the perimeter fence of the prison, and some prisoner escaped during a transport. Here's my question to the guy that escaped during transport - umm.. where are you going to go? You're on a 30 mile long island. Nice try.
Anyway, so the local news has this big to do last week about uncovering more unfavorable footage of the Department of Corrections. They do this big dramatic build up about having secret footage and what not. I'm thinking it's going to be a inmate getting tased or something of the like. No, no, no. It was secret footage of an inmate giving one of the prison guards a foot massage. Wow. Groundbreaking.
