If you have a problem with this story, please don't call 911

When you live in Beverly Hills, you expect the very best. So when the sound goes out on a cable TV channel, are you going to wait a few minutes to see what happens? Of course not. You are going to call ... 911.

That's not what the emergency line is meant for, of course. But that didn't keep Beverly Hills residents from calling in last week to complain when a televised public hearing on a large condominium project began without audio, reports Blog Beverly Hills.

"By the time audio was finally restored to the airwaves, many of those who had tried to tune in earlier had long since given up, which didn’t stop presiding Mayor Jimmy Delshad from pleading with residents frustrated about the lack of audio to please stop calling 911."

People do things that are laughable all the time, and in all areas or the country. Because this story takes place in Beverly Hills, and has a bias reporter, we then can understand who is jealous of one city (the reporter and all who laugh with her/ him). Cute story, but leave out Beverly Hills for a fair story.

A bias reporter?? OH PLEASE!! Do the rich have the poorest level of common sense that they actually thought 911 was the appropriate number to call in order to have the audio fixed?? They should have called someone else first, like...oh I don't know... the maid, the butler, the nanny, the gardener, their neighborhood security. What about the cable company???!!!
Wow, I know the rich feel their above the law but this is beyond retarded on their part!!!

Mr. Mehelich, I may be jealous of the city's location but not the residents’ intelligence!!!
