Responses to Monday’s caption contest varied:
> “Batman, when we get off this wall, I’m going to eat you.”
> “Scaling tall buildings was much harder, Batman, with that producer hanging onto your heels.”
Of course, some people took the ratings angle:
> “Holy Nielsen, Batman! If we can’t destroy Diane and Charlie’s Ratings-a-tron Machine, our 18-49 demo is doomed!”
> “Today anchors Al Roker and Matt Lauer unsuccessfuly attempt to dispel the perception that beating GMA competition will be ‘an uphill climb.'”
Others poked fun at the Wilma coverage:
> “So, Matt…THIS is how you keep from falling down in a hurricane?”
> “No, you’re right, Matt. It’s NOT as stupid as that hurricane thing.”
> “No, I’m not going to hold your ankles for this, Al.”
My favorite response quoted Roker’s blog comments to critics last week:
> “Just because your medium is irrelevant when it comes to a breaking story…doesn’t mean you have to trash others who are out there covering it.”
