Response to "Louisville scouts have extra special sales pitch when selling popcorn"

I personally found this story kind of humorous. While seeing this on the news I often thought, why am I seeing this? It's not newsworthy at all, and it's just telling the story of two boys who made it onto the face of the boy scouts popcorn box. The story took up about three-fourths of the block, and in my opinion that is way too much time to be seeing two twin brothers and their mother talk about how they were selected to be on a boy scout popcorn box. I know this was a human interest story, but it was way too long and drawn out. I know that it is interesting that two local boys got on the national boy scout popcorn box but it often felt like I was just listening to a mother show excessive pride in her kids. This story, like many others on this news station, took the place of more newsworthy material. There were many sections of the package that just took up time and did not add significance to the story. One of these moments was when there was close to 45 seconds of footage of the twins jumping on a trampoline and about 20 of those seconds had a voiceover clip.
