I had the same experience at the dentist months ago. It was the first time I had actually sat and watched the news for anything longer than a glance. They were really good at extending 5 to 6 minutes of content for damn near an hour.

Even better, is when they change topics, but go right back to it fifteen minutes later as if they didn't talk about it at all. Today was all about Brady and Deflategate. I couldn't believe how passionately the newscasters were talking about it. It was surreal.
