NBC 4 intrigued...and thrilled..and sad

One feature, so to speak, of the new KNBC website lets readers vote on what emotion they feel about news stories. Just so you know, on the tsunami news out of Samoa:

79% are sad
10% are intrigued
5% are laughing
3% are thrilled
3% are furious
0% are bored

A banner line also advises us that viewers are thrilled that there is a tsunami advisory along the coast here, and thrilled again about Nick Adenhart's Angels jersey "being doused in beer."
