Jelly Bracelets on Broadcast News

(Cleveland, Ohio) Exactly one month ago, a story about jelly bracelets, or snap bracelets, was posted on this site which described the phenomenon. The bracelets are alleged to carry sexual meaning and have been banned in schools in several locations.

Today, local broadcast television news from Cleveland (Fox8 News) reported the story of jelly bracelets, many weeks after it's been chewed on and spit out by the blogosphere. It never fails, when broadcast news programs cover a story, it's usually old news. A person can almost accurately mark their calendar. If it's high profile story, broadcasters will be a week late. Anything else, give it a month or more.
