Why Screening is good

[Jacob]

Apparently this (http://www4.ncsu.edu/~smheath/news14.html) is what happens when a TV station allows you to submit public service messages without screening them.

I'm actually surprised it took this long for it to happen.

Link worked for me...

Its amazing that this made it through. I guess that station had something set up for people to type in there own cancellations over a website, and then they just run that data? I can't believe that someone at the station re-typed all of that into the CG and never noticed the content.

I think it was a web-form.

So basically companies(or anyone for that matter) goes to the form and submits information that would appear below that news.

It's quite a nifty idea that eliminates someone having to type in reports, but then again - it apparently does need a fact checker.

I liked the 1337 5p34k Linguistic Services announcement and the Tutone/Jenny announcement. ;)

I'm about to add a language warning to the original post, though. Just so people are forewarned.
