Current Affairs: January 2007 Archives

so, i was checking out the news, and i came across this headline.

this, by far, has to be one of the saddest errors of all.  a serious headline about the death of people and a really funny typo.

as thomas said, someone must have hit the enter button really fast at cnn today.

do you think the people who update the cnn.com website have a stressful job?  is someone going to get yelled at because of this?  is someone going to lose their job?

it makes me wonder because what if the person who messed this up has done this by accident a thousand times?  i mean, what if they keep track of it like they used to keep track of cashier errors at the store... remember the paperwork they used to have to fill out?

i wonder this, because when i make a typo, it usually involves some handout and i make a note and correct it for the next time, or it is because i forgot to hit spell check and you are not too offended by it.

but how serious is cnn about its headlines?  its cover page?  its lead story?
