News 14 Carolina should’ve known better

(Been sitting on this link for a while, just haven’t had a chance to post it, so ignore the fact that everybody and their dog has probably already posted it). News 14 Carolina should have known better. They made the mistake of using an automated system for that posted school and business closure information across the bottom of the screen. Thanks to some pranksters on the WolfWeb board, hilarious information started to appear across the bottom of the screen. Some of the closures: “Tutone Inc., Closed Thursday and Friday, Call Jenni at 867-5309”, “Cecil’s Cockring emporium, Back up Tomorrow”, “Bring ’em Young Daycare, Closed Friday, Contact R. Kelly for details” and “Windows 32 Exception Error, if this is the first time you’re seeing this, please reinstall Windows.”

There are a few sites with screen-shots of the mess here, here, and here. Full story on the mess here and here.

But really, when they let things run unmoderated, they get what they deserve.
