cnn.














i love poor editing.  especially when i can catch it online. i know ridiculous.  but still there's something sweet about finding a big misprint, typo, or just stupid error on cnn.com.  take the first picture.  if you'll read the third paragraph, you'll see that cnn refers to the final primaries in south dakota and michigan.  michigan?  really?  i think it was montana, cnn.  michigan if you'll recall held their primary months ago and the votes didn't count.  much to hillary's chagrin.  the second picture is just a typo in the developing story line.  seriously?  do people get paid for these errors?  after working in the marketing industry for years, i know the importance of catching these typos.  

while i did not work on this project, i find it terribly funny.  take the example of a 529 college savings plan mailing that was sent to parents of small children.  included your basic 1-800 response number.  unfortunately that number was for porn.  i still find that humorous.
