The internet is NOT for porn...

I don't think this will come as a surprise to anyone reading this blog post right now, but the internet is kind of a time waster, right? Those of you that have jobs where you CAN'T go on the internet know what I'm talking about. It is remarkable how much work you get done in a day when you don't check twitter 48 times an hour. Or Facebook. That thing is a major time suck. I finally had to shut off the chat completely. I felt like I became way too accessible to anyone out in the world who WASN'T doing stuff, and needed to be entertained.

That is not Facebook's only flaw.

Unless the shocking secret to a flat belly is to eat MORE, I probably won't be shocked. 

If you were to go on Jeopardy, and the Final Jeopardy question was something like "This Cook/TV personality uses her signature 'Yum-O' to describe her dishes when she tries them," and you answered with the above spelling, you'd be going home empty handed. I'm pretty sure Alex would hold this spelling against you. I can't even get google to give me another person with this spelling. It automatically changes the search to "RachAEl Ray," since that's correct. So, once again, all this person had to do was plug that name into google. Because, let me assure you, famous people do NOT love it when you spell their names wrong.

In the same vein is this error, which I spotted while watching the news a few days ago. Exact same problem, different word.

I am intrigued by this being the place where Madonna started her world tour. 

This doesn't require a lot of explanation. Israel is spelled wrong. This is a station that has multiple news broadcasts during the day, so this story had probably already run a couple of times, and no one bothered to check that lower third, or make any fixes to it. There are probably all of 4 people working at this station anymore, with all the extensive cutbacks in local news, so it's hard. I get it. But, well, now you're the station that spelled something simple like Israel wrong. So, that probably sucks a little. It's not like Israel isn't often in the news or anything.

The moral of the story is that for all its flaws, the internet just wants you to look smart. And occupied when you're in front of a restaurant, waiting for your friends.
