Nice to know my instincts were right.
I was watching some of the CNN Katrina coverage this past weekend and turned it off because these two drove me nuts.

Honestly, my heart goes out to the people who have had to evacuate or have lost their homes or businesses. But this wasn't the Indian Ocean tsunami, and this coverage seriously irritates me.
Shouldn't journalists try to display some perspective, rather than wind people up into hysteria and panic?
LOUISIANA EVACUEES URGED TO STAY AWAY
'Total structural failure' reported in New Orleans
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana (CNN) -- Louisiana evacuees should stay away for at least a week to avoid 'a wilderness' without power or drinking water that will be infested with poisonous snakes and fire ants, state officials warned Monday.

This so perfectly tells you about what it's like to work in our office. Someone taped up the paper on the fridge at work last week, and the handwritten addition was there on Friday.

This is so, so very wrong.
A Comfort Pet is a pet urn or a stuffed animal pet urn in the likeness of your beloved deceased pet. It has a zippered pocket pet urn in it for you to place your pet's cremains (cremated remains)to use as a pet memorial urn. Rather than a hard wooden, plastic or ceramic box for a pet urn , dog urn or cat urn, a Comfort Pet is 'an urn alternative' that is soft and lovable.

Fun! Bid to have your name included in a novel.

Working in the web business, these types of stories give me stomach knots and anxiety attacks. *shudder*
After a weekend upgrade, Yahoo's search engine ad system first slowed to a crawl, and then went belly up on Monday, preventing marketers from making changes to their campaigns, accessing their accounts and, in many cases, even having their ads run at all. Yahoo support representatives are telling clients that they themselves can't access their accounts and have no idea when the problem - now in its third day - will be fixed.
