News 14 Carolina TV station idea backfires

lol, this is awesome They could have done SO many worse things than what they submitted

There was a snowstorm in Raleigh, and all the news channels posted the businesses and schools that would be closed the next day. One of these fine news organizations, Time Warner Cable's News 14 Carolina, chose the most convenient but least secure method to allow businesses to report closings: the Internet. Well, it wasn't long before members of The Wolf Web, an NCSU message board, exposed this flaw. They went crazy, as you're about to see. The best part of the whole thing was once a closing was accepted, it could be edited on the Internet and would go straight to TV without having to be reviewed again, so a fake closing that seemed plausible the first time it was shown could be outrageous the next time.

, I hope they learned a valuable lesson here... reminds me of the time the group 'Five Star' were on Saturday morning children's TV in the 80's ("Saturday Superstore", I think), and they had a live phone-in Q&A session with the great British public... that was the last time that ever happened (not without a 5-second delay anyway )...

The R.Kelly one was funny. The rest were average.

 

[Matrixhasu77]

It just goes to show that information access should be carefully guarded in a situation like that...

 

[Jondot]

The windows one is the best !!!

 

[Impreza04]

The windows and All your base belong to us are the best

 

[Blackbird.]
