Offbeat: Google News run by computer with juvenile sense of humor

  • “Jack Meoff” ≠ Jake Tapper. The other day, the poor ABC News political reporter got mis-bylined by the computer-driven service, instead calling Tapper by his real name. The article was about some topic we don’t care about, but the second we realized it got turned into a childish prank, we immediately showed interest. Good show, Google News, getting regular people like us interested in the news. source

Offbeat: Pranking Christians: Funny because they don’t know pop culture!

Jesus, you guys need to start watching a wider variety of secular TV. Those are blatantly obvious.
