1. MSM = stupidity

[Adenoid_Hynkel]

2. My heart goes out to Buzz Aldrin and the rest of Crazy Horse

3. Has anyone informed Neil Young yet?

First that he walked on the moon...


and then when he gets done laughing... that sadly he is dead.

Great Monty Python sketch in there somewhere.

[Wilms]

13. Ya think???

[hlthe2b]

15. LOL

Back to his coke days.... (love me some Neil Young, don't get me wrong, but if you ever saw him perform in THE LAST WALTZ, you'd know to what I refer)

[LongTomH]

4. My God, what are the journalism schools turning out these days?

No wonder news coverage is so totally fucked!!!!!

[Earth_First]

6. Exactly.

Fuckin' ridiculous!

[Skittles]

26. it is outsourced

[beac]

5. "Old man take a look at my life I'm a lot like you"

I don't think that's what those lyrics meant, NBC.

[spanone]

7. our media works hard to get it exactly wrong

[Tom Ripley]

8. "Walk On"

[Blecht]

9. K and R

The K so others can laugh as much as I did.

[Cerridwen]

10. Oh, wow. From Jefferson Starship's

Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Armstrong.

Oy.

[tritsofme]

11. Only if it was a Harvest Moon...

[WinkyDink]

12. Yikes! (That was hard to catch!)

[The Doctor.]

14. He didn't even look a day over 66.

Shame really.

I'm not terribly surprised he beat the space program to the Moon, though. He would have been about 20 at the time and into some really good shit.

16. Everybody knows copy editors and proofreaders are nowhere.

[Nedsdag]

21. Exactly!

Due to downsizing, no one is going to hire additional copy editors and proofreaders, especially for weekend work.

One time I read a New York Times movie review and I found this sentence:

"She is the queen and she is loosing."

[Chorophyll]

25. Argh. In the Times?

I spent a year teaching writing to college freshmen and every single one of them made that mistake. (Also "breath" instead of "breathe.&quot This is the stuff spellcheck cannot fix. You need a human, dammit.

[Nedsdag]

29. I teach Comp I and II at a local CC.

We go over proofreading on the first day of class.

I tell them they have access to two spell checks: the one in the computer and the one in their head. If they are unsure of the spelling of a word, LOOK IT UP IN THE DICTIONARY!!!!

Lose/loose is discussed as well.

[Chorophyll]

30. Look it up in the what now?

I'm gonna totally loose it. I can't even breath! (sic!)

[Skittles]

27. they have been outsourced

[Arctic Dave]

17. When I mentioned Neil Armstrongs passing at lunch today, one of the guys said,

"the cyclist?".



Some peoples children...

[WillyT]

18. Saw Something On A T-Shirt The Other Day... Gotta Admit... I Read It Wrong... Twice...

Eye think our brains try to race ahead of themselves sometimes.





And... I read the OP wrong as well.

[CrispyQ]

33. Harr! I love that!

I read it wrong, too!

[PD Turk]

19. Hmm

Must've been a 'Harvest' moon

[Nedsdag]

20. I have a Power Point presentation regarding proofreading errors.

I just added this one.

My students are going to get a kick out of the latest one.

Way to go, NBC.com.

[pink-o]

22. And didya hear: His son, Lance Young

Was stripped of all his Tour-de-France titles.

[flamingdem]

23. they're helpless helpless helll elp less n/t

[edbermac]

24. Of course Neil didn't walk on the moon!

He was at Woodstock performing with Crosby, Stills, Nash and Armstrong.



Far out man!

[Agnosticsherbet]

28. Yes, the impotence of proof readng....
