Pretty funny typo on CNBC.com
Blurb for top story on the main page:

"As one of the most dizzying bear market rallies in Wall Street history enters its second month, a nagging question remains: Is the stock market glossing over deeper problems in the economys?"

http://www.cnbc.com/

"Economys"?

Hm.

These are the smart financial people, I hear.

:banghead:

1. Pretty unlikely that financial people are inputting the scroller, don't you think?
Typos happen all the time. I fixed a few just entering this post. That's not even an especially amusing one. Conclusion: whatfuckingever.

10. LOL! They laid off their spellchecker!
Either that or they were originally going to say something else, tried to change it, but didn't really.
