Hilarious Google News glitch
on: February 15, 2007, 05:01:06 pm
I was looking at Google News today - saw that Peter Pan Peanut Butter was recalled due to salmonella poisoning.. and then saw this.
I PROMISE this is not photoshopped:

Really bad joke: the guy's name is Sal Monella.   Snap!

I don't get it.

It's teh funneh because the words "Salmonella" and "Sal Monella" are separated by one space, and being that close, the articles about food poisining (by Salmonella) were grouped in with the one about the rape trial (with Sal Monella).

Basically, funneh by juxtaposition.

I don't find it that funny.  It's a pun-ish thing.

-basically, the computer gives you a bunch of links supposedly related to what you're looking at.  since "Salmonella" and "Sal Monella" are so close, the computer thought they were related. 
Although, I agree, I wasn't exactly loling at that...

Actually I don't know where he got the idea the man's name was Sal Monella, It was Berlie Roberson. :o

His name isn't Sal Monella.  That was my (bad) joke.

The real joke is that an article about the clearing of an accused rapist was juxtaposed into a grouping of articles about contaminated peanut butter.
Honestly, it wasn't that subtle... ::)

OK, I'll stop now.

Because... Google News screwed up? 
And because rape and peanut butter are such funny topics?
