Cringely describes how its possible

Best line, after a discussion of his powerpoint-less speech techniques, and how they foster discussion and thinking and commentary, rather than just a scramble for the slides: My point here is not that I’m God’s gift to public speaking, but that what I do is PUBLIC SPEAKING, not public posturing or bustier ripping. I have nothing to sell. My goal is actual communication. How quaint.

A Tennessee woman has filed a class action suit against Janet Jackson and others involved in her breast-baring Super Bowl halftime show, saying millions of people are owed monetary damages for exposure to lewd conduct, court records showed on Friday.

Full Story Here...

Ok, I get "exposed" to seeing lewd conduct, and someone owes me money? Geeze, all these years I thought it was the other way around...

Aladin has been given the go-ahead and the PR is in motion for it to join Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, and Lion King, as part of the annual "Platinum Series" of DVDs.

All good and well.

Except not a single news story has gotten that list right. Two have left off Beauty entirely, with one of them replacing it with "Alice in Wonderland" which is not part of that series of releases.

*sigh*

How hard is it for the media to check their facts before going to print?
