"North Carolina State University students hack a local news weather ticker..."

Uh, no. I have an archive of this and what had happened was their news submission web page was not vetted at all. Anything you submitted was live on the next display cycle. Once that was discovered, of course the students spammed the hell out of it.

It is not hacking if the site has no security.

Note Ali (Muhammad Ali), Leia (Carrie Fisher), Major Tom (David Bowie), Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder), Prince, and Brady's Mom (? - Florence Henderson?), all recent celebrity deaths.

Lyrics from https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/perfectcircle/solongandthanksforallthefish.html :

Time is money and money is time
We wasted every second dime
On diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps
And flags, and plastic surgery
Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom
Ali and Leia have moved on
Signal the final curtain call
In all this atomic pageantry

Bravissimo, hip-hip hooray
For this fireworks display
Mind and body blown away
What a radiant crescendo

Ticker tape parade
Our hair and skin like
Like Marilyn Monroe
In an empty wind

Time is money and money is time
We wasted every second dime
On politicians, fancy water
And guns, and plastic surgery
Like old Prince and Brady's mom
All the dolphins have moved on
Signaling the final curtain call
In all this atomic pageantry

Bravissimo, hip-hip hooray
What a glorious display
Melt our joyous hearts away
Under the mushroom cloud confetti

Hip-hip hooray
For this fireworks display
Mind and body blown away
What a radiant crescendo

Hip-hip hooray
Hip-hip hooray

Ticker tape parade
Our hair and skin like
Like Marilyn Monroe
In an empty wind

Time is money and money is time
We wasted every second dime
On diets, lawyers, shrinks and apps
And flags, and plastic surgery
Now Willy Wonka, Major Tom
Ali and Leia have moved on
Signal the final curtain call
In all this atomic pageantry

I got in and kept refreshing the ticker. It sold out in about 9 hours. With the questions they asked I wouldn't be surprised if they sent out personalized cards like they did with the Kwanzaa bullshit. Last time they sent out holiday comics and customized cards.

Did anyone else notice the ticker scroll?

Bayer -12.9%
Monsanto -26.5%
BP -66.2%
Heckler & Koch -86.1%

That's one really bad day.

Hear, hear...A lonely voice of sanity, crying-out in a wilderness of the self-deluded...

I'd offer...Who gives a fiddler's fuck whose missile hit whose fight club incubator? Missiles found stacked neatly at two United Nations Relief and Works Agency school buildings to-date, and as far as that shit goes who is to say it wasn't the UN who brokered the bomb deal and sent the blue-helmet fucks to deliver 'em?

I have a suggestion: Israels' a big boy now (the 'dybbuk' have come a long way since 1947)... How about the rest of the world back the way back from The Never Ending Storyline of Real-Jew/Fake-Jew vs Persians (2700+ years and counting??) and let all interested parties duke it the fuck out? Oh and by all means, think of the children, consume more news-corp spin, and go out and get yourselves some solar-powered Vitamin D maybe??

I know...Let's identify and list 24/7-365 the names and addresses on news-tickers worldwide of the DAMAGED WHITE PEOPLE who manufactured the ordinance and continue to bank Hanover Phist on regional conflicts worldwide (while stealing $$ from the planet's wage-slaves) and eliminate ALL THOSE motherfuckers??


...'and the world, will be a better place'

Probably, chicco may soon tell you all about it...I ain't touchin' it, got enough bad Karma from dissin' the devout, be they Christians, atheists, or the k k k Kool-Aide-Brand lib-tickers on this site-

Well charliem, it looks as if someone has adopted a stray and is smothering him with kisses and farts instead of the customary ticker-tape parade-Please keep hands and feet away from propeller at all times and stand to the center of the contraption as it gibbers and squeaks

lol, I like it.

I'm starting a new in a bar this week. I'm not worried about the bartending part, but i'm more concerned about the menu. Its four times larger than anything I worked with, I don't know asian cuisine. I agree with ramsay, my resume doesn't mean squat if I can't produce. (luckily i'm nothing thinking a fox television show will be my winning lottery ticker).

And I agree that jigsaw would have provided a better challenge for the competition.

Talking Head: "Do you believe that teaching kids that the world is anything but 4.5 billion years old is the same as teaching them that it's flat?"

Nye: "Well... The word 'same'... It's a pretty good analogy."

Meanwhile, before he even finished saying that much, the talking points ticker at the bottom pops up with "Bill Nye on creationism: it's like teaching the Earth is flat".

Thanks CNN. Thanks so much for reducing a complex and thought out response to a blurb that even a bite-sized, 24-hour news cycle brain can manage. God forbid you give the expert that you've invited onto your show a full 60 seconds of uninterrupted time to speak, without putting words into his mouth for him before he even says them. What if he runs long and cuts into celebrity breakup gossip hour? I tell you what, everybody sees the fall of print journalism coming but with stuff like this televised "news" can't be far behind.

>> ^KnivesOut:

Where's the Fox News clip quoting just the first part, with a big "WE TOLD YOU SO" ticker running underneath?


I don't know but have you been to Foxnews.com... are you so sure it isn't?... Though it's probably be "WE TOLD YOU SO ?" and thus be completely 'fair and balanced'.

Where's the Fox News clip quoting just the first part, with a big "WE TOLD YOU SO" ticker running underneath?

Yeah people...Focus on the this cad-killer's loquacious verve and not his past douchebaggery! Go easy on the poor cunt, he kicked a nasty coke habit and has a bad ticker....lighten-up on him for Bosnia and Somalia, too

That's indeed the sole reason I posted it.

So I click play and see all hell breaking loose....and notice the news ticker at the bottom "BREAKING NEWS: Dick Cheney Released From Hospital".

Coincidence?

Nope.
