I was watching the news at 5:00 am this morning, and the traffic report came on. She was talking about construction on Hwy 290, and this little text box appeared over the traffic map.
It said “290 IS FUCKED.”
It was only on for a couple of seconds, and I had to rewind the DVR to read it - I missed it the first time. It didn’t seem that the traffic girl could see it, but my husband thought that she might have hesitated just a second when it popped up. Somebody’s head will roll! It had to be internal, because she was specifically talking about Hwy 290. Hilarious!
I don’t have the technical expertise to post a screenshot. It wasn’t Dominique Sachse, she is the anchor in the evening. This was the traffic girl, uh, I can’t find her name, either in my brain or by Google.
Call me “Whoosed” but was it because the final child’s name was made up? Tell me it was made up. Please? Or was I supposed to say the name aloud and laugh?
I don’t know how screen graphics are done these days, but I have a suspicion that it’s very easy to make these kinds of mistakes. Once, on a local news program, I saw Microsoft’s solitaire game pop up on the screen for a second.
