wickedfleaI just got this:
My first question: why does this merit a "breaking news" notification? Who gives a shit? Fuck Charlton Heston with a fat 9 millimeter.
(Sorry, I know that's cold, but I just reaaaaally don't like that dude.)
My second question: if I sent an email stating that my ass is on fire to <textbreakingnews@cnnimail12.cnn.com>, would it actually go to everyone signed up for CNN breaking news? Yeah, probably not.
