VERY slow news day…

This is actually from a couple of weeks ago, but apparently pretty much anything passes for “news” at the BBC these days:

Brown’s Young Son Behind Twitter Gobbledegook
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/politics/8389286.stm

The “story” is that this lady’s kid got ahold of her computer and sent this junk tweet out to her million-ish followers. Subsequently it was explained that the rogue tweet was actually from her son randomly banging on the keyboard in her absence … I guess I’m just confused as to how this became a “story.”

Sarah Brown’s Twitter followers were baffled earlier when the PM’s wife “tweeted” a random set of letters.

Sure they were.

Further Research & Realization: Apparently this lady is the wife of the Prime Minister of the UK … still not sure if that makes her toddler’s banging on a keyboard “newsworthy,” though…
