Professionalism In Action

Posted by Captain Mojo on November 4th, 2004 (All posts by Captain Mojo)

Thanks to Tim Blair, we now know that the good people running the Netscape CNN site have a remarkably expressive file naming system.

As a commentator on Blair’s site says, “winners can laugh … losers are losers”.

(Just in case they fix the file in question, here’s a screenshot)

UPDATE:

As I’m sure everyone’s already seen on Instapundit, CNN and Netscape have announced that the offending filename was created by a junior Netscape (not CNN) employee responsible for posting files (which is what I figured). This person has apparently been fired.

    That’s just as classy as brainwashedchild.jpg (at the Houston Chronicle)

    By the way, here’s a great live-blog of the CNN coverage from Tuesday night. What liberal bias?
