CNN says Bush is an asshole

Check out this page. Right-click on the image of Bush and his wife and take a look at the properties.

Funny stuff.

Makes you wonder how often these types of things get slipped into the sites we visit.

*starts scouring the web looking at the properties of every image*

The very first commercial website I ever created, back in 1995, was for a credit card application form. I photoshopped the word "debt" into the background image, hidden by some color correction. It tiled continuously across and down the page.

I don't see anything out of the ordinary--what am I looking for?

Perhaps they've changed it.

For those of you who missed it, a buddy of mine emailed an image of it to me this morning. I blacked out a couple of items to preserve his identity. This is a screenshot from the Safari browser on Mac OS X, if you don't recognize it. Check out the suggested image name in the Save dialog...

I think this is great. I also wonder if any other news website does this. Im suprised Fox news didnt do this with pictures of Kerry.

The conclusion of the article, for those who don't click:

Quote:

CNN has fingered a Netscape employee as the culprit, and Netscape agrees.

"As soon as the situation was discovered, it was immediately corrected, and the employee has been terminated," said a Netscape spokesman. "CNN had nothing to do with the images, the terms, or the postings. We apologize to CNN and to anyone else offended in this matter."

Umm... did you read my post directly above yours? CNN didn't do it, someone at Netscape did. And that person has been fired. Period end. :rolleyes:
