Advertiser boo-boo

Re: Advertiser boo-boo

Is this story really worthy of being called "Breaking News"? :
[...]
Okay, it's not necessarily a "boo-boo" per se. More of a "What the ?"
Maybe they just put it up so they could say "Duck Butt."

Diane Ako reported the story last night and she couldn't help giggle! Christine Uyeno reported it this morning with a completely straight face! How, I'll never know!

My mechanic's shop used to be across the street. He and I giggled in disbelief when that, ummm, establishment opened! Who the heck did the translation?!

Breaking news? Musta been a slow news day!

I saw this in this Breaking News item just now:

"Three people were rescued in SCUBA diving incidents in East Oahu this morning, according to the Honolulu Fire Department.
"The first rescue was of a SCUBA diver in distress aboard a commercial dive boat outside Moanalua Bay at 10:10 a.m."

You'd think our local newspaper would know the name of Maunalua Bay and be able to spell it correktly.

Happens in print, happens in television too, on KGMB Sunrise the other day they spelled the state of "Connecticut" in a way I've never seen it spelled before!
