The thing is, it was easy as hell to mess with, since its just a power point presentation from what im told.

Drysart said this about your mom:
It was a simple web form to submit business closings. They said the entries would be "screened", but as you can see, they didn't do a very good job at screening them.
So are you saying you did this? *snickers and ducks*

No. I didn't find the opportunity or get it started, but I did submit a few closings. No idea if they ever aired.

You're my hero. Can I worship you today?

Ja'Deth Issar Ka'bael had this to say about Cuba:
I shall have to ask my Dad (who lives in Raleigh) if he saw that.
I asked him when this was first posted and it wasn't. He said nobody watches that station.
Call in, setup a contact, change it online and blammo, Cockring Emporiums and other such nonsense. The closings were only 'screened' by a human when first submitted. After that modification allowed you to do anything you like. The TV station said they'd be changing the policies and having a human being review them just before they air.
