then you click to the page and cnn can't seem to make up their mind about whether mattel got $40 mil or $100 mil in the settlement. despite being asian i'm not the world's greatest math whiz but i do know that there's a huge fucking difference between $40 mil and $100 mil. $60 mil to be exact. is it too much to hire a retarded monkey intern to copy edit this garbage (no offense to retarded monkeys).
here's the kicker though, the image that accompanies the story is neither a picture of barbie nor a bratz toy but a fucking robot bug. this is about when my brain began to explode in utter disbelief.
cnn.com staffer: well boss, it's not barbie or a bratz but it IS a kind of toy. close enough right?
cnn.com editor: i don't know man, i'm too busy trolling tmz for some front page news stories. let's run with it!
seriously man, this is where a large contingent of our country's population gets its news from. can we at least get someone over there to give half a flying fuck???!!!
UPDATE: the actual amount of the settlement was $20 million. not 40 or 100. cnn.com would be better off if it was being run by barbie, bratz, or even that stupid robot bug toy that looks like a crab.
