The story is all over the financial blogs, and the debate on the effects of commercially hosted blogs is fairly interesting and wide-ranging.

Oh, nevermind, OJ's guilty on all 12 counts.

I'm confused, Ardiril... Are you saying something has been deleted here? Because I'm not seeing anything in the admin panel. Or am I not understanding this?

I posted on a false CNN blog entry that caused Apple stock to drop. The OJ thing was just foolin around.

You posted about the CNN blog entry here? Again, I'm not seeing anything deleted. Could you have maybe previewed but not actually posted or something?

posted by taz 04 October | 01:44

No, BP and mudpuppie both commented in it.

posted by Ardiril 04 October | 01:46

I killed that post taz. Dropped Ardiril an email that he has not seen yet.

double secret super deletion, heheh.

let me check my email again.

posted by Ardiril 04 October | 01:47

ah!

posted by taz 04 October | 01:49

oh, gmail, i forgot about that account. i guess it doesn't exist anymore.

what was the reason?

posted by Ardiril 04 October | 01:52

fixed my profile email addy, btw

posted by Ardiril 04 October | 01:55

Ard, I killed it because the link had nothing to do with the post content as the replies pointed out. Must have had a dynamic link that changed.

posted by arse_hat 04 October | 01:58

ok, delete this too, if you want

posted by Ardiril 04 October | 01:59

the discussion would be more of a weekday thing anyway

"ok, delete this too, if you want"

Nah! This is just getting cool!

posted by arse_hat 04 October | 02:03

Well, in that case...

This is the new CNN link.

and this is the most interesting quote:

While CNN clearly states the content on iReport is unedited and unfiltered, the false report also raises questions as to the credibility of user-generated content, and how much traditional media outlets should embrace such formats.

and here's a pretty graph of Apple's 7 point drop as a result.

Does anyone else smell a dead horse, or is it just me?

Meh! Not as bad as McCain's collapse.

arsey, I don't think you're allowed to put an exclamation point after a "meh". It's, like, against the laws of internet or something.

posted by taz 04 October | 02:34

phhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhht!

posted by arse_hat 04 October | 02:35

No, pphhhttt, gets spittle marks, as in: pppphhhhtttt......

posted by Ardiril 04 October | 02:38

So what does "I Fart In your general direction!" get?

posted by arse_hat 04 October | 02:41

Weird. I saw BoPo's comment about the link going to "some story about Apple," and I laughed because the story IS about Apple. I thought maybe BoPo just didn't RTFA. But the link was right when I saw it, which was after BoPo saw it and thought it was wrong.

It's all so confusing.

I want to see Tina Fey doing Chevy Chase doing Sarah Palin doing Gerald Ford.

posted by Ardiril 04 October | 03:26

I don't want to see anyone doing Gerald Ford. He's been dead a while now.

posted by arse_hat 04 October | 23:39

Thanks for the mental image that "Chevy Chase doing Sarah Palin" dredged up. Thanks a lot.

taz: ironic exclamation points after a 'meh' are acceptable.
