Google News quirks

11 Jul 2006

Occasionally, I'll pull up Google's news website and check the headlines. Since I'm in Canada, it likes to drop me into news.google.ca, and often I'll switch back to news.google.com so I can get the 'Merican stuff.

One of the funny quirks about Google News is that sometimes the images don't sync up with the stories. I came across two of these today, and one's kind of funny, one's disturbing.

I have to admit that showing Dr. Evil when a takeover price reaches one billion dollars is kind of funny. The other one ... well ... I'm even a little concerned it's in the "Sports" section.
