Here it is – without a doubt the most idiotic headline and news item of the year.
“ATMs Down in Areas Hit by Power Outage”
NEW YORK (Reuters) – Large automatic teller machine networks in areas affected by the power outage in the Northeast on Thursday were shut down, making it impossible for most retail customers in those areas to withdraw their money.
You have gotta be kidding me. Really? ATMs don’t work without power? We can rest easy knowing that the press is there to discover these otherwise unknown facts.
Next week be on the look out for more headlines like “The Sky is Blue” and “The Sun Rises in the East.”
