TV stations across America use outdoor boards to promote their local news anchors. So far, so good.
Then some genius in WPMI-TV’s promotion department decided to add tweets to the station’s outdoor board. Bad mistake.
The station’s general manager and news director have now been suspended for a week because of this embarrassing juxtaposition of news and advertising.

They suspended those people? WTH? Why must everything be taken so seriously... why doesn't someone come out and say, 'hey, we're sorry about that, and didn't intend for it, but it was pretty funny' ... just laugh it off like everyone else... people have to be suspended? They just gang-raped their employees and threw them under the bus. Stoopid.
WTF? Media gang raping the unsuspecting public--where's the news in that?
Thanks for the belly laugh this morning, ocmadam.
