So I am signed up with my local newspaper to receive news alerts in my email. I get the usual ones like accidents, or shootings, or whatnot whether they be local or out of California. But today was different...

I checked my email and the subject line for a Bakersfield News Alert was blah blah blah

Of course that made me wonder what was going on so I opened it up, only to find....

blah blah blah
blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
 
So the news is only blah blah blah today.  Whew, it's better then hearing about shootings huh?  
 
I did click on the link and it brought up a different article that had nothing to do with blah blah blah. I just found it funny that someone who works for the Bakersfield Californian send out a news alert like that. Think they were having a bad day?

That IS funny!! I wonder what happened to them that they did that!
Mel B. Oct 4, 2007, 3:49pm EDT
It was probably an accident, they were playing around and somehoe opps - it went to publish and out in mass emails.. lmao

That's basically spam. They could lose their job over that.
Shannon W Oct 4, 2007, 3:59pm EDT
Maybe they'll be a news alert for it tomorrow. "Bakersfield Californian Trickster fired over mass blah, blah, blah incident." ;)

Jennifer P. Oct 4, 2007, 4:06pm EDT
No I haven't! LOL! Definitely an interesting alert. Maybe it was sent out on someone's last day? Glad you enjoyed it anyway.

RLOL, someone was having fun! Let's hope that they don't get canned!

I got one yesterday from my local station. The story has developed some since. It seems that in sunny San Luis Obispo, Ca, we are not safe. We had our first and hopefully last murder suicide. A husband, wife and their 7 YO were found dead. Why the child too! I am so sorry for what is left of that family.
LOL

Not a great headline!
Nancy S. Oct 4, 2007, 5:21pm EDT
That's funny Shannon. Wonder if that was their way of saying, take this job & shove it.
Danielle P. Oct 4, 2007, 7:11pm EDT
It is funny. I bet Nancy is right and someone quit or was in the process of getting fired.
denise e Oct 4, 2007, 9:13pm EDT

Victoria H. Oct 5, 2007, 12:25pm EDT
Maybe they were just doing it to be funny and didn't actually mean to submit it? Sorta funny though. I'm with everyone else - I'll bet they get in trouble!
Marie L. Oct 5, 2007, 2:10pm EDT
