Penguins Tumbl and Judge

Penguins Tumbl and Judge My name is Ryan, and I live in Orlando Fl, and I work for the largest tourist destination in the world. I love my job, my friends, and technology (especially Apple stuff). My degree was in Information Technology (even thought I am not using it right now). This blog is a collection of thoughts, opinions, and re-blogs of things that interest me. Have more questions about me? Send them to me in my ask box. :)

starline: walpaper: squashed: negevrockcity: Fox News recently confused Iraq with Egypt in an on-air map. As many readers of Negev Rock City are aware, Fox News is an American cable television news station. The United States, as many readers are also aware, currently maintains an extensive military presence in Iraq. (Via) So … how does this even happen? It happens because the PAs, Associate Producers and Graphic Editors are too busy Tumblin’ to notice their mistakes. This makes me cringe so so much. Maps are the most nerve-wrecking graphics to make for news. Fox News lives up to its reputation here.
