Journalism warning labels - gotta have 'em


Oh, I love this! (A tip of the hat to former student Justin Fenner for the pointer.)

British comedian Tom Scott has prepared a set of journalism warning labels that can be printed off and pasted on your favorite dead-tree version (or, we assume, in a corner of your TV set or computer monitor).

These hit soooooo close to home (and, of course, that is why they are so dang funny, if not sad at the same time). In the U.S., the British spellings give it a nice little twist.
