Another story to confuse Daily Mail readers (and indeed the awful paper itself). They hate Facebook, but they also hate the BBC. Their tiny minds won't know which way to hate/be fearful next.
The launch of a BBC "World Olympic Dreams" site over the weekend went slighty awry when outraged netizens spotted a rather unflattering description of Facebook users in the "half-baked" effort: BBC Olympic website inviting readers to "become a saddo on Facebook" Spot on, although the site has sadly now been purged of all …

Somewhere in there my fellow developer had a snippet of the ilk:
if (condition that is always going to be true) then
do something

oh, and take a look at who is calling whom a saddo, oh ye grand wise olympic committee with the multi-million logo that looks like porno simpsons, and spending all that cash when so many are loosing their jobs and homes.
hello? is there anyone home?
