    Technically, that’s correct usage for quoting; “certain death” is from the source, and the rest is a summary. However, using proper quotations is rare in broadcasting lower thirds. Perhaps their graphics tech is fresh out of college or recently left a printed news source?

      Read it more carefully. You missed the fail.

    • anonymooseamber on September 13th, 2008 at 5:08 pm

      Certain is spelled wrong:)

    Isn’t “ceratin death” caused by Retsyn(TM)?

  5. L on September 13th, 2008 at 4:51 pm

    I thought ceratin death was caused by eating toenail clippings, not by hurricanes. Oh, wait. That’s keratin. My bad.

    It’s OK, it’s “within the margin of error” for misspelled words.

  7. Ulrike on September 13th, 2008 at 5:31 pm

    Why all the hatin’? Maybe the memo Fox News received was misspelled, and they quoted it exactly.

    • Bill on September 17th, 2008 at 6:34 pm

      Ah, so simply regurgitating what’s fed them without review or thought is OK. Got it.

    What a great way to spell news.

    • Aaron T. on September 14th, 2008 at 10:10 pm

      Not NEWS, NWS: National Weather Service.

  9. Yeah on September 13th, 2008 at 8:32 pm

    It’s quite possible the fail here was on the National Weather Service’s part. After all, “ceratin” is within quotes.

    I’d like take this opportunity to say Fox News sucks at everything, including spelling.

    • bil on September 14th, 2008 at 9:10 am

      right hiro. re. spelling. i before e,and e instead of i in hero.

      • Marrock on September 14th, 2008 at 10:46 am

        Not if it’s a japanese name.

        Leave the sarcasm to the professionals before you hurt yourself.

      • Larka. on September 15th, 2008 at 4:09 am

        It’s Japanese.
        -sigh-

      • HAHAHA bil on September 15th, 2008 at 3:52 pm

        bil…YOU SUCK!

        • Joshua! on October 13th, 2008 at 12:31 am

          yeah and you spelled ‘bill’ wrong

  11. brianna on September 15th, 2008 at 9:59 am

    At least it doesn’t say “cretin death”. That could have been worse.

  12. Stephi on September 15th, 2008 at 11:52 am

    Total Fail!

    I live right in the middle of Ike’s path, and I most certainly did not face “ceratin death,” “certain death,” or any kind of death for that matter. It just knocked down half of the trees on campus, and we lost power for a couple days. Going without electricity for 3 days has made me realize just how dependent on technology we as a society have become.

    …and of course, how, with that technology, we STILL manage to misspell words such as certain.

    Fox was absolutely brilliant here. This message wasn’t meant for us. It was meant for the dillweeds on Galveston Island that might try to ride out that hurricane. If they had put “certain death”, many of those intellectually-challenged people would still be there trying to figure out what that meant. By looking to the DIR (Dictionary for Ignorant Rednecks) they figured out the best way to get the message across was to warn them of “ceratin death.”

    It worked; most left the island. Fox News 1, Hurricane Ike 0

  14. HAHAHAHA Mike on September 15th, 2008 at 3:54 pm

    Mike…YOU SUCK!

  15. Bill on September 17th, 2008 at 6:29 pm

    “Cretin death” describes people going braindead by watching Fox News

    We Fix
    your News
    the way we like it.

    my b/f has a shirt that says that. in the Fox News colors. blue and red.

    and don’t attack my “computer speak”. i’m just too lazy and sick right now to capitalize letters and spell things out completely.

    Can’t wait to get this! I can feel a sick day coming so I can stay home from work and blow my day playing this.

    Hi, Neat post. There is a problem with your website in web explorer, might test this… IE nonetheless is the marketplace leader and a big component to other people will omit your excellent writing because of this problem.
