That’s priceless! Bets on how long til they notice…?
Literally the Che-est thing I have ever seen!
It’s from the Schilling show.
Now fixed (circa 10:50 AM)
Surely their CMS has a common image storage system, and the whole website draws from the same pool. Assuming all of the images are keyworded, I imagine somebody there just searched the database for “city seal,” turned that up, and used it, without giving it a second look. It’s a simple mistake, although the moral of the story should be that WINA ought to think twice about polluting their system with images that could embarrass them.
Incidentally, this wasn’t my catch. Reader S.G. e-mailed me about it, even attaching a screenshot in case it changed in the interim.
Should have gotten the URL of the image!
Regardless of its origin, it should not be in their library. This is a turning point for them.
That was actually pretty funny. I like the way it declares their political bias in an upfront and honest manner.
It is also not far off how many people view Cville…
danpri, you are right about that.
