This just in from the Forecast Earth desk...
« on: August 26, 2008, 07:27:14 PM »
...I'm sick of hearing about the freakin' Forecast Earth desk! Obviously all of the OCMs have been instructed to mention the "Forecast Earth desk" at least once per hour even for stats that are only vaguely related to climate change. I wonder what genius came up with this sickening idea... *cringe*

Watch TWC for a few minutes, and you'll understand what we're talking about. ;)

It's not their fault; they obviously want to keep their jobs and avoid being fired by whatever supervisor is forcing them to say that. :P

And while we're on the topic, can someone tell why it is necessary to plaster the Forecast Logo all over the titlebar of certain maps?

That's pissed me off too, they need to scrap the whole "forecast earth" spots.
