weather.com Mentioned on TruTV's 'Dumb As A Blog' website.
« on: February 10, 2010, 02:51:22 PM »
I was checking TruTV's Dumb As A Blog website for some stupid crimes, and I have made a discovery: The Weather Channel's weather.com has been headlined...and not in a positive way either. Here's an excerpt of the story:
Quote from: Ritch - Dumb As A Blog
Today in "Stupid Website News" the Weather Channel.com seems to think that some of its readers are unclear about the definition of the word "place." This makes a certain amount of sense. People who are so stupid that you can actually pee on their leg and tell them that it's raining need to know the weather too, after all.


The only nitpick is that the writer said "The Weather Channel.com" instead of weather.com. Oh well.

Umm its meant to explain you can use certain locations as weather points, not just cities/zip code.

Wow, that's pretty stupid. Of course they need to explain what they mean by place. I can't think of any other weather website where you can enter a place to get its forecast. And yes, if you don't give an example, someone might expect to get a forecast by entering "my friend's house." :hammer:
