Shalom, my loyal readers-I hope you all had a wonderful chag. We recently talked about Israeli reality TV but at the end of the day, this country (and much of the world) is still obsessed with American pop culture. Just last week, Channel 10 covered the recent microphone snafu on "American Idol" with Brad Pitt which presumably many of you TV-watching Americans know about.
Well, at least I think they were talking about "American Idol". They may have been talking about a bake sale.
I thought we made it pretty clear here. How in G-d's name did this unfold?Channel 10 Production Director: "Ya'alah, we go live in ten seconds!"
Screen Editor: "Rega! We have many typos and look like idiots!"
Channel 10 Production Director: "Yiyeh b'seder! Who caaaaaaaaares!?!?!?!"
Is this the news or "Wheel of Fortune"? You decide.

I saw a middle-aged balding man with a huge potbelly this morning wearing a shirt that said:
"Remember my name
(you may be screaming it later on)"
Even if it was true, I can't imagine that it's true in the way that the shirt's designer intended . . .
OMG I can go so many places with this. Had I been there that day (I was there the day before) I would've been yelling SO loudly. We've had worse typoes. Channels 1 and 2 do too, but man...
Just so you know, for that to happen, a LOT of people must've not paying attention (the CG person, the one who reviews CGs, the assistant director, the director, the technical director...) WOW.
OK, I just found out who it was.
Loved your article on ynet. Laughed my ass off as usual (even though I'd read it before on your blog :) )
Keep up the good work!
I took the college newspaper to task for constantly misspelling the largest city in Western Pennsylvania..."Pittsburg." That city is spelled with an H. There are a number of other cities that spell Pittsburg without an H, but the article was referring to the university in the above-named city, which is pretty well-known and is spelled "Pittsburgh." (One reason I complained is because my wife is a native...)
Anyway, it also annoys me when the captions on TV shows are misspelled. You would think that they would have time to correct anything. But, I can also guess that in Israel, I would believe that the editor would indeed say "Yi'hiye b'seder"!
