Apparently, ‘China Daily’ doesn’t know us | | September 3rd, 2007 posted by JB under Bits & Pieces |
I believe one of China Daily’s gallant “copy-and-pasters” made a little mistake in copying and pasting this report from Reuters. The report was about Sinag, the solar-powered car designed and built by students from De La Salle University.
The original title must have been “Indonesian drives self-designed solar-powered car,” (see image above) which has been indexed by Google and still appears on searches. As my sister would say, “Hello?”
China Daily must have realized its mistake, so hastily deletes “Indonesian,” but strangely leaves it at that and doesn’t bother replacing it with “Strange, clever brown monkeys”…. Alright, “Filipinos.” So the current title (”Drives self-designed solar-powered car”) lacks a doer and serves as the smoking gun.
I wonder why China Daily continues doing this thing. I’ve probably caught them committing something like this three times in the past six months. Maybe they should hire me.
