Fun with a flake

Yeah, it’s corny, but that’s what made it so much fun for us. We got an e-mail from a reader this morning telling us about an Illinois-shaped cornflake that’s for sale on eBay. So, we did what any good journalists would do. We shared it with you.
Oh, and, a quick search uncovered this beauty.
Wondering what could be the weirdest thing ever sold on eBay? Here you go.
I love the viral nature of the Web.

“We shared it with you” link is broken.

Thanks. Just went back to check my links and noticed that. It’s fixed now.

What is your posting policy on blogs? It seems negative comments on Chuck Sweeney\’s blog are getting deleted. He either doesn\’t post or quickly deletes any comment he is asked on why he doesn\’t actually do reporting on a subject and instead asks his readers a question, such as, \"where is the school board on this issue?\"…you\’re the reporter Chuck, you tell us! I think questioning a reporter\’s desire to do his job in a nice way should not be reason enough to delete a comment.

Thanks for your comment. I am going to look into this.
