In future, perhaps we might consider random letter-glyphs from multiple writing systems as well?
Please tell me that this was ’shopped.
not shopped. i saw it live on air myself.
nope, not a photoshop, I saw this caption on air as well, It was a Friday morning the week before last and I was a bit disappointed to see such an immature comic-strip punctuation used on our National Broadcaster’s news service… oh well… CNN used the "word" "preggers" in a caption a while ago… Who makes these decisions anyways?
Preggers? Please be kidding. Are we turning into the Toronto Sun?
Lighten up, all y’all . . who really give a !#@% anyway?
I hope not. It has its place in the market, but its formula needn’t be duplicated elsewhere in the Canadian news services.
i’m with them #@^%$& winter!
nothing wrong with a little profanity ever once in a while, especially when its that %#!@’n cold out!
I agree with Swiv…..I saw it and thought it summed up the situation quite nicely. It was everyone was thinking.

FYI, I was responding to "Klaatu" re: their Toronto Sun comment. As you might have already guessed from my first post in this thread, I’m with Swiv on this one.
How about that multi-writing system version of typewriter cussing, anyway? Anyone planning to try it?
I just checked it on Volicon
