Unfortunate screen cap of the week
On the front page of CBC.ca, you can see a screen capture from the online video being featured. This screencap is automated; the site just picks a frame from the video and throws it up there.
Usually, the video is of a talking head so it’s fine.
Every once in a while, though, something like this shadow-puppet scene happens.

I’ve seen that screen grab catch the middle of the transition animation (“woosh!”) between one story and the next. Just a mess of red and grey triangles.
You think that’s bad – before we got ad-free feeds up there, I once saw a shot from a toilet paper ad!
