I suppose if you re CBS it s funny when you run an absolutely crap article that is riddled with grade-school grammar errors, factual miststeps and just plain bad writing. William Vitka and Chad Chamberlain s GameCore, a column I had never heard of and likely will continue to ignore, apparently ran unedited last week. The article, which was supposed to be a story comparing the Nintendo DS to the Sony PSP, was so poorly written, it makes you wonder why a national news organization has a borderline illiterate writing for them. Here s a taste of the prosaic column as it appears in the stream of angry letters CBS News received:

...is the latest and greatest in hand held hardware that offers a while new dynamic to handheld media...

...You can buy currently up to a 1G-memory stick but that would easily run $150 to $300 definitely a cost productive venture unlike the iPods and Archos of the present day where they come stock with at least 20 to 40Gigs of onboard storage.

I don t know which is worse, the fact that two drunken monkeys could cobble together a better sentence then these two or the fact that they apparently think it s funny that their column so miserably failed what few readers they must have.
