Everyday thoughts, but not every day

The beer necessities

BBC headline: “Beer spill truck crash closes Florida highway”

A pile-up involving five trailer trucks on I-75 in Florida, resulted in the closure of the highway when one of the trucks spilled its cargo of thousands of beer cans.

However, closer inspection of the photos taken by the Florida Highway Patrol reveal that, what the BBC News droid describes as beer was, in fact, Coors. At least the metal can be recycled, so no loss really.

Coors is canned and branded cats' piss. Troof. (nod)

According to the Web Archive's Wayback Machine—which is fast becoming my go-to reference with regards to the BBC's stealthy shenanigans—an earlier version of their report actually referred to thousands of Coors Light beer cans. I assume that this was written by a model of droid that's unaware of the BBC's stance on (free) advertising.
