MSN and Faux Sports Again with an Inflammatory Headline
This is the headline on msn.com and the headline on faux's sports website:
msn: Canadian flubs US anthem
faux: Canadian singer stumbles over U.S. anthem

While it is true she stumbled while singing the anthem, I take the story as being somewhat anti-Canadian. I took the headline as emphasizing that she is Canadian.
Maybe I'm being overly sensitive. But, given faux's and msn's track record I'm suspicious.

msn: http://www.msn.com/
faux: http://msn.foxsports.com/nhl/story/3569004

1. Rightly so.
How many U.S. citizens can get through the bastardized English drinking song?

3. Jeez, this is not even a story, why are they talking about it so much?
It is a cute video, but news?

4. People love to see others embarrassed
and this poor girl had a pretty bad and embarrassing evening.

7. I know, its bad enough to have a lousy day when you are alone
but it really sucks when it happens it front of a few thousand people and then beamed around the planet. I feel really sorry for her.
