I think the sheer number of criticisms on this page definitely draws the line with the whole \\\"in a position where they should.\\\"
But I\\\'m seeing way too many don\\\'ts, which are quite frankly utterly ridiculous. Here are two examples:
A GOOD EXAMPLE: \\\"There was a newspaper article about how \\\"Sega\\\'s mascot Mario\\\" was more recognizable than Mickey Mouse. If he\\\'s so recognizable, how do they not know what company he\\\'s from?\\\" Pretty darned self-explanatory.
BAD EXAMPLE: \\\"British teenage science magazine Flipside ran a small article on Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, listing a handful of returning characters as being \\\'Solid Snake, Roy Campbell, and Quinton Flynn\\\'. The latter is the name of the voice actor for one of the characters.\\\" It\\\'s called a reflex typo, people... Everyone makes them all the fucking time. If you\\\'re a \\\"news person\\\", like you claim you are, then I think everyone on here would easily know you\\\'re bullshitting if you deny simple typos sliding under the radar. If reflex typos were such huge, inexcusable epic fails, then I can guarantee you we\\\'d be having a whole lot of fucking college students dropping out, and a lot of \\\"news people\\\", like YOU, or whatever, getting their asses dusted on the resume.
This page needs to be cleaned up something fierce.
