Fox News, Fair and Misspelled - FAIL

We would like to thank the reader who passed along the OOOOOPS moment that you see in the picture on the left. Fox 5 News in Atlanta, Georgia aired the graphic to the left on the evening news today. It is not every day that a major news network in the state of Georgia has to spell Georgia correctly! Today, Fox 5 failed!

Of course, we at The Wannabe Guru were intrigued by how someone at a news network could misspell the word Georgia, one of the original 13 colonies. It made us ask a few questions. Where exactly is Georiga? Perhaps I should plug it into Mapquest and find out.


I plug Georiga into mapquest...and boom.... Greggs, GA....no I don't want Greggs, GA, I want Georiga, Georgia (as I guess it is in Georgia since the Atlanta Fox affiliate is broadcasting it)

Let's Google Georiga and see if I get any further:

Well....I guess they are taking graduates from the state of Georgia on a bus trip across Georiga! Sweet....I wonder if we get to ride in one of those big yellow cheese busses!


The lettrist was complaining about $1 billion dollars in aid for a road from Russia to Turkey, but he had to pick on the fact that the Engineers and Georiga Tech spell just as well as the Engineers at Georgia Tech.

Of course, with the record flood that Fox 5 reported in Georiga, it is nice to know that you can make a donation to the United Way of Northwest Georiga (or at least find them on their Facebook fanpage) Question....who do you send donations to for the flood victims in Northwest Georgia?
Perhaps the person at Fox 5 who typed in the graphic for the news went to school at the Georiga Christian Academy?

All I know is I hope that I didn't miss the North Georiga State fair this year, since it looks like it was a really good time last year!
