... do I have to email papers and TV shows to point out what cretins they employ?

From today's Daily Mail WEEKEND tv listings for Sunday night...

THE SKY AT NIGHT

Patrick Moore marks
50 years of the
astrological observation
program.

Firstly, that's SIR Patrick Moore to you...

And secondly, astrological..? ASTROLOGICAL?!?!?!?! Isn't it about time this simple mistake was banished?!?! What, have they got 5yr olds writing for them?!?!

Still, this is the paper that gives pages and pages over to astrologer Jonathan Cainer, who recently claimed that Comet McNaught would lead to world revolution and last year suggested to his readers that they could see Saturn's rings and Jupiter's Great Red Spot through binoculars, and suggested via artwork that they should scan the sky for Mercury while the Sun was still above the horizon, so why am I surprised..?

(shakes head in disbelief)
