News for Lunch was scheduled to appear earlier, but was pre-empted by the News for Lunch reporters watching Russian tanks enter Georgia and promptly tangled in a traffic jam on I-75.
Here you see a Russian relief convoy, which was reported to have come under attack from airstrikes earlier today. Note the ablative relief supplies deployed on the front of the humanitarian vehicle. Also, there was some Olympic thing going on, I think. But who cares about all that, MMO NEWS!
…oh wait, there wasn’t any. Well, Kings Isle’s Wizard 101 has gone open beta. So there’s that.
News for Lunch has been brought to you today by 808 State.

That album introduced me to techno back in high school. Good memories.

The yahoo thing was so horribly done it has the whiff of implausibility (I kan spel gud to!) and I hope it was indeed a joke. It was quite well done if it was. If it wasn’t… well, that’s Georgia for you. Regardless, it was a very good laugh.

“well, that’s Georgia for you. ”
This sort of thing could definitely not have originated anywhere else in the USA, after all, right?

A Russian relief convoy is great, but you have to go slow. This is known as open beta. No matter what Forex Russian tanks you’re using.

Dunno if you’re already aware of it, Lum, but this blog has collected scads of interesting links on the Russia-Georgia situation
