Jumping the gun

As you probably know most media outlets pre-prepare obituaries of prominent world figures.  Then when they pass away, the panic in researching and creating content is reduced.  While this is understandable, it’s probably recommended that they keep this content secreted away until the time is right. Enter the Internet.

Someone on CNN’s web team was obviously playing around, because the CNN website published a load of premature obituaries… and of course The Smoking Gun grabbed them for prosperity. I’m sure Dick Cheney, Ronald Reagan, Pope John Paul II, Fidel Castro, Bob Hope and Nelson Mandela will all be interested in how CNN will remember them.
