News24’s most useless email alert!
Apr 21st, 2008 by Jonathan
I subscribe to the News24 Breaking News email alert, and I just received the most useless email alert I have ever received in my life!
The email read:
Parreira resigns
South African soccer coach Carlos Alberta Parreira has officially resigned.

I naturally clicked on the link to get the whole story which read as follows:
“Johannesburg - South African soccer coach Carlos Alberta Parreira has resigned, AP has reported.”
That’s it! The “story” had the same content as the email! There was absolutely no point in me clicking through to see the “full report” on the site!
Surely, News24 should’ve gone to a bit more effort with this poor excuse for an article before they mailed it to 1000’s of newsletter subscribers?!?
