Even the Beeb can have bad days

Oops — looks like even the BBC’s news site can have a bad day…I wonder what happened!

Full size version below:

The broken article was up for a fair few minutes — the text seems littered with high-ASCII; I wonder if it was actually a translated version without the tags set up properly. A minor glitch anyway, but made me grin.

Just in case you wonder what it’s supposed to say, they’ve now fixedthe original article.
