You would think if this was for testing purposes it would be easy for them to explicitly state it was for testing only on the graphic so if this happened, you wouldn't have this reaction, wouldn't you?
No, because you want to test it as it's supposed to look.
You just shouldn't test it in the live feed.
lorem ipsum exists for a reason. also layout of election result does not need to be tested. if you fuck that up from your design to live system you are not qualified for the job
Then they could put the candidates names as "Candidate1" and "Candidate2" on the graphic to test everything. Text is just text, so there is no reason they need the actual names in there. There is also no reason to have the vote totals be close to realistic either.
This excuse that they were just testing the system is complete bullshit. The media does not deserve the benefit of the doubt, ever. They have proven time and time again that their acts of "stupidity" are actually malice. Anyone who still follows Hanlon's razor is just as retarded as Hanlon was.
