Who Fact-Checks This Bloody Site?

Uhm, you're wrong

The Devil Wears Prada have a new EP coming out called Zombie. According to Noisedweeb, the album’s called Flesh Hungry Zombies. Not only did the site have a story up almost a week after everybody else ran pieces on the new outing, but they get the fucking album title wrong? Who the hell fact-checks Noisedweeb’s stories? Oh wait, I know…I should know: NOBODY!

The rest of the article is basically correct, sans for a few grammatical errors and missing words (i.e.; “If you did not head over the pre-order yet, what are you waiting for?”), and how do I know this? Because its basically the fucking press release the band’s publicist sent out, almost word for word. It’s not that hard to re-write press releases folks.

Literally, the fourth paragraph is practically straight from the release. Lame.

UPDATE: The practically-unreadable Noisedweeb has since amended their post to reflect the correct title. It took them all fucking day, but they did figure it out eventually.
