Seriously, Get Nancy Grace Off the Air

OK, technically, this was not her fault. But it happened during her show and I can't stand her, so I am unfairly laying the blame squarely on her shoulders.

Tonight, I was flipping channels when I came to CNN Headline News just in time to see the following caption on the screen:

"Convicted Killer Goes Free Bcz of Sympathy For The Victim"

Bcz? BCZ?? What, in the name of all that is holy, possessed them to use that abbreviation? And it wasn't like it just flashed on the screen and was quickly removed, in which case you might excuse it as the work of a stressed out Krylon operator (did I get the lingo right, Hulio?) who couldn't find the right text on time. No, it just sat there. They cut to other scenes, then back to Nancy Grace, and under her the offending caption, again and again. Maybe they didn't know how to spell it. Maybe they thought it looked kewl.

Have we come so far that even the cable news networks can't caption without the use of l33t-style abbreviations? IT'S SPELLED "BECAUSE"! That's four whole letters longer! Type out the whole word! Jeez!
