Did they misspell "Kardashians", or did you? Even the kind of people who would be interested in why a Kardashian is an Egyptian Goddess would presumably notice the misspelling.
- atomical 9y agoIt doesn't matter.
- wutbrodo 9y agoI know you want to signal that you're too cool to care about the Kardashians, and I don't care about them either. But it's entirely relevant to the conversation and the attempt to understand what kind of userbase this post describes if NBC isn't even bothering to spell names right in their headline.
- atomical 9y agoThe novelty of NBC's move and the reason it's being talked about on HN is that an old media giant is embracing Snapchat's younger demographic. Once you know that any supporting details are largely irrelevant because they only further describe what is already known.

- nv-vn 9y agoNot sure about this, but Vice's snapchat content is often taken from other Vice publications and then very poorly copied. Lots of spelling mistakes nearly every post.
- Grue3 9y agoFWIW, I didn't notice the misspelling.
