Having read this article on New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s loony return-of-the primitive proposal to put wind turbines on top of apparently everything in Manhattan, I was about to post the usual bloggerific snark, though Rush and GlobalWarming.org have you well served in that department.
But when I looked up Bloomberg’s Wikipedia page, I came across this truly bizarre passage:
Bloomberg has on numerous occasions been accused of sexually harassing men under his employment, which he has denied.[24][25] T. Dan Winger sued Mr. Bloomberg for sexual harassment, alleging that he had made explicit comments about his body and encouraged him to spend time alone with him. The lawsuit was withdrawn in 1999.[26] In 1997, a former Bloomberg L.P. employee who became pregnant while employed filed a lawsuit accusing Bloomberg of saying “Kill it!” and “great, No. 16,” a reference to the number of pregnant women in the company.[24] The lawsuit was settled the same year for an undisclosed amount of money.
Somebody clearly has gone in and hacked the genders of those in that passage. “T. Dan Winger” is in all likelihood “T. Diane Winger” with a quick, err snip. I took a screen cap to record the weirdness, which will probably be reversed in the not too distant future.
