      I noticed it too. I know it's fashionable not to give a damn about spelling or grammar anymore, but it's still like fingernails on a chalkboard to me (and I'm an engineer, so that's saying something).

      I saw that dumb thing years ago and I still don't understand why it fascinates people. Is it supposed to be funny?

      If I stare at the screen long enough will I see a space shuttle or something hidden in the animation?

      Heck, I'm in my mid-40s so maybe it's a "kid thing" that I'll never comprehend. I'll go back to watching FoxNews now....

      Yes, but I go to the University of Wisconsin. Ergo, I AM a Badger. Therefore, the "badger" part is assumed. As for the mushrooms......ever been to Madison, Wisconsin?

      The sad part is I didn't notice the name at first.
      I wouldn't normally have responded to grammatical errors because I think people who do that tend to be assholes. However, this was on the front page of a news site.
