British TV Show 'Blackout' Triggers Online LOLs

Posted by timothy on from the if-you-can-read-this-message-the-internet-is-down dept.

judgecorp writes "Britain's Channel 4 screened Blackout, a drama about a cyber-attack which crashes the national power grid. The show was silly enough, with a strong message about the dangers of lighting candles in such a situation, but the Twitter responses were even better. The show terrified some viewers who apparently didn't realise that their TV screen was powered by the grid."

    Never use 'whom'. Simple rule that guarantees correct American English.
