The craptastic website for WRC-TV featured an article called "West Virginia Discovers The Internet."
Of course, hilarity did not ensue.

Re: NBC DC makes fun of WV, "apologizes"
Had he been a better writer, he could've pulled this off...Following a firestorm of criticism from the bloggers, NBC Washington released this statement, "The article intended to take a tongue in cheek approach. However, upon further review, we have removed it from our website. We apologize to anyone who might have been offended by its content."
I'm more offended by the tactless writing than by the shameless stereotypes, that most people with half a brain know are false anyway.
