Channel Four, WTMJ-TV, reported yesterday that Mayfair Mall will be using face recognition software to screen the mall for criminals. One problem, Channel Four broadcast the April 1st fabrication by WauwatosaNOW's Peter Hart without first checking with Mayfair. I wouldn't have known about it if the
Journal Sentinel hadn't pointed it out today.
His blog looked legitimate. I would've fallen for it too.
Another April Fools joke is Sunday's
Journal Sentinel endorsement of Linda Clifford for Supreme Court. A day later the Journal Sentinel is issuing a
cease and desist order to her for her automated phone calls. Turns out the calls sounded too much like they were being made by the Journal Sentinel. They endorsed her but probably didn't want to
endorse her.
