I just saw something I've never, ever seen before on television. At the bottom of the screen during the Crystal Palace - Fulham match on Fox Sports World was the following message:
Due to solar outages, we are experiencing technical difficulties.
Just let that sink in for a while. Due to solar outages, they were experiencing technical difficulties. Put aside for a moment the fact that, as far as I could tell, the broadcast seemed pretty normal. What the hell is a "solar outage"? The best I can come up with is that the sun went out. Granted, I was at work and not near a window when TiVo grabbed the match for me, but still, if the sun had gone out, I think I would have known.
Apparently the "world" in Fox Sports World isn't the same one as ours, if they're so profoundly affected by other suns. That would explain Allan Hopkins, anyway.
