CNN Blames Human Error for Obituaries Mistake
NEW YORK - CNN blamed human error Thursday for exposing obituary mock-ups that its Web site's designers had prepared for Ronald Reagan , Bob Hope and other prominent figures.
The mock-ups had been on a development site meant for internal review. But the public briefly had access to them after the password protection got disabled.
CNN was investigating the cause of the error, which was discovered and fixed Wednesday. CNN spokeswoman Edna Johnson said technicians were trying to determine how long the mock-ups had been exposed through the development site, which was not directly accessible from the main CNN.com news site.

Fortunately, I don't think Ronnie & Bob would even be aware of anything going on...

Oops!
They should make the password so unintelligable.....it can never happen again! I've tried this as a game at a party once..........I called it, "Sentences that will never, ever be spoken by anyone......for any reason".
Example: Turtles squeek, while labia's roam countries that are made of gouda cheese and cow pies.
Now there's something you'll never hear anyone else, but me, even attempt to utter. I am in password heaven in my world. LMFAO!

One of the more interesting things I learned while doing my journalism degree was that news organizations plan obits of famous people well in advance (especially those in poor health like the former President and Bob Hope). It makes complete sense but I never really thought about it before.
