The Downside Of Coffee

I found this on Shoptalk, a daily broadcast news newsletter, this morning:

NN-LEKA-7:45-DELAY-WHY?

URGENT

STATIONS:

Our Claire Leka 7:45pm et pkg/insert/looklive will be DELAYED. It will not be available for the 7:59:30pm et Live Generic because …. we plugged in our coffee and blew out our circuits. No kidding. We’ll try to get the piece out just after 8pm et. ….and we will try to better manage our caffeine consumption so this doesn’t happen again. We apologize for the inconvenience.

We’ll be using the 3:30pm et insert for the 7:59:30pm et live generic.
