Hey Ted, here's a classic case of the mainstream media (specifically the AP) editing an article without notice.

First, here's Mas posting the article regarding the EU's record fine against Intel:

Message 25640689

Mas' copy-n-paste job includes a joke that Neelie the Terrible cracked:

> Kroes joked that Intel would now have to change its latest global ad campaign -- "sponsors of tomorrow" -- to proclaiming "the sponsor of the European taxpayer."

Now follow the actual link:

finance.yahoo.com

The joke doesn't appear in that article. No sign that the article was edited, other than what Mas posted.

Thanks to Google, other news media sources confirm that the joke was real and not a figment of poor reporting:

I know the liberal idea is to kiss our enemies *ss and hope they'll like us for it.
