CNN just launched CNNChallenge, which is a too-Flashy quiz site. I'd love CNNChallenge if it actually worked. But it doesn't, so I don't. I had enough trouble answering questions about real news as it was (Truemors and shameless pandering being my faves)... however, when the graphics kept bogging down without stopping the clock, I got mad and left. Hey, CNN- it's not fair to keep running down the clock when Christiane Amanpour freezes in mid-admonition. Maybe because I kept asking her for her number. And hey, aren't they cartoons from the waist down? Her feet look fake. 

Anyway, CNNChallenge is like an overwrought version of BBC's weekly quiz. Still, it's fun to pretend that you're on a broken game show, so I guess you should give it a try.

When I finally got sick of the messed-up Flash, I was at over 50%. Hey, that's not bad... right?
