    Journalism Warning Labels: An Idea Whose Time Has Come

    A great idea from Tom Scott's Making Stuff Happen Blog - Journalism Warning Labels!

    It seems a bit strange to me that the media carefully warn about and label any content that involves sex, violence or strong language — but there's no similar labelling system for, say, sloppy journalism and other questionable content. I figured it was time to fix that, so I made some stickers. I've been putting them on copies of the free papers that I find on the London Underground. You might want to as well....

    Great idea!

    How about "This article is a poorly disguised advert"
