Ha, You're Off By 4 Degrees! Where's My Prize? Wait, There IS No Prize? F That

Local TV weather gimmick: the 3-degree guarantee, in which they predict the high temp and then tease the actual number so you'll tune in and see if they got it right. Which they always do, because it's 3 degrees EITHER WAY, meaning there's a 6-degree spread. Of COURSE they get it right. And if they don't? Well, you don't win anything. So, what's the point? No point at all other than that people love shiny objects. (Washington Post)
