Awesomely bad lede of the Day

I love the reference to "the internet world." And yes, I realize this is a translation. But still:

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia - A teen who wanted an apple Macintosh computer (mac) for Christmas after seeing one of the ubiquitous apple ads on the apple website, but instead got to inherit his father’s older Windows PC, finally got mad early Saturday morning and threw out the inherited Dell PC out of the window in a bizarre case of life imitating “the internet world”.

The 16 year old boy, Dam Enkhbayar, threw out the computer after it froze while he was downloading video files online. The boy said, “If this had been a Macintosh, I never would've had this problem."

Read the rest here (if you're masochistic)

That is awesomely bad. Almost as bad as:

"THE White Castle on East Fordham Road in the Bronx shimmered as if glazed."

(Unless someone from this school wrote it. Then I mean 'bad' as in 'good.' Mazel tov. Loved your Times clip!!)
