What's wrong with this news article?

COLORADO SPRINGS (KRDO) -- A Colorado Springs' shop has a sign up that sent one customer into a frenzy. The sign reads: "Sorry, we are not a daycare center. Please control your children." It's hanging on the front door of the British Home Shoppe on Academy Boulevard.

The message on the store's sign apparently prompted a customer to grab items in the shop and start throwing them around. The store's owner, Richard Jones, says the woman threw items at his mother and then at him. Jones then decided to stun the customer with a taser to get her to stop. He is being charged with assault. The woman, is also facing charges, though they have not been released.

There is something in this article that has left me extremely perturbed. Can anyone figure out what it is?

    You don't smoke crystal meth through a burrito, Futore. Every smack addict knows that.

    Yes, I know and that makes it all the worse!

    It's like editors don't even exist any more or something. Shit, you don't even need an editor for something like that - anyone who's being paid to write for a living should be able to tell that's not right!

    plus, it's not even like an 'i've gotta get this out immediately or it's worthless' story. the guy's got a stupid little anecdote that could have happened two months ago for all we know and care, but he still doesn't have time to read over his second paragraph

    Teefs, remember how i said during L4D that I was eating a half pound of pasta seasoned only in Crystal and garlic salt?

    yeah that other half pound is calling my name so hard. i might actually season it properly this time, though with some organic ground chipotle pepper that i get from a local market.


    what kind of macncheese?
