Clarification.

We hope you enjoyed today's RED ALERT posts. On any other day, you would have seen the same posts without the RED ALERT header. In layman's terms, what we're trying to say is that today was like any other day, except we just put RED ALERT everywhere. Not to scare you, of course. Just to make you aware that threats are real—an unfortunate fact that has been a reality for many years now. In NO WAY were we trying to distract you from the escalated violence in the Middle East, rising unemployment or global warming. The NB, like the government, takes those issues very seriously and would NEVER, EVER lead you astray by using scary words in pretty colors to make you pay attention to something that's not there.

Got it?

Good.
