Hey Motorola, there's a time and a place for ads. A severe weather warning is neither.


At least there isn't a captcha.

I wasn't expecting what happened when I did, though: I was directed to some Motorola system application (with an Ad at the bottom of it) and a red banner to click through for information about the storm. I get it that nobody is going to be driving into an ice storm and checking its current location from behind the wheel, so this isn't really life and death, but still. Broadcast television and radio stations need some way to pay the bills and stay in business so they don't disappear like WHFS did.
