DIM BULBS: The anonymous cyber whiz who came up with the idea of adding a “shank” – i.e. knifing somebody — as part of Facebook’s SuperPoke! application and the Facebook editor who approved it.
WHY IT’S DIM: Facebook has taken the feature down following protests in Britain, which has recently experienced a wave of murders involving knives. At least 21 youths have died in London in such cases this year.
CURE: Cyber editors should read the newspapers once in a while.
