While many viewers and listeners experienced the test without a hitch, as soon as 2 p.m. ET hit there were reports of problems in cities across the country. Some people never saw an alert, others said the audio was distorted and there were even claims that Lady Gaga’s song “Paparazzi” was playing instead of the correct audio.
Oh, a screw up? Thank God! I thought Lady Gaga was the emergency.
I quite nearly soiled my armor.
Seriously, it was a test. I'm sure we learned enough from the test to make it work without a hitch--or fewer hitches, anyway. God forbid we should face an actual Lady Gaga attack, but I'd want to know.
