Cool MICROSOFT GOOF-UP: Funny Microsoft Events Homepage Title

Guys

Thats really strange and hilarious finding.

I was just searching for webcasts at Microsoft.com and then I opened "Microsoft Events Homepage":

http://msevents.microsoft.com/

And guess what? I was surprised by seeing the title of the page:

WWE - Home page - Non-Authenticated

Whats it? Is it a WWE (Word Wrestling Entertainment) site homepage?



So just type the above mentioned URL and see the goof-up.

Maybe the Page Creator didnt know the <TITLE></TITLE> tags and he copied the code from his favorites site : WWE

lol
First I thought it may be "World Wide Events" but I was wondering why to choose such strange and similar page title?
It can lead to confusion and also I never saw "Non-Authenicated" written in page title of any Microsoft page.
