Speechcasting going funny bij de NOS

I am a big fan of podcasts, it helpt to overcome the trafficjames on the A9. I am a big fan of "web 2.0", reusing /combining content in a smarter way. Part of "two dot ooohh" is IMHO speechcasting. Reading out via synthesized voices HTML text you can take take them with you on your iPOD, see an older posting.

The NOS.nl has since some time the readspeaker integration where you can select an option to let the text be spoken out to you, seehear for example this dutch posting about old politics that don't get the new style.

I haven't found an XSS exploit in the NOS.nl site (old ones have been patched) so I can use this for my own site. But what if you enter a 404 ("web page not found") URL in the readspeaker?

listen

The Dutch is fine. But the Dutch robot reading the English text in the second part, is funnier then Rutgers stonecoalenglish.
