This is from a major Philadelphia, PA newspaper, dated 23 August, 2011.I'm not laughing, and if you read the story, neither should you. In fact, if you read the entire sports section, neither should you. Not only is "Laughter" spelled wrong in size 56 print, there is no story, article, or clever pun in the whole of the sports section, let alone the two potentially related articles.
For committing acts of shame in such big, bold print, I award the Tin Medal of Foolishness. I also beseech the editor to immediately un-retire from whatever sport he left, and leave journalism to the professionals.
Ah, but if that is the major Philly newspaper that I seem to recognize, then it's not surprising that such an error was made.
ReplyDeleteDot sent me the link to your blog which she got from Mrs. William West Anderson's facebook page. Thanks for the laughs!
