And That's the News!

Remember when we posted this error made by the Miami Herald in our Miami Heat article?

Miami Heat 2011 Champions! (Miami Herald)
That time we actually had a playful argument that maybe the Miami Herald's editor was really pissed at the Heat for losing what was deemed by many a championship that was rightfully theirs.  Then again, the Herald's editor could have been anti-Heat fan and just waited for the right time to rub the salt on the wounded Miami Heat franchise.  Maybe he was from Cleveland and felt a bit slighted by LeBron Jame's move from Cleveland to Miami.  We'll never know.

Since the NBA is on a hiatus... in case you haven't heard, the NBA owners locked-out the NBA players in a labor dispute where Millionaires (players) are fighting against Billionaires (owners) as to who has the right to earn more money from the business... This is a pretty lame argument for us.  We guess greed really takes the better of even people who won't run out of money.

But enough of the NBA rant! We started this post with an old post because we stumbled ourselves across very interesting newspaper clippings.

Now that is editing!
We don't really know if the layout was made intentionally... but we have to say that the probability for this happening "by chance" is simply close to nil!  maybe the layout artist or the Editor was the model for the underwear, no?  Or maybe they just a great sense of humor like us!

Detroit Blows
We're thinking the Editor was either laughing his heart out or died of a heart attack when he read the morning papers!  Damn!  The picture in itself is a great capture, but the Headline just takes to a whole different level!  We think this would have been more humiliating for Detroit than the actual loss to the Minnesota Vikings would have brought!

Dad Gets Head Job!
It's not what you think...  But yeah that's what we thought as well when we first read this clipping!  Common man!   There should be some other way to phrase that! And they showed a pretty picture of what we think is the excited daughter with her mouth wide open to boot!

Rangers Whiff Colon!
That may not have been such a good idea after all right?  The Sports Editor must have whiffed a lot of it as well to keep his job!  What in the world were they thinking?  Could it have been published in April Fool's Day?  Well that's the basics of newspaper editing!
