That's "over-sensitive" to you, dickwad

The article doesn't say what the word was, but since it's South Carolina I guess it could have been 'thighs'.

In their defense, the "Enter" and "fark" keys are so close to each other.

Layout guy's editorial on yet another trite, predictable sports feature.

And of course if they printed a picture of some guy getting shot, they'd have no problem with that.


No, I don't really have a point...sorry.

What probably happened: "I don't think my editors are doing their job. Let's find out."

Was the word "Yankee"?

Perhaps someone at the paper was getting laid off that night.

You have to hand it to them, though, dropping the f-bomb in print is fairly unprecedented.

Now, that's unfounded prejudice right there. Some of the finest cursing I've ever heard came from South Carolina. The best came from the stockroom of a KMart I worked in many years ago.

The Philadelphia Inquirer did it in August of last year. Here's (new window) an article from the Citypaper about it.

Was it the margarine ad?

Few years ago, someone snuck an ad for BJ's (all spelled out) at $25 each through a local classified publication. The phone number went directly through a switchboard to the maintenance dept. of a large local plant (that I won't name, but is known nationwide).

The apology for that one was classic.... trying to apologize without saying what it was they were so very, very sorry for.

(human) proofreaders miss things too.

However, given how easily a newspaper could add a "bad-word" flag that would prevent this sort of thing from ever happening, it's pretty embarrassing for them. Seriously, I could take care of their problem in five minutes in Word.

I don't find it so "scary" that some people are afraid of certain molecules. There are some pretty scary molecules out there that can fark yo shyte up!

My employer can afford me. But I work cheap. Because as long as reporters spell the word "administration" as "admiration," proofreaders will be needed.
