Proofreading is a dying art, wouldn't you say?




Man Kills Self Before Shooting Wife and Daughter
This one I caught in the SGV Tribune the other day and called the Editorial Room and asked who wrote this. It took two or three readings before the editor realized that what he was reading was impossible!!! They put in a correction the next day.






I just couldn't help but send this along. Too funny...

Now that you've smiled at least once, it's your turn to spread the stupidity and send this to someone you want to bring a smile to (maybe even a chuckle). We all need a good laugh, at least once a day!

Not really. The amazing thing is how many we get right. And most of those are old classics (I'm sure I've posted that list before, probably in self-defense).

Here are some more:

1) Kansas barely avoids upset bug (that cockroach was pissed)
2) Federal judge hears arguments in oilman's suit (and, damn, he looked good in it)
3) Beating cops off easy? (from story about verdict in Rodney King trial; yes, it was an A1 banner; and, yes, I was off that day.)
4) Head gets three years in prison
5) Mauled to Death: Glamour Investigates the Horrific Dog Attack in San Francisco That Killed Diane Whipple in an Exclusive Interview With Victim's Partner (Really? She was killed during an exclusive interview? See, journalism can be dangerous.)

Oh, what the heck, how about some more?
