Title: Our local newspaper printed the "F" word today..... Post by: droner on December 02, 2011, 12:23:38 EST I don't mean it was printed with * or % or #. It was printed in full.
It was in an AP article on the UGA/LSU game. There were two normal paragraphs, then there in a paragraph all by itself was the word. Not capitalized. I can honestly say that I've never seen that happen before. :toothless: Title: Re: Our local newspaper printed the "F" word today.....

Oh yeah was mailed to whole company too. The best line was the part “managing the attitude of employees that has shift work is difficulty at times” Title: Re: Our local newspaper printed the "F" word today.....

The best line was the part “managing the attitude of employees that has shift work is difficulty at times” :biggrin: Isn't it amazing how those things happen...and no one catches them? In my case, we were running a story about Tennessee's state parks incorporating the Internet for reservations and other things. It just happened to be an incredibly slow news cycle, so the story made it to the front page. For some reason, one of our typesetters took the finished (and edited) story, printed it out, and then used software to scan the document back in to Microsoft Word. Apparently, Microsoft word reads "cl" as "d". It was SUPPOSED to read, "Reservations for state parks are now just a mouse click away." But... :biggrin: My publisher at the time didn't find it nearly as funny as I did. He wrote me up and nearly demoted me. :dance: More recently (last year), our ad designer messed up on a grocery ad...and nobody caught it. "Corn and beans, 89c/can" came out as "Porn and beans, 89c/can." :biggrin: The bad thing about that is you type "C" and "P" with opposite hands. So it couldn't hardly be called a typo...we know where his mind was at. I can't imagine letting the "F" word filter through. That would be embarrassing. |
