Just pulled the latest issue of Columbia Journalism Review out of my mailbox. Can't wait to spend hours reveling in all the happy news about journalism. But, first, as always, I checked the back inside cover for "The Lower Case," a compendium of messed up but absolutely real headlines. A lot of sex in this edition (not uncommon in Lower Case history) and nothing to rival my all time favorite: "Nixon to Stand Pat on Watergate Tapes."
But for those who share my delight in these typos and accidental and double entendres, here are some from the new batch:
"Santana scratched because of sore elbow." (New York Times.)
"Reasons for Increase in Births Among Teens Remains Unclear." (Wash Post.)
"Stimulus package: What it means for hurting consumers." (Seattle Times.)
"Boeing airliner orders nosdedive." (Bellingham (WA) Herald.)
"Abortion hurting birth rates in Canada." (Dalhousie Gazette (of Halifax.))
"Cross country runner finally gets shot at state championships." (The Journal (El Cerrito, CA.))
"Doctors and Mental Health Professionals Volunteer to Help Torture Survivors." (HealthRight International.)
