From Lee Pyne-Mercier:
Dear Charles,
I’m not sure if I’m the only person who noticed this non-sensical headline from Friday’s Tacoma News Tribune. But I just can’t fathom how this came out of a newsroom and made it to the front page…
Lee, you are one among the many who are amazed by the very idea (the notion) of delicious diversity.
I only eat dark meat.
Lioke should read like...
like I think I type in like and it comes out lioke.... the text editor at the Seattle Library or just the fact that I have fat fingers....lol you are a slut.
Yeah, Lee, you racist.
I am fucking losing my mind, wasn't there a picture of a guy going down on a woman just a minute ago where the diversity jpeg is now?
@4, I saw the same thing and puked. Who would fucking eat pussy? Meat is what I eat: long hard fat man meat! DELICIOUS!!!!
that's a pic from "studio" in the strangR flikR pool. if you use your imagination, maybe it is meat.
Meow.
I think delicious diversity refers to ethnic foods. Really, Charles, newspapers have articles too. You can read them.
Jeffrey Dahmer was simply ahead of his time.
Were you around in 1968?

Further evidence that "diversity" is a code word for "the co-optation and subsequent disembowelment of racial justice." Stepin Fetchit was entertaining, Taco Bell Chalupas are delicious, and irony did not die on 9/11.
Looks like a good old-fashioned production error to me: a copy editor or page designer added some placeholder teaser text and forgot to update it, and no one caught the error before the paper was printed. This is why good proofreaders should be adored and richly rewarded.
A brief survey of embarrassing production errors I was part of at my college paper:
Referring to Sherman Alexie as "Alexie Sherman" in a cover teaser
Not catching a page designer's sensitive cutline -- "Oh my leaking heart" -- for a photo of a young man with a congenital heart defect
And the classic ... getting the date on the paper wrong (many, many times)
