Slog - Comments on You Are Not Alone http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/07/you_are_not_alone 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....

Really, Charles, newspapers have articles too. You can read them.

Black boys are delicious
Chocolate flavored love
Licorice lips like candy
White boys are so lovely
Beautiful as girls
I love to run my fingers
And toes through all their curls

Stepin Fetchit was entertaining, Taco Bell Chalupas are delicious, and irony did not die on 9/11.

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)
