    Cringeworthy.

    Our local paper once run a photo of a group of elderly women on a bus trip. The caption read “You may want to crop out the old lady on the right because she’s dead now.”

    I think its safe to say the Copy Editor may have been fired for that one.

    That’s along the same idea of the misunderstood title, ‘Soldiers lose arms.’ There was a lot of talk about that one.

    This is where the CollegeHumour guy would come in with “PWNED”.

    Anyways, I love seeing other people’s stupid mistakes. Makes me feel good ;)

    That’s… just… stupid. Agree that someone somewhere is short a job because of this. Though the one about the old lady being dead is even more priceless, haha.
