Silly Journalists

Anyone notice anything, well, a bit "off" about the caption to this "breaking news" headline from Fox News yesterday afternoon?

Silly caption writers.

1 I once called a newspaper to ask about a caption of a photo showing a man standing in the waist gunners position on a WW2 bomber. They had it as "waste gunner"....they ran the same photo two weeks later with the same caption. I called back and asked the editor if the proof reader was in fact a 5 year old or simply stupid.....he said "Idon't know, I'll have to call you back on that."

2 I guess when you called it was the proof reader's nap time...

3 I want to know what they are aiming at!!! Must be a fly or a bird. Oh wait... they're looking the wrong way! ;-)

4 If they're aiming, someone needs to take their guns away and explain to them how to aim...

5 Kender, that was just too funny! (Better than the cow joke, which should be on Social Security by now, Ogre, tsk tsk.)
