    Bwahahahahaha! What a dip ****! Then again I have seen the local papers try to describe a 350 Chevy 3 times and get it wrong, all 3 times. Then there was the time a friends race car broke the rear suspension, and had the paper report he broke a 'hind' (heim :rolleyes: ) joint. Oh well I guess at least he figured it was a Willys.

    Aww, give him a break. You should have seen my reaction the first time I read the words "PT Cruizer" in print.

    Don't we all make those kinds of mistakes?


    Yea, I guess you're right, slow sperm won that time...

    The other thing you gotta think about is how many other things they don't know **** about. Then proceed to write about them like they do.

    Haha! made my day!

    It should be illigal to print out articles or notes which contain faulty information. Some news reporters are so damn ignorance. They just do something so it can be printed. Faulty info or not.

    Its just like if a car mechanic should bolt the 5 bolted wheel with just 2 bolts after mounting a new disc. Unfinnished job.
