Hedy Hey, A Pretty Great Print Error From The Sun-Times

Yes, editors and writers are humans and we make mistakes (despite what many commenters think) but sometimes you see an error so obvious, that you can't help but laugh. I mean c'mon, who didn't enjoy a hearty chuckle when that adorable kitten took over the Chicago Tribune's website last year? So when we saw this page from today's Sun-Times, we couldn't help but stifle a laugh while we felt some sort of solidarity with the poor soul who let this go to print:

It caught the attention of managing editor of the Sun-Times, Craig Newman, who looked into it so Finfer could at least know what the print edition was suppose to say:
@BenFinfer @JulieDiCaro Because I know you're dying to know the headline (was like that in our system) pic.twitter.com/kScuOpmeUw

Our thoughts are with the copy editor who let this slide by. We've all been there, buddy, and hey, at least it's Friday?
