@armanrules and kneeface:
You are the fail if you can’t see the fail. the fail is that it says rubbish not the actual headline. but its no longer a good fail as i had to explain it. FAIL

Beyond the heading, did anyone begin to read the article? The mini-headline or whatever reads “Nine Children in Contra Costa have tested probable for virus”
Probable? That’s a great test there. (fail)

also, ya’ll are hilarious.

1st, it’s not a default. the default (“dummy text”) won’t typeset, to prevent exactly this kind of thing. this is text a designer entered manually, as instructions to the desk. 2nd, it’s a 2-48-3 (not a 2-48-2, as the designer typed), as there are actually three lines of headline, not two.

As a copy editor/headline writer, the item that dangled is a participle, and the editor blew it.

I actually used to work for this paper, and if they are still running it the same way, this actually isn’t that hard to do. There’s so little actual checking between when the designer puts a page together to when it is sent to press. The fail comes from the press floor being so gloriously understaffed.
