Very funny, but this could happen because of another thing, sometimes the newspaper companies nowadays has systems that reads RSS feeds and customizable news items delivered to their systems of their choice..

So I'm guessing this news just appear in their system and without checking the correctness of the story they straight away send it for printing....

Well.... no matter how the way you look at it, it looks unprofessional!!!!

And if that's the case, this is a fine example of "Without human element, total dependency on technology could do"
