Colombian Rainbow Boa emerges from a toilet, causes a spelling error to UPI editor

The first sentence of the article spells the reptile's brand correctly:

A full-sized boa constrictor slithered out of a toilet at a public relations firm in Southern California last week, according to a press release from the company.
The headline, however, is a bit off:

Boa constricter emerges from office toilet in San Diego

But it's happened in California, and people are naturally het up about all things happening there.Thus no wonder a typo creeps in.

By the way: is there any connection between boa constrictors and PR? Just asking.

I'm surprised it only caused a spelling error. A heart attack might have been more appropriate.

Independent Sentinel gets my vote (sorry Snoopy). Also, it's an outrage that 2000 people murdered in Nigeria in a single day was a non-event and that there is exactly zero help from the west in fighting Boko Haram.

Apparently the lady survived.

Yep, I agree. BBC is riddled by these shites.

"Daily Mail comments are very supportive of Wilcox"

Doesn't surprise me at all.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

In fact, the lack of support from the West should be blamed mostly on Nigerian government that refused such help.

According to Hamas, anything could be used for that sacred mission.

This time (in Paris) he didn't even go that far. Too busy, you know...

Stanley, Snoop, how would you like to taking a shower and this bad boy shows up

And now we have the Guardian using poor, mad Deborah Maccoby as its puppet to blame the Jews for being murdered.


Snoopy - only you can do justice to layers of wrongness contained in this letter and only you can spell out the Guardian's game:

Wow. And where that one appeared?

SnoopyTheGoon said...

Oh boy... where does one start? OK. soon as I get rid of that current bout of flu... thanks for the tip anyway.

In someone's bathroom, just outside the shower. If it was me I don't know about any typos, but I would suddenly have a stutter I never had before.

SnoopyTheGoon said...

I agree. It's a good reason to get back to the bathroom in a hurry.
