Tell me this didn’t happen

[Dionysus]

A friend sent me this today. LBJ School of what?

Unfortunately

They could have just asked anyone on Lyndon's staff.

PLEASE let that be a photoshop joke.......now if the school were named after Bill Clinton......

EDIT: cross posted with notanative. It's true. YIKES!(tm)

POOR AGGI- wait... DoH!

 

[Sangre Naranjada]

You people didn't know that before this thread? Unbelievable.

 

[BurntOrangeOnly]

Well, some of us aren't as plugged in to Austin or the campus on a day in and day out basis as others, so yes it was news.

That also happened in the late 70s/early 80s as well.

You should see their graduation ceremony, what with their genitalia, I mean regalia, and all.

Hey, my bad on the earlier post. I read it as "Public Affairs" and only saw the misprint in the photo on second viewing. Yowza!

As education reporter at the Temple Daily Telegram, I used to have to cover the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor. I can't tell you how many times I typed Mary Hardon-Baylor. Thank God either I or an editor always caught it.

I've also typed "pubic hairing" instead of public hearing when I was covering the city council. My Freudian slip really shows when I type. Thankfully, that little typo never made it into print.

Another reporter at the TDT was not so lucky. She was doing a story about an even that was going to give out free items of clothing. She typed "T--shits" -- and it made it into the paper.

It's too bad people aren't born with spell-check built in.

 

[Horn6721]

cool
spell check is everyone's friend
but it wouldn't have caught that mistake
that needed a human brain

LBJ might have been laughed out loud, but the rest of us, not so much.

 

[notanative]

Given the level of acceptance of poor grammar and construction in our Tweet/All-thumbs/Facebook world of communications these days, this will be a very short-lived item, for sure.

and then there was the kid from the hill country who got his picture in the local paper with the caption explaining how he **** his first deer.

As a long time employee of the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts I will say: it happens. Now, the time that blue zinger went out with the from field being "From: Bob Bullcock" was a pretty special situation -- not that Bob minded.

 

[lhbruleshalftime]

Oh yeah, LBJ would have winked and said "What's the big deal?"

Dear This,

Yours Truly,

I saw the picture, but did it actually get posted somewhere on or near campus?

 

[Dionysus]

I think it was mailed out to the families.

It did happen. I read it on yahoo news last week.
Administration caught the error after mailing out the invitations to the students' families. It was promptly corrected and the invitations re-sent.
