Buy One for LeBron

Oops.
And now, from the, “Dewey Defeats Truman” file, we give you: “Congratulations Miami!”

That’s how a near-full page newspaper ad read in Monday morning’s Miami Herald. In the mother of all mistakes — or should that be the “King James” of all mistakes? — somebody in the Herald’s composing department inadvertently slapped the wrong Macy’s advertisement in the newspaper, promoting Miami Heat “championship” T-shirts and hats being for sale at the department store.

It’s common for print publications to have two display ads ready to go in championship events. T-shirt manufacturers do the same thing. But what makes this mistake unusual is the Heat trailed the NBA finals three games to two going into Sunday night’s game and were not yet in a position to win the best-of-seven series.

But the lamers at the NYTimes are still sifting through thousands of Sarah Palin's emails and hoping to find something. Isn't it great we have the media to look out for us.

And they're soo smart too. Look at all the dirt they found on that guy Weiner. Or was that a guy named Breitbart who did that? Oh pshaaww... who cares.
