A photo of Gene Masseth and "Heywood Jablome" digging a car out of a snowdrift has gone viral. It's only funny if you say the names out loud. Apparently, though, a reporter from the Fargo Forum didn't quite get it, and Heywood Jablome's fake name made it past the reporter and the editors and into the print edition.
Somewhat rude, but come on- also pretty funny. At least my neighbor, Hugh Jass, thinks so.
By the way, Forum staffers, way to employ those vaunted “multiple layers of editing and fact-checking” we always hear about when you guys want to jump all over blogs for being inaccurate.

Too bad the Fargo Forum sucks at their news stories. They're like FOX News; paper edition.

Um, it's "Haywood" not "Heywood" At least give the Forum points for spelling it correctly (maybe a copy editor on the blog *IS* warranted?)
