This Washington Post newspaper clipping, entitled a “A Flick to Brighten Anyone’s Day,” involves a film review of No Country For Old Men. While this review’s title would be bizarre enough on its own, an unintentional above-and-below-the-fold placement results in what looks like a boldfaced suggestion of “A F*ck To Brighten Anyone’s Day.” To that, I have absolutely no response.
Thanx to AdRants for the giggle.

THAT’S what my day’s been missing.
Hey, I’m used to RW showing up here and leaving occasional drunk comments, but where have you been lately, jvon? I thought you were, like, stuck in an elevator shaft or something.
I got a job with a sex toy company and I’ve been extremely busy.
I’m not even making that up.
I remember reading long ago that that comic book publishers would not use the word “FLICK” because the ink would bleed on the absorbent paper. Guess the WaPo doesn’t think of things like that.
[...] Quite the catchy headline in the Washington Post (ABH) [...]
