it's funny, because it's true?

stevew said...

I hate when that happens.

Dirty minds think alike.

It's the Jamestown (NY) Post-Journal, If you were wondering like me...

CORRECTION: A headline in Saturday's Post-Journal should have read "Julia Roberts Finds Life And Her Roles Get Better With Age".

No, it shouldn't have.

Thanks rehajm, I couldn't figure out what the word was supposed to be.

I had to print the correction to set up my punch line, Tim.

There are no holes in my research

-Julia Roberts in Erin Brockovich (via Amazon Prime)

I figured that they'd forget a 'R', that it was supposed to be:
"Julia Roberts Finds Life And Her Holes Get Better With Rage".

I'm still waiting to see if she meets Dick the birthday boy. I'm sure Rich Evans is looking forward to being reunited.

Her asset is the smile. She never did tits as far as I know.

chillblaine said...

hahaha! they finally got something right, not fake news!

fam my new vid is about, uh, groypers, just helping to pump up a fellow content creator and maybe make a new fren. Ok, Groypers: Weird, or Just Misunderstood thanks for checking, later sports fans!

When I first saw that I wondered whether Althouse would be able to resist blogging it. She did not disappoint.

stevew said...

When I first read it my mind swapped in an R for the H and left me wondering why the headline was a problem.

Hooker Chemical polluted Love Canal, giving the headline Feds Sue Hooker to Clean Love Canal.

Patrick said...

Too bad get acting won't also improve.

Curious George said...

She be, at best, half right.

Dust Bunny Queen said...

Are we still talking about older women being "fuckable"?

I've always thought her mouth reminded me of Senor Wences' "Johnny".

Congrats to Ms. Roberts! Not every woman can say that. But if more women's holes did improve with age, the world would be a much happier place. Perhaps we can amend Obamacare to cover the "holistic" treatments Roberts has been receiving.

Holy smokes!

Reminds me of the old song by the Police...

Hole in My Wife.

Oh... Never mind.

Bob Boyd said...

Roberts has a rather large pie hole.

Fake news! Sad.

Sebastian said...

Typo or gaffe?

William said...

The mockery would have been so much more inspired and enjoyable if the typo had hagppened to Meryl Streep.. In my heart of hearts, I cannot bring myself to hate Julia Roberts. She needs to become more active politically or develop a more lurid sex life. For a major motion picture star, she's surprisingly inert.

walter said...

Apparently she hasn't shut it down..down there.

I guess I lack the vocabulary or brain power. When I read it, I assumed it was a big error, and thought the word missed was Parts. Roles in obviously the answer.

parts does work for the sexual theme though

Ken B said...

This is why Ashley Judd talks about women's orifices. And you all scoffed!

Yancey Ward said...

I watched Roberts' latest series on Amazon Prime, "Homecoming". I liked it, and have always liked her. She is still extremely fuckable.

This one is a particular challenge for the fact checkers.

Big Mike said...

It's the Jamestown (NY) Post-Journal, If you were wondering like me...

Well I just knew it couldn’t be the New York Times because they assure us that they have “layers and layers” of editors and fact-checkers.

Yancey Ward said...

For my money, though, Roberts was never more fuckable than when she did Conspiracy Theory.

Typos are much harder to find in headlines than in regular prose. There was a famous front-page headline typo on the election of FDR that was supposed to say Eleanor Roosevelt Becomes First Lady of Land (apparently people already knew and liked her). The typo was in the fifth word; they left out the d... I believe they reprinted the edition with the correct head.
