We do enjoy a good newspaper headline mistake around here, from “analize the analytics” to “Iowa wary of Frazier” to Packers’ center Ringo Starr to Aaron/Keith Hernandez to “Jack off to promising start.” And the latest one comes from the Jamestown, New York Post-Journal, which ran a headline (for an AP story with an appropriate headline) of “Julia Roberts finds life and her holes get better with age” Saturday:

Are we not doing phrasing anymore? At least they did later correct it:

Now that’s a correction. Hopefully the Post-Journal will do a little more proofreading next time.
