Careless or Thoughtless? Yeah, Stupid

This speaks for itself...

April Fool's edition draws protest
April 2, 2005
BOSTON

An April Fool's Day edition of the student newspaper at the University of Massachusetts at Boston drew complaints from a Jewish community group yesterday for its depiction of UMass President Jack Wilson as Adolf Hitler. The altered photograph, which superimposed Wilson's face on an image of Hitler, ''displays a profound insensitivity," leaders of the Jewish Community Relations Council of Greater Boston said in a statement. A spokesman for Wilson called the prank ''appalling and tasteless." Nancy Derby, a UMass student and the editor of the Mass Media, issued an apology and said the image was meant as satire. Two members of the paper's staff resigned yesterday, she said.

ӏ do have 2 questіons for you if іt's okay. Could it be only me or do a few of these remarks come across like they are written by brain dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing at other places, I'd like to follοw you.
