You can't make this up.



















Ok class: Can you find the irony in this post on The Jackson Free Press website?

Clue: Click on the picture to get the larger version. Look at the story about Chief Anderson and then read the sidebar with the cover of the current issue.

hehehehehe.

Since some of you are thinking its the Sheriff's name, that is not where the error is. Go check the spelling of "Sheriff".

Update:
A JFP poster caught additional errors (and for the record, I'm voting for Malcolm):

"Awesome article! However, I caught a few errors that you might want to fix:There aren’t any if, ands or buts about it.Change "if" to "ifs".In 2004, the murder dropped to its lowest level in 440 years, joining all seven major crime categories for that year.I don't think this place has been around for 440 years. :-)The key to that is for the taxpayers to get the full benefit of what they’re paying for, for the Sheriff’s Department to step up to the plate and work the with (JPD) to help until they both can get on their feetDid you mean "with the"?McMillin said that his insufficient county budget forces him to rely more heavily upon eyes in the community and his staff of about 65 un-paid reserve officers.No hyphen needed.I spoke with (the founder), and he’s excited about coming to the jails and working with the fathers who have children outside of being incarcerated, to let them know that they have a responsibilities. Leave out "a"."

They misspelled the Sheriff's name. There's supposed to be an "a" in there somewhere.

Kingfish said...

an a? "a" as in ass or jackass which is what that they were being for calling out the Chief on a typo?

There are plenty of things to criticize Anderson over but this is just plain childish and shows a lack of maturity.

Especially given that their hero - I'm-out-to-ruin-Jackson-Faye-Peterson - is functionally illiterate.

Kingfish said...

Look at my post that says criminal justice system.... over in my list of favorite posts.

Ms Ladd would ask for specific cases when Peterson's competence was questioned. I brought that one up and guess what? There was never a response. I was just told there was an interesting story behind it. Uh huh. Can we say Faye intentionally threw the case?

Faye's a joke and everybody knows it.

I'm off to put up Robert Smith signs.

I live in Fondren. The DA's race is the important one to me. Another 4 years of Faye and I'm calling the "I'll buy your house for cash" guys.

McMillin is actually spelled correctly. Amazingly.

Kingfish said...

ah I see. They mispelled "sheriff".

I think he's changed his name because it used to be McMillian and that's how the JFP used to spell it.

Gatepost said...

This is such a classic and so incredibly funny.

Kingfish said...

Thanks. Its staying in the archives to by the way. Definite possibility it will make the favorite list I have.

Now if Donna Ladd is reading this I must say, what is up with this? That story was filled with errors as well. 440 years? Come on. I've read enough of your stuff over the last year to know that you are a better writer and editor than this.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
