Life after subs
While Dr Mumbo is always a little cautious of images that arrive via forwarded email or Facebook sharing, this has been sent to him three times this morning and does appear to be genuine.
If so, it would appear that News Limited’s reduction of sub editors at the Geelong Advertiser is not going entirely according to plan.
Two things: 1) It’s “Fairfax”, not “Farifax” and 2) the Geelong Advertiser is actually owned by News Limited.
1) The Geelong Addy is a News Ltd paper
2) “Farifax’s” – see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muphry's_law
What is more amazing is that Dr Mumbo thinks that Fairfax publishes the Geelong Advertiser. Er, that would be News.
News Limited’s outsourcing?
Hi Scott,
My bad (I originally said Fairfax – now updated. If only I had access to a sub…)
Cheers,

I love articles pointing out sub errors via typos.
“Farifax’s” ??
Well Crikey have run it so it must be true 🙂
Maybe Adele’s got a triply bad head cold. Twice.
