If you're not in Toronto, you might not be familiar with Marty York. Basically, he is to journalistic integrity what Michael Vick is to compassion for animals (topical zinger!!).
I can't hate him too much, though, because his continued employment completely takes the piss out of any argument that suggests mainstream media have credibility simply by definition. But I still hate him a little bit, and that's why it pleases me so much to point out that in his attempt to smugly call out somebody else's blunder in his Wednesday column, he makes his own amazingly idiotic mistake.
"There was an embarrassing, inexcusable blunder Monday at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, where the cover of the game program promoted in large, colourful typ a matchup of the Toronto Raptors and the Charlotte Hornets."
Toronto has a basketball team??? What???

Thanks Marty for giving me yet another reason to read a book instead of the Metro on my way into work every morning!
