Hilarious Correction

From the Onion:

The UPC code sequence on last week's print issue read thin black line, thin white line, thin black line, thick white line, thick black line, thin white line, even thicker black line, thin white line, thick black line, thin white line. There should have been two thick black lines at the end. The Onion apologizes to everyone who was charged for broccoli.


This is why I love the Onion. It was a really smart joke like this back in 1999 that got me started reading the Onion. One the back page of their print edition was a grocery store ad with the headline: "Attention: Target Demographic!"

I still laugh about that headline.
