I posted a version of the Cannibal Blogger piece down the page a little, before sending it off to the Guardian. It got held up there by the spam filters — this seems to happen to my copy quite often — so I had to send another version with all the naughty words replaced by square-bracketed euphemisms. They all seemed clear enough to me, and all but one was obviously clear to the sub who did, however, let through the phrase “a copy of the [Mark Steyn] monologues”.
Oh shit. Still, a correction to that will look even more ridiculous than the one that Dan Dennett had printed.
That’s one for the ages. I’m sitting here laughing like an idiot.
Well, I see they have indeed published the correction…
what. Really?
I missed it, since I was in Munich, though several people drew Private Eye to my attention.
Yes, it was on Tuesday, see
