Has anyone got any examples of newspaper misprints to share?
I remember reading an 'in memorium' column where it said...
'In loving memory of a very dead dad.'
...which seemed a bit blunt but made me laugh even if not the father!

Check Metro and/or London Lite (probably thelondonpaper too, although I don't read it) on any day and you'll find at least one.

Not knowing anything of your strange Canadian sports, how do we you don't have competing teams outshitting each other?
That's the Excrement Olympics you're talking about, they only happen every 3 years, of course some athletes are more regular then others.
Surey the US beats you in producing crap, every time. Hell their President can shit on whole nations at once.
Ours are based on speed, distance and ummmm charisma.
Private Eye produced some books in the 1980s which were a compilation of the best mis-prints, mis-leading grammar etc from the papers. Stuff like...
"Police found drunk in shop window"
"By Popular Request. Star Wars. Final Screening Tonight"
"Unfortunately the drainage demonstration which was to be held at Woodton on May 19th has had to be cancelled due to wet site conditions"
"P.G. Police Say Detective Shot Man With Knife"
"Miss Blackwood 1978 - First Prize £90. Plus the chance to enter Miss Wales"
They're funny books. There is some going second hand on Amazon See Amazon product listing
I think the funniest mis-print ever though, and the example that should be put next to the irony entry in dictionaries, is this story from 2000....
"Teachers have had to take down 48,000 Department for Education posters promoting literacy - because they featured two spelling mistakes."
