F-Bomb Slips Onto Newspaper Page

A curse word that appeared in Thursday’s edition of The Greenville News had quite a few people talking. The f-word appeared in between two paragraphs in a sports-section article from The Associated Press about the upcoming Georgia and LSU game. The word did not reference anything in the article. In a statement on its website, executive editor John Pittman apologized for the word. “We are saddened by this and assure everyone that we will deal appropriately with it,” Pittman said in the statement. “We apologize to our readers and the reporter whose name appeared over the story”/ Fox / Carolina .

Question: Is this humorous to you? Or should the responsible individual be fired?
