I was reading the latest Phillymag yesterday, and on the letters page there’s one from several former Inquirer copy editors, disputing things Brian Tierney said in a previous issue of the magazine.

“Hmm,” I thought. “I wonder if the paper really did need all those copy editors.”

Consider this above headline the answer.

(And to those who might defend it as a pun, since, uh, people eat rolls and Shrek is fat or whatever, that’s even worse, since it’s a pun that most people would just see as a typo. I’m not even going to touch the point of why there’s an editorial about Shrek.)
