I heard of a headline in The Detroit Press that was supposed to say "UAW Talks Shift to Ford" but was mistyped as "UAW Talks Shit to Ford."

Not exactly on-topic since I don't think this was intentional, but here's one from today's Chicago Daily Herald:

"A new law allows bikers to proceed through red lights when censors don't pick them up, but some call it vague."

This is actually just an eye-catcher for the article since the headline is below the front page's fold, but it's stupid nonetheless.

I'm sure you can figure out what it's supposed to say.

Alternate translation: "New law legalizes Getting Crap Past the Radar for bikers."

"Depp's Chocolate Factory Has Delicious Opening".
