High Roller busted
Thursday, Aug 18
From the sometimes-funny website McSweeny's Ombudman:
On a less friendly note, one reader e-mailed us a one-line complaint: "Your headline 'High Roller‚' about the quadriplegic student busted for selling marijuana, was EXTREMELY TASTELESS humor!!!" (Monday, A2). The editor responds: "We apologize to anyone offended by the headline. It was written under a tight deadline and should have been taken out." It is always difficult to know when a joke goes too far, because people have different sensitivities about different areas. As long as an apology is sincere, it should be accepted, and the offender should not be given the cold shoulder for a week simply because his sister-in-law has no sense of humor.
