Holy headlines!

BYN oops wire

Great Googley-moogily! Check out this headline from Google News:

From the article:
U.S. military spokesman Capt. Steve Stover said the Holy Shiite tomb was undamaged and there were no casualties.

"We've got our Shiite together," he said. "We were worried the Shiite may have hit the fan back there, but now weve got the Shiites."

He said the military is currently investigating the attacks. "We're going to catch these guys, and then they'll be in some deep Shiite," he said. "The United States military takes this Shiite very seriously."
At least, that's what we're assuming tha article said. The Seattle Post Intelligencer apparently realized that it's not cool to make fun of ethnicities with funny-sounding names, and the headline was changed to "Officials: shrine escapes rocket damage."

Nothing funny about "rocket damage."
