Yankees Fact:
Throughout the 1999 regular season and postseason, the Yankees wore a African American number 5 on their left sleeve in memory of Yankees great Joe DiMaggio. …They also wore a African American armband in memory of New York's former pitching great 'Catfish' Hunter.

Depends on what you define as "hot", I suppose.

It isn't, but people will believe it is.

Is that something the Tonight Show dummied up or is it for real? It's funny either way, but funnier if it's real.

Considering it's coming from "www.nbc.com/nbc/The_Tonight_Show_with_Jay_Leno/headlines/", I'd say it's fake. ;)

People like to think PC means "we're going to sue you, hump your wife, take away your guns and voting rights, and throw you in prison if you ever remind everyone that the song 'African Descent Flight Capable Feathered Non-Mammal' was originally called 'Blackbird' by Paul McCartney".

They're wrong and it's funny that they think so, but they're still wrong.

I think it's PC, but in another way. It was probably a program that automatically switched African-American for black and no one caught it in the proofing stage. :)

the first post... African American is used instead of Black when describing the color of the armband.



and for those who don't think that these are real...

and there is actually a place named that and their homepage is here. (http://www.hospital-data.com/hospitals/NIPPLE-CONVALESCENT-HOME-LIVERPOOL.html)

I'm sure they're a wonderful place, and a great help to the elderly... but their name... :D

I admit she has a nice body, but her face is a train wreck...

This reminds of a cartoon in the New Yorker I saw quoted in a book once:

We prefer the term "Blacks".
Which has replaced the term "Afro-Americans".
Which has replaced the term "Negroes".
Which has replaced the term "Darkies".
Which has replaced the term "Blacks".

*sigh* :rolleyes: the point of Headlines is to show mistakes that got past the editor. Mismatched/bad photos and even spelling mistakes in any form of publication.

Still not as good as from the series premiere of "My Name is Earl" where Earl was talking with a guy he used to torment growing up...it turns out the guy was gay, and he made reference to something like that he had never dealt with "a gay" before...but one time after he said "a gay," he corrected himself, nervously saying, "I mean...a homosexual-American."
