One of Australia's most prestigious newspapers, the Financial Review, has printed an error-strewn edition.
The front page included dummy headlines, empty space, "three lines to come here", Gallipoli misspelt (twice), and the subhead "World Is Fukt".
A passion for punctuation indeed!?!
The Anzac Day edition is on sale for three days, compounding the AFR's agony. #BringBackTheSubs
The "World Is Fukt" headline presumably referred to yesterday's announcement that Australia's government is buying 58 joint strike fighters at a cost of $24 billion.
AFR editor apologises to WA readers for ‘World is Fukt’ front page - mUmBRELLA http://t.co/EHevRFOjQU
Australian Financial Review Editor Michael Stutchbury apologised to readers in Western Australia, where the edition was accidentally sent to press.
The hashtag #worldisfukt was soon trending.
#worldisfukt is now trending in Australia http://t.co/P15oTtFddX
Readers saw the funny side.
AFR is my new hero. Finally, journalism that tells it like it is #WorldIsFukt
That is clearly going to be the best selling edition of the Fin ever. #worldisfukt
Ahaha it’s real and I have a copy #finreview #WorldIsFukt. Hope person responsible survives - this is very amusing.
I think "World is Fukt" should be entered into the #Walkleys for best headline.
On all fairness, 'World is Fukt' is a pretty accurate headline for almost any story
What exactly was issue with AFR cover? #worldisfukt sentiment seems ok, if dubious spelling. Empty lines for Hockey's speech is rather apt.
