Vote for Hold the Front Page's Gaffe of the Year

HoldtheFrontPage is urging everyone to vote in its poll for the best (or should it be worst) Gaffe of the Year by a local newspaper or news website.

The Stratford Herald gets my vote after a sub's jokey "grovelling up their bottoms" headline about a local venue made it into print, followed by an apology blaming it on a "gremlin attack".

Ah, but was it actually a sub who was responsible?

I don't know...I assumed it was one of those instructions from a sub that ends up in print.

Maybe it really was a gremlin?
