Golly, I hope my wife doesn't see your comment. It would totally blow my cover.

No one, but NO ONE, insults the general authorities of the LDS church without consequences. I hope for once that the school and the church lighten up and see it for what it was - an innocent mistake that could be made by anyone - and do what any reasonable person would, and that is to laugh the whole thing off and find more important things to worry about.

That kind of step shouldn't be taken for every error, but this one clearly could have been seen as very offensive to a lot of people. Considering the tight budgets that many student newspapers run on, printing an extra 18,500 copies is not a minor expense. Good for them for detailing how it happened as well; that suggests that they have a strong commitment to accuracy. Well done by the paper in my mind.
