World is Fukt, Reports Aussie Newspaper in Massive Blooper

Friday, April 25, 2014
PHUKET: Phuketwan makes no claims to perfection and we try to balance speed and accuracy when news breaks rather than wait three days to provide readers with a historical account.

We are pleased not to have to worry about the complexities of newspaper publication in a medium whose time has come and is now going.

But the Australian Financial Review, with its special Anzac Weekend edition in the state of Western Australia, has set new levels for schoolboy howlers that really signify the end is nigh.

Probably the most truthful headline on the front page!.. Maybe "is becoming" is more true.

Editor Comment:

Phukt Fukt might be more appropriate locally. Lucky it's not true.

It is unusual for such a paper to contain so many front page errors. Someone's future job security may just suffer the same fait come Monday.
Phuket will be ok one day. There will be a lot of headaches, frustration and changing of people's attitude for this to begin. Right now, what's required is still moving in the wrong direction.
