Hilarious typo in newspaper headline followed by apology
NEWS DESK: An English daily published a hilarious typo in their headline in today’s edition. While they wanted to say “SC grants Daniyal 10 days in contempt case”, they wrote “SC grants Daniyal 10 gays in contempt case”. Naturally, this unleashed a storm of jokes in Pakistan.
Take a look at some of them:

Newspaper headline, ‘SC grants 10 days to Daniyal in contempt case’ misspelled as, ‘SC grants 10 gays to Daniyal in contempt case’. How can this blunder, passes by so many eyes & remain un-noticed, ultimately reaching the readers? It is the height of incompetence & stupidity.

Later, the paper apologized and fixed the mistake on their website:
This headline has been fixed on the online edition. It was an embarrassing oversight and we apologise to the readers. #mistakesthatmustnothappen#editingpic.twitter.com/qA2Fy4IP4F
