Daily Universe FAIL

April 7, 2009January 15, 2011

Oops, looks like BYU’s Daily Universe made a little boo-boo in the caption, upgrading the Quorum of the twelve to “apostate” status. Hat tip Miguel. BYU News Net explains the error here.

    why is it that TBMs can’t understand the meaning/application of the concept ‘adulation’???

    Hinckley’s heritage: Limited Earrings/No tattoos.
    Warm & Fuzzies RULE!

    Chandelle — I know how you feel. When I posted the above comment, I asked myself “How can I be saying that a spot about Hinkley’s death is hilarious?” But really it’s nothing disrespectful about Hinkley.
