In the lead story in today's Diario Libre, the newspaper writer made a funny and somewhat Freudian slip of the fingers. Hey, we all do it.
Our fingers get so used to doing the same things we mess up occasionally.
This one was funny..
The story is about the renewal of the school breakfast programs, much, much maligned in all the media. It caused the removal of Melanio Paredes the former minister and the appointment of Josefina Pimentel, the new ministress...
Well, the paper is abbreviating the Ministerio de Educaci?n as "MINERD", and the second time the reporter got to the abbreviation, he missed the "N",,,,and it came out "MIERD", which to any Spanish-friendly eye will immediatly become MIERDA, or sh!t (Oh yes!).
Considering all the scandals that the ministry has been through these past two years or so, I just thought this was funny as all get out. Do you?
I mean the hundreds of kids that got sick from eating the crap that they were feeding them is no joke but such a mistake has to be Freudian at some level...
The joys of bi-lingualism...
