Bad song choice! By Jason 06 June 2008 at 1:30 pm 118 views

The Ramones famously sang “Hey Ho, Lets Go” many years ago and many people instantly recognize the beat as soon as it hits the radio.  Sadly, this is a poor song choice when it comes to refering to certian topics (especially if you wanna get clever).

Howard Kurtz, a Washington Post Staff Writer recently wrote a column about Hillary leaving the race for President… the issue?  The title of the article:

Hey, Ho, Please Don’t Go

Here’s a screenshot incase they “fix” it:

Hey Ho, let's not!

For those not “hip” on the lingo… from Bartelby:

Definition: Ho.

Hmmm… yeah, that’s not a good thing.  Let this be a lesson to you writers out there… pay attention to what you’re saying before you let it out into the world.

UPDATE - Looks like they caught it:

Hey Ho, fixed!

Nice catch, guys!  Took a bit of time, though… 5 and a half hours, tsk tsk.
