This might be yet another ploy to get on SFist. Failing that: what?

if you rest your fingers lightly on the keyboard and just type randomly, you'll get pretty similar results.

I bet the above is a self-generated version of the ol' lorum ipsum. (nonsense placeholder text)

Plus some really bad (or nonexistent) copyediting.

Holy crap, that's not photoshopped either (just checked my own copy), guess whoever was supposed to find a good quote was lazy that day...

I read this thing every morning and evening on my bus ride to/from work, and while it's great for local news, I can't count the number of times I've considered volunteering my services as a copyreader.

[6] | 05/12/08 03:21PM

Lazy meaning they just did the "alskjdlfksjfjsdjf" thing and figured they'd find something later and forgetting about it...

[7] | 05/12/08 03:24PM

Someone's too lazy to go to lipsum.com I see....

[8] | 05/12/08 03:31PM

You poke fun, but that's more intelligible than some Hawaiian phrases I've read.

[9] | 05/12/08 03:35PM

Heck, it's more intelligible than some Mark Morford columns I've read.

[10] | 05/12/08 03:50PM

It is a message from the mothership to all Scientologists.

[11] | 05/12/08 03:50PM

Loosely translated it means, "I lost me to meth"

[12] | 05/12/08 04:17PM

I am extremely angry at We Are Kevin for making fun of Mark Morford before I had a chance to.

[13] | 05/12/08 04:20PM

ah the joys of corporate cut rate newspapers.....

[14] | 05/12/08 04:38PM

...still better than the chronicle.

[15] | 05/12/08 05:13PM

See? it's integrity like this that keeps the examiner out of the petty struggles of SFBG and SF Weekly.

Rock on, you bastions.

[16] | 05/12/08 05:17PM

@mattymatt
Yup, I seldom pass up a chance to make fun of MaMorf.

[17] | 05/12/08 06:07PM

Ouch. That copyeditor's in trouble.

[18] | 05/12/08 07:25PM

It looks like that is no accident. Looks intentional.

[19] | 05/12/08 10:34PM

I have a printer which sometimes does this when printing PDFs. it's fun to print your credit card statement and have a charge from qwekmxcvj z2n for !@#$^.

[20] | 05/13/08 08:19AM

Umm, that looks phonetically a lot like Glossolalia, aka Tongues. Let me get into the zone and I'll translate it for us all...

...

"We're all going to Hell." Yep, basically that's what it reads.

[21] | 05/13/08 09:15AM

My spell checker translated that to, "sdfkjsad ladkas dasiu asdlijd ad, doidsa dasdsah dlkhkad 9falkd dhladkjj."

[22] | 05/13/08 09:23AM

Who needs The Onion when we have these folks to keep us laughing?

That is not dead which can eternal lie,
And with strange aeons even death may die.

Though, this is the Examiner... are we really surprised by their lax standards and lack of overall quality? People refuse to read the damn thing even when they deliver unsolicited copies.

I secretly believe that the Examiner is just a ploy to make the Chronicle look halfway decent.
