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.

 

Llu skskjj ,jjtyykl. GHY!

Ddkksk tjksyuooljsn.

 

you're right. the "ajsdf" looks like some went jerry lee lewis on the keyboard.

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.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

It is a message from the mothership to all Scientologists.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

...still better than the chronicle.

 

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

Rock on, you bastions.

 

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

 

Ouch. That copyeditor's in trouble.

 

It looks like that is no accident. Looks intentional.

 

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 !@#$^.

 

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.

 

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

 

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

 

Comment TKTKTK.

 

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.
