Quick: What do donuts and terrorism have in common? A lot, that is, if you are to believe an error made by one Boston newspaper yesterday.
An article from the news and opinion blog Mediaite points out that The Boston Herald mistakenly gave a "Terror Alert" to Canton-based Dunkin’ Brands on Tuesday, with a banner running across the top of the online edition stating "Terror Alert: Dunkin' Brands, Franchisee Group Sign Supply Deal." The Mediaite article mentions that the error was quickly removed from the newspaper's site, but for those of you who would like to see what the page looked like before it was fixed, please look at the link below:
Whoops. Boston Herald Website Labels Dunkin' Donuts Update A 'Terror Alert'
While it was obviously a mistake on the Boston Herald's part, Mediaite states (tongue-in-cheek, of course), that "At least, we think it's an accident. Either that or we all need to start worrying about jelly filling shrapnel."
Thanks to Grub Street Boston for bringing this to our attention.
