Western Illinois University's student newspaper, the Western Courier, accidentally printed a byline that said "bad motherfucker" on the backpage of Monday's issue. This has, of course, led to a super-duper serious news report, and to an apology from the paper's editor.

"In any newsroom situation, it's a highly stressful situation. Jokes are made sometimes to defuse that stress and make everybody feel a little more comfortable," said the Courier's editor-in-chief Ed Komenda. The byline, according to Komenda, was part of a template that had been in the system for years, and someone had merely forgotten to change it for this issue.

Students had varied reactions on the flub. See if you can determine which of these three would be the funnest to hang out with.

"It's funny, but I'm surprised it would be there," said WIU senior Rachel Gough. "I just thought it was really funny," said senior Caleb Slaga-Schwaiz. "I mean, a bad mother, you know, it's quite a thing to see in your school paper. It really just gave me a laugh." "Accidents happen, but I don't really think it's all that funny actually," freshman Lindsey Ruberg said.
