That's fine, but it's the Girl Scouts that should be excepting gay boys.

If they don't accept boys as members, technically they are excepting them.

The real question is - was this a last-minute, down to the wire oversight that they caught later and thought, "Oh crap, I can't believe we did that!", or was it a case of "let's put these two headlines together on the same page and see if anyone notices"?I am guessing the former. With all the complaints we can make about the Tribune, I don't think they're crafty enough to do something like this deliberately, unless it was a disgruntled employee's last day.
That said, this front page is both FAIL and WIN and the same time.

I find it a tad inappropriate yet funny at the same time.

It was somewhat in poor taste for a newspaper, wasn't it? That seems almost like something that would be in The Onion. This was a "real" (and I use that term loosely) newspaper.
I wonder if they'll criticize those who pointed it out, like they did when someone pointed out that a picture of some girl was showing more cleavage than they might have wanted to print in the paper. It's never THEIR fault, and shame on anyone who points it out.
