Stupid Bosses

I work for a daily newspaper as a page designer and editor. While working on the front page of the food section, the features editor hands me a printout of the main photo for the page.

The photo shows a picture of a bowl of gazpacho, surrounded by peppers and onions. I read through the photo caption, checking for mistakes, and discover that the idiot photographer has written the caption to read, “Chef So and So is entering his fresh vegetable GESTAPO in the annual Soup Challenge.” Gestapo. I am not making this up.

And our managing editor still believes the precious photographers can do no wrong.
