Doesn’t work, jerk. You fool no one.

One of the worst apologies ever.

Have added another Filo credit just to be clear.

Thank you.

Yes — the version without the fence post is the one that won John Paul Filo a Pulitzer Prize. This uncorrected version is considered to be under fair use.

I too love the Case of the Portage Acacian. Nicely solved, all around.

Your use of the original photo from that awful day at Kent State is commendable. It has become commonplace to use the doctored image that removes the fence post from behind the screaming girl’s head. The shot you chose is cropped, but it is the real Pulitzer-Prize winning photograph, and can be credited to (c) John Paul Filo.

By saying “Portage acacian, Portage acacian, Portage acacian” and then asking someone else what they thought it could possibly be. As soon as they said “Portage acacian?” the phrase “poor education” popped out. Experimental linguistic science?

Later, in one of the news stories, someone asked Adamini, and he said it was meant to be “poor education,” so that confirmed it.

That is, that portage acacian = poor education.

How did you figure that one out?
