Editorial Policy ================ RALEIGH, North Carolina (IP) - The editorial policy at one of the na- tion's largest newspapers has been uncovered, report researchers from the Legeros Center For Media Studies and Ice Cream Tasting. Speaking at a press conference Saturday, center director Seymour J. Butts an- swered questions about the discovery that occurred last month. "The September 16 edition of 'USA Today' contained a reader response to a September 13 editorial about the surprise profitability of the movie 'My Big Fat Greek Wedding.' The letter is a colorful-- if unremark- able-- rant, notable for the number of difference between the origi- nal and published versions." Speaking to reporters at Pullen Park's Shelter #1, Butts cracked comments on the edition's addition of "con- textual references" and "duh-worthy disclaimers." He also noted the newspaper's excising of any "ad hominem" attacks, adding "how boring is that?" What was submitted: > My Big Fat Greek Wedding is overrated. My big, fat, Greek-American > hand wrote the words "shrill," "ethnically overbearing," and "she's > cross-eyed for [goodness] sakes!" before eventually walking out. > > Coarse is coarse, non-formula or otherwise. > > Michael J. Legeros > Recovering Movie Critic What was printed: > Though already considered one of the most profitable movies in his- > tory, _My Big Fat Greek Wedding_ is, in my view, overrated ("Maybe > 'Greek Wedding' will wake up Hollywood bigwigs," The Forum, Thurs- > day). > > If I had reviewed the movie, my big, fat, Greek-American hand would > have written that the film is "shrill" and "ethnically overbearing." > > Coarse is coarse -- big-budget movies or not. > > Michael J.
