WOW.
So that's what all the #washingtonpostcorrections hashtag was about.
Does no one fact check anymore? I was listening to that song in 1991!!
Come on! I was in diapers when that song came out and I knew that!
ummm.....it could be a typo. you know, people add characters all the time.
*blinkblinkblink*
And you wonder why newspapers are failing. SMDH
Looks like somebody believed the hype
OoooKaaaaay...So I guess the real joke in Washington, D.C. isn't 911, it's the Washington Post!
Flavor Flav say ooooowwwwww... wonder who got chewed out over that one..
Hello Ms. Snob. I am a first time reader and I just had to comment on the above captioned.
Not true - I just read the article from the Post and your statement is incorrect. I do see how it could be misinterpreted from an uniformed person and I had to go straight to the source to see for myself. But the actual quote is as follows: Public Enemy has earned notoriety with more than 20 years of politically charged music about fighting the power, challenging racism and declaring that 911 was a joke.
The writer could have been more clear and described it as "the emergency telephone system 911 was a joke."
M3,
That is because the original article has been edited as a result of the correction. That correction is on the Washington Post website. Here's the link:

Thanks exactopposite, for setting the record straight for our new friend.
LMAO! The "fringe" part of my thinking had me wondering just when someone would miss the meaning of that song...which had Flav in classic mode!
