| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01  | Anybody see the story about the ceremony honoring James Earl Jones for helping to keep MLK's dream alive and on the plaque instead of having James Earl Jones' name it said James Earl Ray, the name of the guy who shot MLK. They apparently attribute this to a "typographical error". What a sick world. Typo my ass! "Hey, don't laugh at me too hard! I might coach your child!!!"

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 01 | It's always funny when something like this happens because civil rights people will say that the plaque designers were racist. It's actually happened before. The night James Earl Ray died, a sports announcer mistakingly said in his broadcast that James Earl Jones had died. That was spoken word rather than written down, but funny nonetheless.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | here is the story.. luckily, he doesnt get the award for another few days LAUDERHILL, Florida (Reuters) -- A plaque intended to honor black actor James Earl Jones at a Florida celebration of the life of Martin Luther King instead paid tribute to James Earl Ray, the man who killed the black civil rights leader, officials said Wednesday. The embarrassing mix-up was caused by an error by the plaque's designer, the owner of the company that ordered the plaque said. It was being corrected in time for Jones' visit to the Fort Lauderdale suburb Saturday. Over a background featuring stamps of famous black Americans, including King, the erroneous plaque read, "Thank you James Earl Ray for keeping the dream alive." He was the man who shot and killed King in a Memphis hotel in 1968. King is honored across the nation on January 21, Martin Luther King Day. "We were very upset," said Gerald Wilcox, owner of Lauderhill-based Adpro, which ordered the plaque for the city. "We wanted to find out how a mistake of this magnitude could occur and to try to determine if it was deliberate or not." Wilcox said his company made it clear to the plaque's manufacturer, Texas-based Merit Industries, that the message was for James Earl Jones, the Tony Award-winning actor who voiced the roles of Darth Vader in "Star Wars" and Mufasa in "The Lion King." Merit Industries said the mix-up was caused by a typographical error. "We in no way meant any disrespect. It was an honest error," said Herbert Miller, the owner of Merit Industries  E-Mail Me special thanks to maynard and grumpy for the sig pic and the help posting it | ||||
