The New York Post didn't manage to work in the late-breaking news that George Carlin died yesterday, but they inadvertently paid tribute to the legendary comedian by putting one of the seven dirty words on the front page. Granted, it's in the character-laden "we didn't really swear" form, but it's still there.
And what exactly is the banner head for the Post today? It's a reference to new Mets manager Jerry Manuel's comment that the team's fans are "fertilizer" when they boo the team. The Post declares, "$#!T HITS THE FANS." Even though the remarks were funny, creative, and most likely true, Manuel has been backpedaling on the comment since he made it, attempting to spin it as something positive. He said fertilizer was a "good thing" before the team played the Rockies.
