Does Vin Juice Work for ESPN Magazine?

Read the captions to these pictures. And these are scanned directly from ESPN Magazine, JusTON did not alter these photos.

they did spell chrysanthemum correctly, which is more than I can say for Duce Staley

How did this happen? Apparently magazines use something called FPO (for position only) when designing the layout. They put any words in to hold the space, with the intention to replace them with the correct caption later. That part never happened in this case. Vin Juice did the same thing once, causing several girls to be misidentified as NHL players in the 1996 Wagner High School yearbook.

    We used to do that in college when I worked on the newspaper. Usually, the filler space would say something like "filler space" over and over. But I think one time, a bunch of curse words got into the paper by accident. That was some funny shit.
