<p>This is one of those "Woops" moments. BIG WOOPS.</p>
<p>From the front page of CNN.com: Harvard</a> Crimson says Holocaust denial ad published by accident - CNN.com</p>
<p>From "The Crimson":

<p>Between Dr. Gates and this, Harvard is really on a role this year!</p>
<p>How do you "accidentally"publish an ad? Don’t you have to insert it into place?</p>
<p>It’s Harvard- expect the unexpected, I suppose.</p>
<p>Fodder for the Hasty Pudding Award, perhaps</p>
<p>It’s no accident when a newspaper publishes an ad. Some editor has to sign off on that before the ad is inserted.</p>
<p>Having been a school newspaper editor for several years, it’s near impossible to put something in there that you don’t intend to, as mentioned above. That’s just sickening.</p>
<p>I too wonder how such a mistake happens. The response seems well-handled, though.</p>
<p>For something to be “canceled” it had to be accepted in the first place. I am not buying this “accident” excuse.</p>
