Remembering Nelson A-Rod Mandela

[Capt. Obvious]

Alex Rodriguez always seems to find himself in the middle of everything, most recently the coverage of Nelson Mandela’s death.

During Detroit WDIV 4’s coverage of the death of Mandela, a graphic ran along the bottom of the screen reading, ‘Remembering Nelson Mandela.’

There was just one slight problem.

The photo accompanying the graphic was of Rodriguez instead.

It is uncertain how the mistake happened, as it is quite difficult to confuse a man fighting a
steroid suspension with a man who fought against apartheid.

They're both political prisoners

If they used a photo of Morgan Freeman I could understand.

Oh Zooey, so beautiful, so gorgeous--why, oh why did you have to be so damn evil?

5. That's kinda funny...like offensive/dark humor kinda funny, but still funny.

6. Hey, we're kinda going into bankruptcy here in Detroit ...

... so we have to re-use some of the photos instead of getting new ones.

Sheesh.
