Editors? Anyone?

I live in acronym world at work. When you first arrive, you think everyone's ridiculous and elitist and trying to be esoteric with the ridiculous alphabet soup that is flying out of their mouths. Slowly but surely, however, you find that using acronyms is second nature and you're sucked in. It becomes routine.

Every once in a while, however, you find something that catches your eye. I found one of these about a month ago as I was reading through some Japanese news. It was too good not to share. It was put out by Jiji, a press agency in Japan. This is the headline, verbatim:

>>DPJ To Reject Nagata as DIC Head<<

By way of unnecessary context (since I'm presuming that you don't care about Japanese politics), the DPJ is the Democratic Party of Japan, a political party, and the DIC is the Deposit Insurance Corporation. The government was reconsidering making Nagata the governor of the DIC again. I'm not one to make jokes with vulgarity, but this was too funny to pass up.

Where was the editor when the correspondent submitted this headline??

I can't answer that, but I have some guesses as to where he is now:

• Still rolling on the ground of his cubicle, laughing that he got away with this;
  
• Packing up the contents of his cubicle because he got away with it, but only temporarily;
  
• On the streets peddling for money because he didn't get away with the acronym mishap.

Regardless of whether he kept his job or not, he made mine better for at least 30 minutes.
