Chapel Hill, N.C. — The editor of The Daily Tar Heel said he is investigating after a spoof issue was distributed.
A few thousand copies of newspaper were wrapped Tuesday in a spoof front-page version labeled as the "special anti-racist issue."
"Our paper was wrapped in a sheet mimicking the DTH, with articles about Youth for Western Civilization, Tom Tancredo and racism," Managing Editor Kellen Moore wrote in an e-mail to WRAL. "For the most part, it didn't seem directed specifically at the DTH, although there were a few jabs."
Editor Andrew Dunn said the actions were in violation of the school’s honor code and that appropriate measures will be taken against the person responsible. He wrote a blog about the incident on the paper's Web site under the headline: "We got pranked."

There's little more amusing in life than a self-important college kid. Little do they realize that REAL LIFE is about kick them square in the bee-hind when they get out of school.
Good luck finding a job in print journalism, Kellen.

Any bets on whether charges would be threatened, if the prank issue advocated extreme liberal views? Most people probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference between that and the "real" one.
