Indianapolis Star headline this morning: “IU dean upset over Hasbro’s goof on Pyle doll – Box with GI Joe figure of war correspondent says he graduated from Indiana State University.”
Now I didn’t go to school at the Big Campus in Bloomington, but I did major in History at the Similarly Large Campus in Indianapolis, and it does seem pretty stoopid that a big toy company’s research department couldn’t get something this simple correct. Indiana State University is smaller than Indiana University, boasts Larry Bird as its big contribution to professional sports (Bird quit IU because he thought Bobby Knight was too hard to play for), and is in the town of Terrible Huts…er, that is, Terre Haute.
