Amusing typo in BYU's student newspaper

[hat-tip to The Friendly Atheist]

So, Monday's edition of Brigham Youn'g University's student newspaper, The Daily Universe, has a rather amusing typo in it...

Now, this isn't NEWS really. A typo is a typo. I know I make them all teh tiem. It sounds like it's a simple case of clicking the first option that came up on a misspelled word. I kind of feel bad for the editor who made the mistake, because surely there are ridiculous amoutns of unwanted attention on him or her now (and it's not like I'm helping). It would be a complete non-issue... except for how utterly amusing the typo is.

Below a photo of members of the Quorum of the Twelve (no, not that Quorum of the Twelve), a caption was supposed to read:
Members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and other general authorities raise their hands in a sustaining vote…
Instead it said:
Members of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostates and other general authorities raise their hands in a sustaining vote…
Heh...

Could that possibly have been unintentional? It seems too perfect to have been an accident. Made me laugh out loud, anyway!
