Big moment in Belo journalism history today: On the front page of today’s Al Dia (our Spanish-language daily), the words “fuck you” appear in a photo caption, uncensored and unashamed.

Of course, the words are in English. I wonder if the DMN can publish swear words, but only in Spanish.

I dunno. Maybe a "fuck you" every now and then is revigorating. Down right, peppy?

Not that I'm saying Belo ain't hip and trendy. Gawd. I'd never say that.

Como esta al dia!
