It looks as though they’ve fixed it, but for a glorious 16 minutes this was the Chicago Tribune homepage. It is self-evidently wonderful, but let’s still talk about just how wonderful it is.

Cat image. Test, test, test, test, test, test, test. Headline test. The cat is a kitten. The kitten is grey. Test, test, test. Updated. It’s like the internet swallowed a Gertrude Stein poem and pooped this out 16 minutes later.

Let’s make all of the homepages this, just for a day. It’d make things better.

Update: Our interview with Chicago Tribune Social Media and SEO Manager Amy Guth about what went down.
