Well done, Fox59.com

I love reading Fox59.com  It's my first stop for news about Indianapolis.  Last night, they ran a story titled "Police department writes ‘popo’ on squad cars to relate with young residents."

It began:
BATH TOWNSHIP, Mich. – In an effort to create a better relationship with their community’s youth, one Michigan department has changed its squad cards to read “popo” instead of police.
Fox59 embedded an image from the Facebook page of the Bath Township Police Department, which showed a squad car with the word "POPO" emblazoned on its side.  Later, the folks at Fox59 realized the image was a photoshop intended as a joke, so they updated the article.  The new title is "Police department jokes about writing ‘popo’ on squad cars to relate with young residents."

Emphasis mine.
