    Mr. looks bad in the WSJ as it does in one of the high school papers my company publishes (the school paper uses Mr., Mrs. and Miss when referring to any school employee).

    That being said, Kentucky football has this guy:

    So is it Mr. Mister Cobble? Or just Mr. Cobble?

    For the life of me I can't help thinking of this: "Miss Celie's gonna shave Mister!"

    I'm reminded of the scene in Arrested Development where Lupe the housekeeper is doing Lindsay and Tobias's laundry and pulls out a pair of leopard-print briefs.

    Lupe: "Yours or mister's?"
    Lindsay (sighing): "Mister's."

    The WSJ has no credibility in anything anyway so who gives a fuck?

    Just another tentacle of Rupert's scandal-mag tits-and-ass empire.

    Courtesy titles are superfluous, affected and redundant.

    Oh, it could have been worse.

    His first name could be Skippy.
