Taking Back Your Bad Advice

Every day I have two google news searches I check out: downtown "los angeles" and "los angeles" mta. Today the top story for the MTA query deals with the rain and taking transit to the Rose Bowl. One of the stories grouped as related is an LA Times piece that google lists as being titled "Going to Rose Bowl Game? Take a Bus and an Umbrella." However if you click the link you'll find a story titled "Going to Rose Bowl Game? Take a Bus and a Raincoat." Hmmm... I wonder if it was a little late in the day when the editors at the Times realized that umbrellas are prohibitted at the Rose Bowl?
