Who is this Miss Ippi and why do we care?

thagoat ,

To be fair, that's kinda how they say it down in Missippi

Yep that’s definitely how it’s pronounced there. The second I is basically silent so it could be just 4 s’ in a row

Plot twist: Alabama used to write Southern Mississippi's news papers. Not all of them obviously, but the Mississippi Press was written by the Mobile Press Register. No joke.

Much more likely it’s a doctored photo just to make the joke. Either way, it’s sad.

Unpopular opinion, but the extra "iss" is unnecessary for reading the word, and with this being a newspaper article they have limited headline space.

Clearly this is just efficient debloating of the article title.

tl;dr bot out here taking jobs from journalists

Also, it’s great for grabbing people’s attention. Exactly the purpose of a headline.
