As far as I know, this hasn't come up yet...

On the Daily Show last night, humorist Buck Henry appeared to satirize Rupert Murdoch's recent acquisition of the Wall Street Journal. Speaking as an authority on the robber barons of journalism, Henry observed there were dozens of papers in New York at the turn of the century, including a lewd gag title. When Jon Stewart repeated it incredulously, Henry remarked he was a distributor.

The photo he showed was in fact the newspaper boy photo, with the boy edited out and Buck Henry edited in.

Might not be completely Titanic related, but it was certainly an interesting catch!
