Hello,
this appeared on Yahoo Sports:
A newspaper typo surrounding Baron Davis’ herniated disc causes all sorts of laughter - Ball Don't Lie - NBA*Blog - Yahoo! Sports
It shows the photo of a newspaper clipping of a news story in The Charlotte Observer, with part of one word covered with whiteout.
Under the photo of the clipping, it says:
I understood the first part of the above sentence, although the reference to David Caruo's character in Jade was lost on me.
It seems like a Freudian slip/parapraxis.

Davis is recovering from a herniated d**k. (The ** is covered with whiteout)
Under the photo of the clipping, it says:
In case you
still don't get it, a few letters from the word "disc" were jumbled up underneath our tasteful whiteout of a word most commonly used to refer to a member of the male anatomy, or David Caruso's character in "Jade."
