Struck me funny

I'm not a reporter, and I'm sure this is something they do on all similar blurbs, but this quote from today's Times made me laugh:

Bane flew to South Korea to join Jung and his family at a news conference, which he said attracted 150 media members, including 15 photographers.

"They just snapped away as if it was Halle Berry or something," Bane said. "I don't think we had that big a press conference when we signed Vlad," referring to All-Star Vladimir Guerrero.

Oh, that Vlad. Thanks for clearing that up.
