In 2009 , '' The Washington Post '' ran a story discussing Public Enemy members ' visit to a center for homeless and displaced youth . The article referred to the song " 911 is a Joke " , but due to a copy-editing error , " 911 " was printed as " 9/11 " , which some readers took to be a reference to the September 11 attacks . A week later , the Post printed a correction
