No copy-writer is an island. Despite human nature's tendency to want to go it alone, these pictures illustrate (if nothing else) the importance of having a second or even third set of eyes to look over your work. So, before you go ahead and hit "publish" on your next report you want to double-check your work for typos as well as the occasional racist undertones. We're pretty sure these people wish they had.

 

11) Elizabeth REALLY likes picnic tables.

The first of our entries highlighting the permanence of tattoos. Needless to say if you're planning on etching a foreign language into your skin forever you might want to double-check the spelling. If only it said 'picinic basket' instead of 'picnic table', then poor Elizabeth could claim some sort of bizarre love of Yogi Bear colloquialisms. Luckily neither Elizabeth nor her tattoo artist can read those characters. Here's hoping no one else in Elizabeth's community can either.

 

10) Rachel Ray is kinda batsh*t insane.

One could take this cover in two different ways. Either some poor copy-editor forgot to include some commas or the hard-hitting journalists at Tails magazine finally uncovered the seedy cannibalistic driving force behind one of America's favorite feel-good chefs. If it's the latter, the imagery on the cover of a wild eyed Ray just hiding in the weeds waiting to jump out and snatch stray dogs is quite inspired... and terrifying. I can't wait to peel back that cover and find out whether or not she can turn that pit bull into a 30 Minute Meal.

 

9) Abnormal children need love too.

Not sure if this qualifies as a 'typo' or not, but it is a good sign of progress when little black, Hispanic and Asian children can get the same treatment as the normals.

 

8) REGRET NOHING

Nope. Nohing at all.

 

7) ENROLL NOW!

I'm not entirely sure this billboard gets the point across that the South Bend, IN school district was trying to make. In fact it makes them look downright foolish. After all, clearly not all fifteen of these things can be the "best." Best implies a singular position. If it had said "15 of the best..." that would have been acceptable. But no. Clearly this billboard is flawed. How embarrassing for them.

 

6) Mmm Mmm Good

After years and years of research it's nice to see someone finally capitalizing on the burgeoning slut market out there.

 

5) NBC is pretty racist

More unintentional racism. The episode in question was one in which the titular talk show diva sat down with an ape versed in sign language... we think. Either that or Daniel Carver finally got a job at the TV Guide network.

 

4) MORE Unintentional Racism: Imagine a World Without WHAT?

Ah, this must be some kind of lost John Lennon lyric or something.

 

3) Gotta Catch 'Em All!

Metro's March 14th edition seems to bring to light one of the unspoken perils effecting post-tsunami Japan.  

 

2) NBC Chicago reports the death of beloved German polar bear Knut

A nation mourns.

 

1) Fox News Interviews Nobel Prize Winning Author Elie Wiesel 

Ummm.... congratulations? That sure is one way to look at it... we guess. Fox & Friends quickly changed their chyron to read "Nobel Prize Winner" and the interview has since been scrubbed from their website. No word on whether or not the network actually awarded the Night author some sort of trophy or prize for his achievement.
