Fun With Grammar

April 7th 2009 23:27

Just for a change, I thought I'd post some amusingly bad advertising. Well, amusing for Grammar Nazis like myself, that is. Enjoy the pics - and read the bit at the bottom.









And here's a game that not only tests your knowledge of vocabulary, but provides rice for people in need. You can even play it for as long as you like: go on, feed a hungry person!

Oh Spike, please don't get me hooked on that one again! I have fed rice to so many people. I have a novel I'm supposed to be writing you know!

Sometimes I think advertisers deliberately make these mistakes so that people start talking about them and the ad gets noticed.

In Australia, these "mistakes" are often picked up on talk back radio.

Funny collection!

Janet: I guess that might be true. Some of them are just bad, though, rather than funny or clever!
