Bizarre bazaar

Seems a little unfair as far as entertainment goes.

I'd have thought those kids already have enough to contend with.

U R now out of Europe

Since the eighties, the Erasmus Programme has provided foreign exchange options for students from within the European Union.

The marketing people have clearly been impressed with the church banners that read

CH__CH

What's missing?

UR

So much so that they decided to use the same idea with their posters.

You'd think that, after 30 years of working in Europe, they'd at least be able to spell it.

Poopermarket jobs

It's not clear whether these would be your weekly toilet break allowances or the average number of that type of customer you might encounter each week.

Ram it, Ramit

Hi everyone. Back again after a short break. Thanks for still being here.

What we have today is the front cover of an advert sent by email to Jon C by a guy called Ramit Sethi who's trying to sell him a course on time management.

The message might have been more convincing had he managed to spell email correctly.

Missed opportunity

One of Edmonton's municipal development team may well now be looking for a better opportunity somewhere else.

@teej_85

That's Entertainment!

You can't beat it.

Actually, you can beat it.

Or so I'm told.

The bottom line

As Dennis A points out, some poster designers don't know their arse from their elbow.

Wind instrument

This one time, at Band Camp...

Same again

An email from Goofbid landed in my inbox the other other day.

Phyllis Nan Sortain Pechey

Thanks to Greg L for sending in this advert from The Fabulous Bakin' Boys.

Though I'm not sure whether Major Johnnie would have approved.

Say cheese

With the help of a cheery song for a holiday Monday.

Franco-Portuguese relations

As far as I know, and Elf Odin (@ElfOdin) too, enceinte is French for pregnant.

But altofalante is, I believe, Portuguese for speaker.

So how do you get a French pregnant from a Portuguese speaker?

Sounds like Rodrigo has some explaining to do to Monsieur et Madame Dubois.

Headline act

Another page layout disaster; this time in The Liverpool Echo.

High-powered movement

I think it's fair to say that neither the advertiser of the cold remedy on the right nor the writer of the article on the left could have seen this coming.

But I get the feeling that the page layout designers knew exactly what they were doing.

Completely Dottie

I agree with Jon C.

I think it's reasonable to expect that someone who claims to have spent over 25 years carefully dotting her 'i's and crossing her 't's should be more than capable of checking her newspaper ad in the Palo Alto Daily Post equally carefully before it went to print.

Cruz conrtol

Oh look. The US Presidential campaign is getting into a higher gear.

Never mind, Rafa. I'm sure there'll be many more like this from your rivals before too long.

Bested

On a large billboard, the University of South Dakota proves it's the best.

The best at what, exactly?

Apparently, Tena Haraldson, Director of marketing communications and media relations for the university is quoted as saying, 'It happens.'

Though I suspect that's not quite what she said.

Caught martial

As Jon C points out, clearly an awareness of correct grammar isn't one of those traits.

As verified by some of the copy on the home page: 'Martial Arts Lessons for Childrens'

Go compare

I feel like I'm 12 years old again.

I came across this banner ad...

...and thought it might be interesting to go on one of those web sites where I could compare Mycock with some of the others.
