Cheesed off

My initial reaction to this was: Whoa. Wait a minute. WTF?

Sainsbury's, you just have to be kidding me.


As if the possibility of buying horse meat balls wasn't enough to put you off these places, they now proudly present Knob Cheese.

That's just... No. No. No. You simply can't market a product with a name like that.

But actually, the 'product' is nowhere to be found on the Internet other than on Twitter and Facebook (thanks, John H) so I'm guessing it's a spoof. And, if you Google the term, you find... well, what you'd expect.

The give away? The missing apostrophe in Sainsbury's. Poor research on the spoofer's part, I'm afraid.

Funny picture though.

But the most disturbing thing about it, fake or otherwise?

It's all sold out.

Glosso-filial

Another blunder from the BBC subtitling team; this one via Twitter.

A screenshot of a father talking affectionately about his two sons.


Perhaps it's a quirky way of describing the younger lad's love of language.

Ooh, thorny

Thanks to Hil J for sending this one through.

It was posted on Twitter by Timothy Barber whose friend photographed it earlier this week in a River Island shop.

River Island

As Timothy tweets: Repellent sexism and incorrect grammar, all in one vile T-shirt package.

But it's for a man, so the thing that really offends him about the T-shirt is its low neckline.

Hopefully its sales will plunge in much the same way.

Horse chestnut

Taken from last month's Albuquerque Journal.


You're right.

It voted Nay.

Bring back the sub

Thanks to Jon C for sending this one which he found via his iPad.


That's one catchy subtitle, guys.
