You Want Change America? Well Here You Go! We've Decided To Replace Easter! (we're not a Christian nation anyway)

 Well yes, I suppose I am a happy eater during the holidays. But how is that supposed to convince me to buy a bunch of ceramic rabbits? 

Correction: Unless this sign is hung over an elaborate Easter feast table inviting guests to chuckle at the cheesy, yet somewhat witty pun (and also dive into the food), then I think someone should find that missing "S" and put it back where it belongs. People are going to start saying "Happy Eater Sunday." You know how that goes. Some kid makes a typo and suddenly everyone's saying "pwned" instead of "owned" like it was some brilliant, revolutionary, coined term.

Get Me Some Bread from that Sweaty, Crusty, Old Man

If you've ever been to New York City, perhaps you've seen this place. I believe it is a bakery. This, in my opinion, is a advertisement fail. I've shown this picture to a lot of people and every reaction was the same: "Eww." Exactly. 

Why? Word association. The words "hot" and "crusty" aren't usually associated with delicious bread, which is what the owners of this bakery were going for. Hot makes me think of hot weather and crusty makes me think of a crusty old man. Together, I associate the words with a sweaty, crusty, old man. Doesn't exactly draw me in or stir up my appetite. Also, it would sound weird if a mother sent her son out to run errands and said, "Could you please stop at Hot & Crusty and get me some bread?" Bleh!

Correction: Find a more appealing title for a bakery. Something like Warm & Toasty. Now doesn't that sound better? Heck, even if it were just called Bread it would sound more appealing.

Mystery Flavors

 

Other natural flavors? What does that even mean? That really could be anything. They could have put feces in this. It is technically natural. And doesn't this seem a little repetitive? "Natural Flavor With Other Natural Flavors." Shouldn't just "Natural Flavors" suffice? This is a very questionable food product.

Correction: The correction would depend on the intention. If the first mention of natural flavor is referring to cheddar, than it should say "Real Cheddar With Other Natural Flavors." If that is not the intention, it should just say "Natural Flavors" since we don't even know what the first mention of a natural flavor is anyway.

This is Who We're Trusting to Teach Our Kids?!?

Okay, so this is just unacceptable. This is a poster that is hanging up in various locations at my brother's high school. It's advertising a program available to help students with special needs with their school work. This poses two questions for me:

1). Should someone who can't spell the word "program" be allowed to help kids with schoolwork? and...

2). How can a high school hang a poster on their wall that has a blatant spelling error and not worry about it giving the school a bad reputation? Do they not proof read things before they display them for all too see?

Correction: This is either a careless mistake or the person who wrote it does not know how to spell the word "program". If it's simply a careless mistake, the person who wrote it needs to stop being lazy and proof read before they print out heaven knows how many copies. However, if they simply just don't know how to spell, they need to be fired and go back to elementry school where they will learn that "program" is spelled with an "a" not and "o".

My Favorite Kind of Flavor: The Fake Kind

                                                                                          

This is a product found only at Walmart. Apparently they take pride in the fact that their product is made from artificial ingredients. I never get sick of this. It's a classic example of a sheer stupidity in advertising. On a side note, I love the dumb looking Joe Jonas head floating in the background. Guess someone was too lazy to put the magazine where it belongs and settled on the chip aisle as a good enough spot.

Correction: It is necessary to list that the chip's flavor is artificial.  But don't declare it proudly in large italicized font across the front. Put it in small letters towards the bottom like any sensible advertiser would.
