Reid About It

Disclaimer of not needing any disclaimers: This actually ran in my local paper last Friday. It's not an urban legend.

In the media, newspapers will always have an advantage over television and radio simply because of the large amounts of space they have available for detail, advertising, etc. However, with the new crop of proofreaders growing up on broken English and text messages, perhaps we should get used to seeing articles and advertisements that obviously, no one has looked at before approving.

Otherwise, this car dealership wouldn't be spending big bucks to let us know about their "Anal Year End Blowout."

It may have been a bad year for car sales, but I doubt telling prospective customers to blow it out their asses is going to help business. It sure won't help the upholstery.
