Jersey Shore T-Shirt Apostrophe Catastrophe

My friend Jodi spotted this t-shirt on a recent family vacation to the Jersey Shore.


Two catastrophes in one! This t-shirt is especially close to my heart because my dad, whose birthday was earlier this week, has the patience of a saint. At least I'm not Snooki, but there have been a few truly horrific guys over the years. And that's all I'm saying about that topic....

Thanks, Jodi!

Old Navy College T-Shirt Apostrophe Catastrophes

Syracuse's website report that Old Navy is now selling college t-shirts with apostrophe catastrophes on them. Here's an example from OldNavy.com.


Some of the smartest people in the world go to Stanford, but obviously none of them were involved with designing these t-shirts.

A Van Down by the River

This apostrophe catastrophe-laden van was parked outside my office a couple of days ago.


CD's and DVD's could be OK depending on the style guide, but video's and magazine's is definitely wrong.

Making the Same Mistake Twice

Heather sent me this logo from the local newsletter in Chatham, Illinois, which makes the same error twice in a row.


She also admires the humor in the fact that the paper is called the Village Voice. I'm thinking its articles (or should I say it's articles) are quite different than these.

Thanks, Heather!

Weekend Is

Spotted at a bar in Watertown, Mass., which shall remain nameless.


Unlike Larry David, I don't want to sh*t where I eat.

Is it Friday yet?

Bluffin' with My Muffin's

Judy spotted this ad that has catastrophes in muffin's and jam's. Somehow, sandwiches and cookies escaped unscathed.


I guess it's better than cooky's.

Thanks, Judy!

And She Was with Some Kid Called David from the Garage Up the Road

Here's a somewhat subtle one:



Becca in Montpelier, Vermont, writes, "I'm not sure how perfect something needs to be to be babies perfect."

Maybe as perfect as the song that my LastFM was playing while posting this. Jarvis is a genius.
