I hope this is okay, this time. I don't believe anyone's underage; I didn't see it already at Wank Report or Clairvoyant. I'm just going to go ahead and apologize in advance for anything I've screwed up on.

Gamestop makes a goofy spelling error on their display case for Zelda: Twilight Princess. But Heaven forbid Destructoid blogger Faith Naked point that out when she doesn't even know how to spell 'misspell'.

backflip10019 tries to bring logic, and is subsequently ignored.

"I was about to say..."

Faith Naked returns to defend her(?)self.

As writers, you're not allowed to point out spelling errors unless your spelling is perfect. Also, eat my ass.

Apparently, gamers don't care about box art, and we never read the back to see if we'll even like a game before we buy it.

Ross says: "Misspellings!? Holy Christ! To the Elitist Mobile!"

A loyal Gamestop employee thinks 'Gamestop has made its employees look like douchebags and idiots' = 'zOMG I hate those Gamestop douchebags'

Some sterling attempts at humor.

And it's still going.

ETA: And I forgot to mention that I found this through fanficrants.

Yes, well I’m one writer and one idiot. They have a corporate office full of idiots that should have caught this.

Does she really think an entire office is going to look at that before it gets mass produced?

I would think they would have realized the answer is no after the HP: Goblet of Fire poster's grammar error.

Not being a Harry Potter fan, I don't recall hearing about that. What was the error?

It was just missing a comma, I think. They ended up changing it. I don't remember if the issue made the fans wanky or not.

As this is the HP fandom, I'm going to guess that they did wank.

Hell, they don't even think through their new policies before they hand them down to their district and store managers.

They also don't know jack about demographics or advertising. But maybe I'm just bitter.

I thought that was just their Game Informer staff. I really enjoy having to tell my staff that that young Xian mother with the five year old really needs to subscribe to a gaming magazine whose CG-model has her nipples poking out of the cover no matter what. >_< (or likewise, maybe I'm just bitter - the GI honchos did appear to be completely out of touch with the real world when I did finally meet them)

It is stupid, but to be honest...I don't care. Shit happens. This is EB Games we're talking about. When the president mispronounces simple nouns, then I get unsettled.

Oh, for Nayru's sake. Just laugh at the idiocy and get over it. *recalls the time when her synagogue printed out fliers containing the worked "Syngogue."

... and this has what to do with fanficrants? *really not sure why someone would post it there* I mean, I KNOW ffrants brings the wank and all, but... yeah.

No comment on the topic, but your icon wins.

I'm suddenly reminded of a recent news story where a town had to spend 40 grand recalling and reprinting ballots because of one typo where the "l" was left out of "public." If it had been any other word...
