Piranha Illiteracy Story

Mark200 · 2011-12-14 20:49:04

The new Piranha is out today.. I've been wondering this for a little while: Do you think that the huge collection of spelling/grammar/punctuation mistakes on the front page are a clever play on the headline, or is it a funny coincidence? (Haven't read the other pages yet).

Got to the third page and gave up. That paper is a mess, a terribly unfunny one at that - I could count about 40 spelling and grammatical errors across those three pages I read. Would it have been so hard to use the bloody spell checker?

love the way they couldn't come up with enough content to fill in the back page.
I thought it was pretty funny all the same though.

Pity, it used to be brilliant. There was a huge piece on how pandas are an evolutionary dead end when I was a fresher, thought of it still makes me laugh.
