"Survivor": Just Becuase

In honor of the new "Survivor" debuting this week, here's a classic gaffe to give people an idea of what to look for when appreciating producer Mark Burnett's attention to detail. And this is no third-rate cable job, mind you, but the #1 show in the country.

CNNMoney's Republican Balk

This just in from CNNMoney--Dems say they reached an agreement, but Republican balk! Look, I know we're in the midst of an economic crisis here, but let's not add to the confusion with hasty headlines.

Original is/was here.

Michael Moore Off Base with Camp Pendelton

I'm sure Michael Moore had the best of intentions when he tried to honor soldiers in this scene from his new film "Slacker Nation," but spelling the name of the base wrong is kinda bush-league. It's Camp Pendleton, Mike. But thanks for the free movie.

"SNL" Pulls a Boner with Weiners

Though this mistake from last night's "Saturday Night Live" is pretty common and probably just another case of a graphics department with no sense of spell checking, we can't believe that nobody caught it in time, especially considering that cast member Kenan Thompson just starred in the 2008 road trip comedy "Wieners."

ESPN brings the hoise Boise!

My friend Pete caught this one on ESPN.com this morning. The Ducks are actually hosting Boise St., but in honor of the overeager headline writer at ESPN who didn't have time to run a spell check, let's hoist a beer and shout "Hoise Boise!" for every Broncos score today. And next week, too. Aw hell, forever.

Original is here.

XBox LIVE's Metallica Death Magnet

Groundbreaking new format to introduce new albums by veteran rock giants? Check. Multi-million dollar campaign to promote said debut in print and video media? Check. Clueless graphics guy who implements the "Download Today" button out of the purview of the copy editor? Whoops.

Runner-up honors go to Country Music Television, who I suppose can be forgiven for not caring as much about things that don't boot scoot (see it here). And a special Flagrancy Award goes to UGO's "Hip Online" for sticking to their guns no less than six times on their review page below. How hip is that?

Give Brady Quinn Some Space

I'm a big Cleveland Browns fan and I look forward to great things from upstart QB Brady Quinn, though I find it premature to accord him the kind of mono appello status bestowed upon tried-and-proven stars like Morrissey, Charo and Jackée.

If-Than Hijinks with "Fever Pitch"

I don't blame the marketing folks at Fox for stumbling on the common "than/then" conundrum in this screen from the DVD of "Fever Pitch" (after all, "than" is used for comparisons, right?), but I still think it's pretty funny.

"Today Show" Trivia For A $1.00

Cap'n Typo Trivia -- Cap'n Typo introduced himself on September 8, 2008 with a trivial "Today Show" cap left over from the 2006 holiday season.
