    I don’t get it…

    Blazemore… There are no commas anywhere in that mess. “Life what a beautiful Choice.” Try reading that to yourself with no breaks.

    Doesn’t make pro-lifers look very bright, does it?

    Billboard win. Headline fail.

    Billboard win? In what sense? This is a blog about the English language. It doesn’t matter what you think of the message, it’s just poor writing.

    Can I add in that the capital letters look like they’re not just capitalised, but also a different font size?

    The “c” in choice should also be lowercase, no? Unless they meant to put “Life” on the next line so that it reads,

    what a beautiful
    Life Choice

    But even then… *sighs*

    It’s just not all that FAILy. Leaving out commas and odd Capitalization isn’t particularly funny, just sloppy.

      It made me laugh. I think it’s hilarious when people treat punctuation and capitalization as arbitrary or optional.

        Agreed, anonymous.

    yeah, it wasn’t all that good

    Punctuation: what a beautiful choice. Thanks, mom!

      i think this comment was better then the fail…

    The capital C was probably to emphasize that it is a Choice. Also, as a marketing major I would defitely make sure that whole tagline at the top is on one line, it just looks stupid from a marketing standpoint.
    This one is kind of nit-picky if you ask me, not that punctuation isn’t important.
    Also, when commenting on a spelling and grammar blog, you should probably use than instead of then, Dave.
