Another Yahoo headline, another text headache
The story: How The Ring Two cleaned up as the #1 movie of the weekend.
The trigger: A discussion of the poor performance of the weekend's other widely debuted flick, Disney's Ice Princess...
The G-rated skating flick, starring Michelle Trachtenberg, Hayden Panettiere as rink rivals and Joan Cusack and Kim Cattrall as their moms, couldn't land the sowcow. Targeted at tweens on spring break,
Ice Princess averaged a frosty $2,804 at 2,501 theaters. Sweet Jesus. Despite how motherfucking Dick Button may have trained skating fans to pronounce the fucking word through his TV commentary for the last 90 fucking years, you spellthis figure skating maneuver as follows: s-a-l-c-h-o-w.
How I hate stupidity writ large through errors in mass media. Copy. Editing. Impaired. Morons.
(To critique the rest of the excerpt, outside of suggesting that it's about as questionable as Cusack and Cattrall's career moves, would be overkill.)
