Why is date suddenly 'th' racist?
 |
| April 22th, 1984 |
First off, said day fell on a Sunday, not Saturday, but what the 'th' is going on with ordinal indicator, as the twenty-second day of any month is followed by 'nd'.
Still, they did get something right.
 |
| April 3rd, 2008 did fall on a Thursday. |
The mind boggles.
Miscellany

| Strangeland "justice was definately not served." I agree Angelic, it definitely wasn't. |

 |
| The Dark Knight Rises POLICE SUSPECT 'CAT' BURGLAR IN JEWEL HIEST |
 |
| The Devil Below Any kind of fire that causes an enviromental disaster deserves the utmost respect. |
 |
| Misery Headline states Anne, but article declares the daughter of Carl and Nancy Wilkes is Annie. Caption under photograph goes one better, as she's now called Annie C. Wilkes. Oh yeah, blurb repeats itself. |
 |
| Ready Player One Article on the left states Mrs. Underwood died after a long battle with cancer and was Fifty Six at the time of her death. As she was born in 1975, this means she died in 2031. However, ignoring the unusual decision of capital F and S, adjacent clipping states she was Fifty Nine (correct). Obituary of Karen Underwood Morrow becomes Karen-Morrow Underwood. Finally, sentence beginning with Karen-Morrow Underwood, wife of Ogden Morrow, repeats until ending with cancer. |
 |
| The Conjuring 2 200 National Front protestors arrested in London Good, but then goes on to say 'More than' 200 protestors. |
You can't have it both ways.
 |
| Texas Chainsaw Massacre MORE BODIES DISCOVERED ONSLAUGHTERPROPERTY! 'Spacing' was obviously an issue. |
 |
| Halloween H20: 20 Years Later Longtime (should be hyphenated) Haddonfield resident Laurie Strode, survivor of the so-called "Halloween" mass murders in 1968, was killed yesterday in an auto accident. What a shame meat of John Carpenter's classic occurred in the real-time year of 1978. |
 |
| The Midnight Meat Train Erika Sakaki is initially described as a 'Local' woman, but is later said to be a 'Metropolis' woman. Amidst odd contradiction, paragraphs frequently repeat. |
Rocky V
 |
| Rocky is now in the management business and doing it very well. |
However.
Again, no issues, but.
See, it's not difficult to spell Pittsburgh.
 |
| A completely different headline copies and pastes the above. |
Sliver

Err.
Wrinkles the Clown
 |
| June 5, 1981 did indeed fall on a Friday. |
Yes Taxi Driver - I'm talking to you.
But in the same article.
And immediately after.
Just WHAT?
But in the same article.
 |
| We magically jump forward in time to 05/11/84. |

| The community of Locust Harbor is in shock and mourning this week after the loss of three teens. Their brutal abduction and murder has taken this town completly off guard and has had a rippling effect all the way from friends and family down to strangers on the street with no conenction to the victims. Strangely, article repeats out of sync. |

| Headline correctly states Rothstein, but article shortens surname to Roth. Among the factors that will contribute to the size of the demand and the military of unions at bargining (not bargaining) tables are early bird settlements. |

| A magazine article begins the same, but omits The. Spinning on. Ace Roth (again) in an interview from his spacious penthouse office overlooking the Tangiers the Tangiers Casino says he is the real behind the Tangiers gaming empire.
