Your heading regarding Robert Pattison was disrespectful to Rob and absurd. Leave the guy alone for cryin outloud. I actually go online and look for news on Rob to slam wnat to be reporters like you.
Excuse me, I need to introduce some bad-assery here for the sake of us all--everyone seems soooo frightened of losing their precious stars and as such shun any hint of dissent. Lame. What's the fun of Gawker if you stifle intelligent polemic?
Happy Sunday to you too, pet. Ding-ding-ding + ca-ching:
*"Get your Canadian visas ready..," not "Get your Candian visas ready.."
*"winter soup," not "Winter soup"
* "As the sole proprieter of Jackson's only assassination attempt, I wouldn't expect Jackson to be anything but a Coke fan, either."
*"proprietor," not "proprieter," though it doesn’t matter since the sentence jumped ‘em rails by the time you got to the period.
*Mike Myers, not "Meyers"
*Leven Rambin," not "Levin Rambin"
*Lukas Haas, not "Lucas Haas"
* "the shit? blow?" not "the shit? Blow?" (Jerze housewives item)
*You get a pass on Ashley Dupre (it’s "Dupré") because she’s a foxymoron.
*"..on her man," not "..on her mans." (Chris Rock item, 2nd sentence)
*Cut xtra apostrophe in "Lil' "Lipgloss" Mama," + she spelled the title of the song "Lip Gloss"
* "..during her first day on the job," not "..in her first day on the job.." (Sienna Miller item)
@snugbug: PS: That being said, your Rosh Hashanah fundraiser is a very nice and clever idea. Too bad a-holes like me who used to fact-check for a living caught wind of it.
@mexiback: It's all in good fun + for a good cause!
Because he's a nice Jewish boy, FK issued a fund-raising challenge in honor of the Rosh Hashanah weekend; he'll donate $5 to a NYC charity for every typo/error pointed out to him.
@snugbug: former proofreader checking in, and I'm having to restrain myself on the site lately. they really must not have any editors doing actual *editing* at all.
@saralapua: Brunch is for bourgeois olds with 401Ks. We're all play-jostling in the sandbox, and sipping Bloody Marys while at it. And you're not invited. Ciao, caro!
@snugbug: GOOD JOB correcting the journalism on this Foster Kramer. I really hope he did not waste his money on a journalism degree...he writes like my 10 year old nephew.
@labyrinthine IS DOING THIS: Eh, typos and fact-check errors are to be expected when you oughtta churn out two posts per hour, like a manic squirrel. But FK preemptively deflated criticism with humor and sass. Smart move, boosts traffic, comes across as endearing. Keep him on, Denton.
