I’ve seen this before, and you may have too, but it’s brilliant: Hall of Technical Documentation Weirdness. Not merely bad docs, but genuinely weird docs.
On the subject of strange or hilarious commercial speech (Honestly there’s a tangential connection here) I want to share Fafblog’s review of the Dunkin’ Donuts MooLatte, a beverage whose name Slate derided as sounding too much like the word “mulatto.”
(As readers ought to know, but may not, “mulatto” is considered somewhat disrespectful, (although not as bad as other racial slurs, which I will not even allude to) and is therefore deprecated in favor of the more accurate biracial or multiracial (I don’t know if you can use hyphens in there or not, but I suspect that’s a grammar, rather than sensitivity, issue. I think multi-ethnic gets the hyphen, though.))
Anyway, Fafblog says:
Fafblog… looks forward to the day when all ethnically-dubious desserts are judged by the tastiness of their character an not by the way they seem to judge the color of people’s skin. We can only hope this comes in time to exhonerate such fallen treats as the Jewlato, the Hispana Split, an the Wopsicle.
(I hope that’s funny.)
