Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Thursday, January 26, 2012

A giant, obvious misspelling on a New York City crosswalk has city, utility and school officials pointing fingers, and assuring that none will win a spelling bee.
Even worse, the misspelling is right outside a Manhattan high school, and involves the word "school."
The painted pavement on Stanton Street outside Marta Valle High School reads "SHCOOL X-NG," as seen here in footage captured by ABC News affiliate WABC.

Always a classic.

It's easy enough to accept someone misspelled shcool. You can even accept it happened right in front of the shcool. But to have gone unmentioned for months?

I bet I can somehow tie this to a unoin. I konw I can. I konw I can.

You know if we had more drones over NY I bet that we could've figured this out sooner.

More drones, please.

#3 - unless they were being flown by NYer's.

Shit
You are obviously right
We need to either bring in Federal Agents
or
Foreign Mercenaries

I hear the Indians have our spelling and even our accents down pretty well. Maybe they could fly them from India!

Obviously you've never talked to a customer relations expert with Sirius Radio or Rhapsody Music.

Are you sure this want done by some Chicago teachers and their students?

I have (Sirius/XM). I was activating a new portable SatRad to replace the one that was stolen with my car last November. I came away amazed that everything worked out perfectly, even the waving of the fee to activate the replacement unit, because the rep's Indian accent was so strong I had to ask him to repeat things several times. I was even on the verge of asking for another rep who I could more easily understand.

Zot - I have SiriusXM and navigation as well. I became so angry with the rep because I couldn't understand him I asked for a different one. She was even worse. After going round and round with them I did some googling, started emailing the board of directors and corp leaders. Finally the VP of Sales called me and took care of everything then had his secretary personally handle my situation with several follow up calls over a three month period. Ended up having lunch with both about 6 month later when I took a trip to visit family in NYC.

Once you get past the farmed out jobs overseas doing business in America isn't so bad.

It wud be ez-ir two chaynge da wurd to 'SKOOL' to prevent miss takes agin.

You're kidding. You guys can't come up with better jokes than this?

Unless of course you're actually blaming the school/teachers for something that they had nothing to do with. You do know, yes, that it's the city that is responsible for painting shit like this on the pavement?

Who's joking?
