King of all Typos
Oct.25.06 Filed in: around the
web
Being a designer for how ever many years now I have
made my fair share of typos on various projects.
Thankfully 99 percent of them are caught in the
proofing stage of the whole process and never get
seen in the final product. I just had to point out
this slip up from the back of a video game box,
something I came across over on Joystiq.
The game is called Killer 7 and on the back of the box (of the gamecube version specifically) you will find a URL to the official website, simple enough. Let's just type this on in here and get the low down on the game, maybe some tips or something but wait a minute, this isn't the games website at all! My God! Kids, close your eyes.. what's that damn shortcut to close a window... ah hell...
Yes, the website on the back of the box leads you straight over to none other than a porn site. The games website is not killer7.com its killer-7.com! oops.Seems like the porn industry owns 50 percent of all domain names in existence. If that were me id be laughing all the way to the classified section of the paper... its to bad spell checkers don't check links for porn.
