Spelling Lessons

By: Mr. Wilson on February 22, 2010
Let's say you're a member of NASCAR's public relations team. You understand that your sport isn't the most well-respected sport out there, in part because your spectators are heavily stereotyped as ... well, not sophisticated folks. So anyway, one day you decide to put together an amusement device. This device is a kid-sized race car that contains a TV screen. Pop in some money and a video fires up taking the kid on a ride. The car even tilts left and right as the vehicle makes its way around the track. It's a nice little distraction for kids that will be placed in amusement centers and shopping malls around the country. Now, given that you don't really want to facilitate the stereotypes of your sport and/or your fans as being unintelligent, don't you think you would thoroughly test and proof-read the device before releasing it? NASCAR's Road Coarse Sorry about the crappy quality of the photo. There's a layer of plastic covered in grubby kid paw prints that sits in front of the actual TV screen. Between that, the angle, and the fact this was shot with a cell phone camera the pic didn't come out so well.

If a kid inside the ride doesn’t know the difference, the parents wouldn’t either. Their reading comprehension is probably at about the same level. Yep, I went there.
