Thirst things thirst, I've seen this billboard everywhere on my Melbourne jaunts, it's blanketed just about every tram stop and train station. I think it looks pretty impressive, almost makes me contemplate contemplating going to see a game of poor standard basketball. But I've got to feeling a bit isolated because no one else has picked up the cataclysmic spelling mistake. I give you... the South DragoNNs. I'd never seen such a huge stuff up like this in my decorated career of looking at things that wanted me to look at them so I wondered whether I was just missing something. Were the Dragons trying to get the urban cool teens in with a variation on the once popular replacing 's' with 'z' or spelling your dog with a double g? But no, it was merely a massive fuck up, as was confirmed on the website with a similar ad but using correct spelling. Surely they have editors, surely they have people who print posters who know how to spell basic fairytale words. Obviously the very in-vogue three lines to one word ratio of letter presentation threw a lot of minds off. There's thousands of these posters around melb and perhaps it is even a heartening example of human error in this age of spellcheck and robots.
