Correct DVD art for this site, please!


Someone needs to replace the present (4/27/07) poster art on the IMDb site for POF! That's a picture of the box set cover, not the FOXES DVD, and it comes from CAPTAIN FROM CASTILE anyway.

Naaah,that's merely an IMDb shortcut -- inaccurate, but it doesn't really bother me. What DOES bother me is some idiot at Fox Video's art department who inserted an apostrophe into the word FOXES on the box cover! I'd like to see people fired for that kind of language-eroding sloppiness. (And I exaggerate only slightly!)

I'm not surprised, and completely agree! I've seen that type of typo made on several DVDs. You'd think that corporations would require a modicum of literacy as part of their job descriptions. But nothing is more annoying (or ubiquitous) than people writing "it's" when they mean "its", as a possessive. It's all over the IMDb boards and on some DVD covers as well.

God, it's infuriating in its omnipresence!

No apostrophes were misused, misplaced or misapplied in the production of this posting.

Yay!

Here's a copy of the new dvd cover (with the offending apostrophe 'photoshopped' out):

Somebody else will need to get it uploaded to IMDB, however.

Somebody did, and thank you both! (And God bless photoshopping.)
