You, I’m talking to you. Don’t pretend you don’t know it. Stop trying to hide your face and look at the ceiling. You know what this is about. And if you don’t – no, stop doing that. I’m not buying it. Of all the irresponsible, utterly ridiculous, maniacally moronic things to do, you get Hitler’s name wrong?
It’s HITLER. Not the coconut-seller who was part of a crowd witnessing Amitabh Bachchan sneeze. Not one of the seventeen people who’re born with Chronic Nose-Digging Syndrome. It’s bloody HITLER. You know, the guy responsible for the largest mass-killing in history. It’s like calling a certain someone Steve the Ripper.
Look, I can forgive the crass tastelessness of your tsunami headlines (‘Burial of Dead: Grave Issue’), but this…
Go stand in the corner, Times of India, and think about what you’ve done. And next time, employ people who can proof-read. Or who haven’t flunked history.
what?????? TOI did this????? what crap!!!

Veda, I know you just wrote this post just for humor….but to give some credit to the poor proof-reader….the person has to check tonnes of copy…it is difficult to keep a track…especially when the content is something prescribed by doctors as a sure treatment for insomnia…and especially when the pay is nothing to cheer about.Besides, how different is Hitler from Hilter from Htiler? A smart mind reads just the first and last character.

Dwaipayan and Mystique: They didn’t. See new post for reference.Art: ROALD Dahl 🙂Caapirighter: I understand the plight of proof-readers. Was in those shoes once. But the mistake wasn’t in the spelling of Hitler. They replaced Adolph with Rudolph. Surely that’s a pretty glaring error? Anyway, it’s irrelevant in the light of the new post.
