The Typo Eradication Advancement League (TEAL)

A rag-tag team of punctuation-loving vigilantes known as TEAL is roaming the country, cleaning up the mistakes they find on menus, signs and the like.

They just blazed through Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane (with Ellensburg in-between) this past weekend and found that we're all a bunch of illiterates.

(It appears that TEAL founder Jeff Deck is spoken for in the romance department, but I'm still in luff with him.)

The Unmarrying Kind

Russia's Pravda.ru helpfully details the types of women men won't marry in the article, "Men do not marry women like these."

My favorite:

A woman who does not want to get married at all

As a matter of fact, she does. But she keeps on repeating that she does not. For some reason that she cannot explain herself, this type of woman is certain that marriage is a form of legalised prostitution. In addition, she thinks that dropping a pair of men’s socks in a washing machine is backbreaking work for a woman. Is it for feminists?

Here are the other undesirable types of women:

  • A woman who understands everything (too spineless!)
  • A woman who does want to get married badly (too desperate!)
  • A compassionate woman (too nurturing!)

And then the disclaimer at the end kills me:

Naturally, the above-mentioned types of women do not include all kinds of women who are unlucky in their personal life. We do not take into consideration mama’s darlings, unlucky wives and sluts. But any of these can change if they follow the help-yourself principle, because first of all, they are women and everything is in their hands.

Nice.

Fuck you, Russia.

In other Russian news, Vladimir Putin left his wife for the most flexible chick in Russia:
