Turning into Failblog?

ICanHasOldParisIconBackPlz? (although the others can stay, this new one just doesn't look as good...)

If I'd have known they were squishing kids when I worked next door to them many years ago, I might have turned down all those free bottles...now I'm hopelessly addicted. Really bad as I now work at a school.

Of course the grammar would have been easy if they'd just labelled them "Innocent juices for kids".

More to the point, how can they charge so much for 'Kids' smoothies, shouldn't they at least be half the price of the 'Adults' versions?!

Recently gave me a birthday card. She made it herself. She managed to correctly place an apostrophe (It's your birthday).

Shame on you Sainsbury's.

Paris, obviously.

Shop at Asda, nobody there give a shit about apostrophes!

Exactly which juices from innocent kids are we talking about here?

I'm sorry, mine's the dirty Belgian one.

the picture doesn't fit in your new fixed width evil ness place in future crop photo's to fit or get rid of the fixed width (my preferences) other than that it's lovely

but to the point clearly this is just a sign that the world is deevoling back to the soup we all came from.

I personally can't wait until we become a split race of super intelligent race of higher beings and a race of illiterate slaves for us to rule over. ofcourse first we must get rid of the third race of people who seems intelligent until they get public office then they suddenly become stupid i believe they are called politians

I can't wait to use that one at the next meeting I have to go to.

Brilliant. Thanks for enriching my language once again.

For a comment on grammar you may just wanted to have proof read your post.......Capital letters are a godsend in the English language.

I won't complain about the change in format of ElReg because I usually love the content. But this article really is late on a Friday afternoon after a good lunchtime in the pub level of quality.

So someone missed out an apostrophe. Who gives a flying fuck? The grammatical error is endemic. Yes, it pisses a lot of us off, but I fail to see the IT angle. Even slightly.

Have you suddenly started being sponsored by The Daily Mail?

They have also launched a drink called "Thickie". Now when I was at school "thickie" wasn't a drink.... Whatever next? A drink called Retard? One called Guilty Priest Squirt?

Yes, I know I'm going to Hull for that one...

Well if Fat Bastard from the Austin Powers series decides to go on a liquid diet he now knows where to shop....

*applause*

Now, El Reg web-monkeys, please fix the formatting so that the darned piccy is sized properly...

;p

Mine is the greengrocer's one

I believe Mike Groombridge used the wrong Icon, I think he wanted the "Joke Alert" icon and given the poor quality of the new icons he got confused.

That's right isn't it Mike, I mean your comments on literacy and grammar peppered with so many mistakes was a joke, right?

I suppose to the pure, all things are pure; but for the rest of us, the idea of drinking the juices of innocent kids is rather more off-putting than the missing apostrophe, and is indeed the point of the article.

This story is old. This went round the emails about 2 months ago.

My mates is a manger at Sainsbury's and revelaed that they then went and changed it to:

''Innocent Kids' - £2.99

Oh dear. Fail to Sainsbury's too.

Who gives a flying one about the apostrophe? I mean, did you see the price? Bloody hell!

...the deliberate mistake: the mis-spelling of "Sainbury's" in the title of the article was intentional irony, wasn't it?

"this article really is late on a Friday afternoon after a good lunchtime in the pub level of quality"

Agreed.

Aside from the apostrophe incident, while innocent are overpriced at the best of times, this 'kids' version is daylight robery.

And, as has been mentioed, the image didn't fit the layout either.

Cuh!

Self-inflicted downfalls seem to be in vogue: Will G Brown/Nu-Labour or El Reg implode first?

I see now why you needed to make more space for headlines on the homepage.

With solid gold "news" like this, you *really* need the space.

"Grocer Gets Apostrophe Wrong"

in other news: pope confesses to closet catholicism.

Sigh.

when you can collect nectar points on innocent kids juices???

Seriously only a vulgar mind would think such a thing. No wait...

how can they charge that much for juice?? even if it is from innocent kids!

She's 24....

It was my 23rd birthday yesterday! :)

She's 11, not the brightest kid in the world, but damnit, I'm proud she got that one right!

Well, "innocent" is just another way of saying "naive" or "gullible"...

Has this got to do with IT, or anything remotely close to it?

My GOD get a life!

Are you THE Mike Groombridge? (Cambridge, early this decade?)

If not; I'll get my coat, it's the dirty flasher mac, with pockets stuffed with bottles of innocent kids' juices...

Sigh... the story is in Bootnotes. I suggest if you have issues with articles that have very little or nothing to do with IT you give the whole section a miss rather than reading them and then complaining it. Getting all huffy and then polluting the comments section with your inane whines about "How this has nothing to do with IT" gets a tad old.

As a simple guide, the articles with "Bootnotes" above the headline are things you probably want to avoid.

So are they cold pressed and filtered, or solvent extracted, or simply pulped or what ? There is a hint of a technology angle there.

"My mates is a manger at Sainsbury's and revelaed that they then went and changed it to:"

O....M.....F.....G.....! All I can say is that your title was well chosen as you appear to have swigged deeply from the cup thereof.

They would like their news back

Reg, you are wrong. The caption is 100% correct. There is no need for an apostrophe, the stuff is called "Innocent Kids". It's not plural, it's a name.

... but I read the whole apostrophe thing as an ironic misdirection aimed at highlighting the absurdity of a story on tabloid standard giggle-icious faux pas and a not so subtle dig at those folk that take such things altogether too seriously and vent their misplaced spleens webwise ...

The bears have been robbing me blind at the three card monte and i could certainly use a bottle of the Innocent brand fruit juice for kids to quench the inferno of my burning humilliation.
