AND "selection"--they have a highly edited "selection."
A selection is by definition "edited," J. Cooz.
as opposed to "lowly" edited?
ugh. I'm with you decorno.
The collaboration with the Yo Yo maker is enough to drive anyone mad.
Yes, here, here!
By all means, people, listen to Decorno, the voice of taste and decency. Well, maybe not decency, but certainly good grammar.

Yeah, that is a bit over the top. I didn't realize that designing logo's for t-shirts is a craft that needs to be perfected. It's just an ad, but its insulting that a group of advertisers think they can bandy about a few big words and we will swallow it whole.
Not to mention all the CAPS. It's as if Dooce wrote the copy.
The excellent Jules is back!!!
"a great bar where I hung out with JFK Jr. & C.B."
No comment.
A little pretentious don't you think? Or is it desperation. Either all the White House approval has gone to their heads, or they are about to jump the shark.
Um... anon 6:21? It's "hear, hear." And Dana, I can't tell you how awed I am that you used to drink with JFK Jr. and Charles Barkley... er... Chris Brown... er... Chuck Bass!
JFK Jr. and Charlie Brown were a couple?
Amen sister. So freakin affected, I mean WTF does that even mean?
It means:
"We found a sweatshop in Singapore to make these pants for 65 cents a pair. Curate THAT, suckers."
JFK Jr. and Carol Burnett?!
Cougarlicious!
"Curate ...don't decorate"

isn't curating editing?
To: Anon, 8:17...LOL!!!!!!!!
not the best language possible...but they aren't exactly advertising for admissions to grammar school
Anon 1:24 A.M.--
The problem isn't the grammar.
What would you rather they say? I agree that the rhetoric has gotten tired. The biggest problem is overuse. At one point it was innovative and fresh and now it is stale. The creators abandoned it long ago and those with no imagination who depend on others for descriptive language are holding on. Bottom line, someone needs to come up with something new and better that we will all end up hating eventually.
