Teaming with typos

February 23rd, 2004 · No Comments

I was watching some new trailers on Apple’s Trailers page this week and spotted something a little strange. First of all, you don’t see subtitles in trailers much; you can tell the film is foreign when no one talks in the trailer. Secondly, when you do see subtitles in a trailer, you hope not to see a word misspelled. Does that mean that the subtitle in the film itself is wrong, too? I’d guess so.

This made me think of something else I’d seen on the same page a few weeks before – another big typo, but this time with no homophonic (hey now) excuse. I never saw this trailer in the theater, but imagine seeing the word “stanger” in giant letters. And I don’t think they’re talking about South Africa.
