So former Stephanie Tanner portrayer and crystal meth aficionado Jodie Sweetin has come out with her autobiography, and though I'm avoiding making fun of it in public in case I never decide I want to do a one-man show reading it, I do have to agree with Dan Hopper at the Best Week Ever.TV (which so weirdly still exists even though Best Week Ever no longer exists on my TV)
Jodie Sweetin Enters Autobiography Pun Hall Of Fame With New Book “Unsweetined”
Admittedly, UnSweetined is a horrible title. But what drove me most crazy (beyond the fact that within the real title they should have doubled the N - because the way is spelled now it would sounds like "tine" or "Valentine" which is less like your name, and granted her name doesn't have two N's but it also doesn't have a "Un" or and "ed" either. But I guess "unsweeten" doesn't have two N's so that would make it more confusing... I'm getting off this train of thought.)
Okay two things drove me crazy. One is explained the devolving parenthetical above. The other is that throughout the BWE.tv post, they refer to it as "Unsweetin" when the cover clearly shows the S should be capitalized Mid-word capitalization is somethign that I am very sensitive about as a McNamara who is far too often a Mcnamara
(The first two unused boxes of business cards sitting on my desk stand as a reminder that sometimes it takes 3 tries to get something right, even if you're told about it once and should have followed the proof you were given; unfortunately this monument is summarily ignored by anyone who comes to my desk to complain. Probably for the best because if I told them what the incorrect business cards were supposed to represent they'd have the crafty comeback: "Didn't we lay off everybody and close our internal print shop two months ago?")
So anyway, since BWE.tv had me pondering capitalization anyway, I realized that it would have been much funnier (to a certain crowd anyway) if it was actually laid out like this:
unsweeTined
(Sorry, either you get it or you don't. Now if you'll pardon me, I'm going to go update my Manhunt profile.)
