I see what you did there, subby.

I was born in the same hospital as him.

/Honolulu Zoo is a dump
//Waikiki Aquarium is even worse
///Come visit and spend money anyway, please

Pierce was born in an aquarium, that's sorta the same.

Some would say he looks & smells like a monkey too.

shidekigonomo: I was born in the same hospital as him.

Nairobi General?

Last I heard British people think Americans are illiterate...

Let's get this over with. The Sun article says: PRESIDENT-elect Barack Obama hugs daughters Malia, ten, and Sasha, seven, after taking them and pals to a zoo near Honolulu, where he was born.

The structure of that sentence indicates that Obama (who will be POTUS, like it or not) was born in a zoo near Honolulu.

That's funny for about 15 seconds.

Ghod, what a bunch of illiterates!

Sentence she shows clearly THEM AND PALS is he who was born in zoo, not the President Elect of our New Innovative Society the Mr.Obama, who will be PENIS, like it or not.

/grandmar notsy

Well, our Lord and Savior^TM was born in a manger so I guess it makes sense.

Guess who owns The Sun

Wow, at first I was like "That's Racist!" but then I saw what subby did and realized, no it was just poor journalism.

+1 from me Subby.

The Sun: Written, edited and read, by goddam retards.

How is this headline 100% fascist? Making fun of bad writing is fascist?

It's like they assign the ratings randomly so they can claim political neutrality. Any headline that doesn't suck on Bush's knob is 100% communist, any one that doesn't proclaim Obama the messiah is 100% fascist.

"a zoo, near Honolulu, where he was born," or "a zoo near Honolulu where he was born" would indicate he was born in the zoo. A comma only after Honolulu makes the actual meaning clear, though.

Man, I wish Obama would up and produce that birth certificate like they asked. Inauguration's coming up soon, and I'm a little worried that...

Happy new year. Aloha.

Meh.

Obama took his daughters to a zoo near Honolulu. Obama was born in Honolulu.

Sun God: Obama took his daughters to a zoo near Honolulu. Obama was born in Honolulu.

Thank you for clearing that up.

doyner: Sun God: Obama took his daughters to a zoo near Honolulu. Obama was born in Honolulu.

Thank you for clearing that up.

My pleasure. It's so important some times

Your oblivious grasp of the uninteresting, yet contextual foundation-forming obvious is truly astounding. Or troll-ly. Or whatever.

Puka dog and shave ice. Mahalo.

Actually a "zoo" (pronounced zoh-oh) is a Hawaiian witch doctor. The doctor in question was born in Honolulu.

So who do you figure whidbey was supposed to be this time, doyner? My money's on darconix.

/get help, whidbey
//you're starting to make skookum look almost sane
///happy New Yeardo, ya weirdo

Dr. Farkenstein: /get help, whidbey
//you're starting to make skookum look almost sane

Whidbey is Skookum. Not sure if that was the point and it went way over my head, but I wanted to clear that up for anyone who didn't know already.

Cromar: Dr. Farkenstein: /get help, whidbey
//you're starting to make skookum look almost sane

Whidbey is Skookum. Not sure if that was the point and it went way over my head, but I wanted to clear that up for anyone who didn't know already.

The bold didn't stick out?

Actually it's saying that the zoo is literally in Honolulu where Obama was born. So, the zoo is actually in the vagina of Obama's mother in the sixties. Quite extraordinary if you ask me.

Well thanks for explaining it. I never would have understood the headline on my own.

That's some fine proofreading there, Sun

well the whole manger schtick was already taken so...

borg: Some would say he looks & smells like a monkey too.

/ducks

That is the ONLY way to sing "Happy Birthday."

/nice one
//happy new year

Well his wife looks like she may have escaped from a zoo.

Phil Herup: Well his wife looks like she may have escaped from a zoo.

man...you are so starved for attention

Between this and the constant dumbass rumours about batman 3... the Sun is starting to turn into shiat.

That's Tzu (new window).


// unless it's a farm.

Thanks a lot SUN, this is how conspiracies get started!

Good find, Subby.

Phil Herup: Well his wife looks like she may have escaped from a zoo.

I wouldn't crawl over her to get to you.

Kenwhat: The comma indicates his birth was in Honolulu, not the zoo.

The sentence structure indicates he's going to a zoo located in his birthplace, not that the zoo itself was his birthplace. The only retards here are the ones criticising the gramatically correct headline as being "bad writing" when there's nothing wrong with it.

Well, I'm sure this isn't the first time you were wrong.

zamboni: Well, I'm sure this isn't the first time you were wrong.

LOL

You are joking... right?

Kenwhat is correct.

jso2897: Phil Herup: Well his wife looks like she may have escaped from a zoo.

I wouldn't crawl over her to get to you.


That's reassuring. Don't worry, I'd be nowhere near her.

Well, it is a poorly written sentence, as both "zoo" and "Honolulu" could each be appropriately chosen as the subject that "where he was born" applies to. It isn't grammatically incorrect so much as it's grammatically ambiguous.

Are we really arguing this?

shidekigonomo I was born in the same hospital as him.

Yeah? I was born in the same hospital as the Hughes Brothers, ergo I have more street cred than you AND the next President

/nobody vacations there

Sun God: Guess who owns The Sun

I do?

HA!

pfft, the "Obama was born in a zoo" theory was depunked months ago.

Everyone knows that Obama was genetically bred by radical progressives in the 1950's. Equally representing 50% militant black rage, and 50% milqutoast liberal white America, Obama is equally a racialy-charged symbol of the iminent downfall of bourgeoisie Caucassion aristocracy, as well as a non-offencive extension of tried-and-true Clintonian values.

Fark Me To Tears: zamboni: Well, I'm sure this isn't the first time you were wrong.

LOL

You are joking... right?

Kenwhat is correct.

Yeah, just bored today. I'm irritating everyone. I've been pro-Israel, anti-Israel, anti- various sports teams. Wherever the wind blows. It's hard to get a rise out of people in a grammar thread, but it can be done.

The guy at the end of the thread: .
