most hated

It makes me angry when people who have unlimited resources at the fingertips still manage to get shit wrong.

Case in point, that fucking yogurt or special K or whatever commercial that features Itsy Bity Teeny Weeny Yellow Polka Dot Bikini.

Commercial Lyrics: She wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini, that she wore for the first time today.

ACTUAL Lyrics: It was an itsy bitsy teeny weeny yellow polka dot bikini, that she wore for the first time today.

How fucking hard is it to get the song right? Did they not question the redundancy? This is, I'm sure, an international advertising conglomerate producing these commercials, with countless people involved with concept, casting, filming, editing, etc. Not one of these people thought to themselves, "those lyrics seem a little redundant. Let's make sure they're correct."?

In the 0.6 seconds it took to google the lyrics, I learned the commercial's version was, in fact, incorrect. How does this shit happen? Is no one paying attention?

The worst part is this is the second run of this particular commercial. So even if they eventually figured it out, they decided to fuck it and stick with their mistake.

Pathetic
