In thinking that the pro-life banners displaying "No 2 Murda" lose all demonstration power...

It isn't hard really is it - to spell a banner properly for a demonstration!?

AIBU to expect such banners to at least be spelt properly in order to maintain the strength of the message being conveyed?

(Disclaimer - this is NOT a discussion of pro life/choice - JUST the banner used!)

Oh dear - it gets worse

The other side of the banner in question says "Babys are blessings"

AARGH save me!! (I know - I could just turn the news off!)

'no 2 murda' is like some bad rap lyric

tiredemma · 27/10/2007 22:21

Alambil · 27/10/2007 22:22

oh god, this is obviously this month's concern.

Suppose it goes to show that illiterates have strong feelings on the subject too.

LittleBellaLugosi · 27/10/2007 22:27

LOL I noticed that

Why would people deliberately spell something wrongly on a banner like that?

Why?

Number Two Murda?

Alambil · 27/10/2007 22:31

LOL number two murda!!

You could be forgiven in translating it as such but it is meant to be "no to murder"

(am sure you know that!)

southeastastra · 27/10/2007 22:32

no they must pass a test, before they dare to protest

onebadmother · 27/10/2007 23:29

I heart right 2 chuz?

LoveAngel · 28/10/2007 09:46

Just highlights how ignorant these people are in my opinion.

MrsSchadenfreude · 28/10/2007 10:28

I misread the "2" as a "Z" and was trying to work out what strange Slav language it was!

CadaverousCorpulentCarmenere · 28/10/2007 10:29

I fear it might be some kind of effort to reach the youth with their message.

Bouncingturtleskulls · 28/10/2007 10:30

yes I too misread that as number 2 murder. So YANBU!

tortoiseSHELL · 28/10/2007 10:32

I read this thread title as 'pro-life bananas' and was very bemused as to why a banana would have an opinion...

Bouncingturtleskulls · 28/10/2007 10:35
