The delicious daftness of life

Two delightful blupses. One in an otherwise cogently written article on market segmentation by the Financial Mail's Matebello Motloung. It contains a Freudian slip of note. It's highlighted and I've excerpted it below the main article for closer scrutiny. Below that (blups also excerpted) is the 2nd article with a little twist, from the same edition of the FM. With that one, I'd have assumed that in prison your address was pretty much fixed? ;-)  Thank you, FM, for the smile. An orchid is yours.

If you're going to comment on so-called "blupses" in other media, it might pay to double-check your own work first. It's Matebello Motloung, not Motioung! Also, the use of "skin-deep" in an article on race can hardly be called a "blups". It's a very obvious and self-conscious pun.

Hmmm. Point taken except that: 1] FM has sub-editors, right? I don't and I struggle to see/proof when typing into teeny back-end blog frames. (God, could that be a pun?) 2] Unless you're Matebello, how do you know it's a 'self-conscious' pun? The vibe in your comment is ugly. Intentional? And the anonymous e-mail address? Ever heard of the courage of one's convictions?
