    Correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think this ad abuses the apostrophe. The computer actually does belong to Radio Shack, so there should be a possessive apostrophe. Right? Just sayin’.

    Funny, I didn’t even notice “Radio Shack’s”, my eye was immediately drawn to the ugly one. I think they should get a bonus demerit for capitalising “Very Best” as well.

    “The Family Chtistmas Gift That’s Functional, Fun and Educational!”

    So it seems that Capitalizing Every Word To Make It Look More Important is nothing new.

    Good grief…
