43 Painfully Dumb — Yet Hilarious — Mistakes
This was always my worst fear as a I still laughed at this misfortune. Good thing Amazon hid the item for privacy! This might be my favorite-ever translation error. (They meant "jerk chicken.") Nice. *Snickers.* Their advertising could use some work. I'm so scatterbrained that I'm convinced I'd do this. Finally! A church for atheists! This is an occupational hazard of being named "Curt," I guess. To be fair, they did do what you asked for! Someone didn't think this one through. Where'd she get this shirt? Asking for a friend. And where'd he get this shirt? Asking for an enemy. At least Monopoly's nice and cool! ...Yeah, I don't see that either. I think she's trying to tell you something. Hm, haven't heard this Shakespeare quote! Or this Disney classic! It's common courtesy to let someone know when you're going to shoot them. This teacher also had a sense of humor. No, no, I liked the first one. Well, that got dark fast. Gee, with this NYC heat wave, I'd sure like a pop stickle! Perfect for pride month! At least he knows you have a loving relationship? I feel like they could've saved some space on this ad, but what do I know? What a great ad for a window sign company! Someone forgot this newspaper would be black and white. Why does a drill bit this size even exist? I wandered down aisle 14 by accident! I swear!!!! is missing here, but I can't quite put my finger on it... I'm sorry, heat is doing WHAT? Well, that's a memorable typo. Now that's a headline! a lot of questions. I have a feeling they'll be missing that soon. Hey, this works! Are you my dad? He still gets mail for "Mike Rotch." Hmm, that's not the Texas flag I remember! The Easter Bunny's seen better days. I mean, this looks pretty scary to me. And finally...I can't decide if this was a mistake or if they knew exactly what they were doing here.

I married a convict after waiting 4 YEARS for his release – he got another woman pregnant & that wasn't the worst part
A WOMAN has been left distraught after her husband got another woman pregnant just weeks after being released from prison. Emma Bradford, 33, waited four years for her man to come out of prison, but was devastated by his behaviour following his release. 3 3 3 The Brit, who appeared on US reality series Prison Brides, met her husband Curtis back in 2021, through a prisoner pen pal service. Emma became interested in Curtis' story, as he was serving seven years in prison for carjacking, which she thought was a lengthy sentence given that in the UK, the maximum jail term for this kind of crime is two years. However, romance soon blossomed between the pair, and they began to regularly chat on the phone. After eight months, Emma jetted off the US to finally meet her man, and set herself boundaries, such as to not send Curtis any money. As their relationship continued to grow, Emma became increasingly proud of Curt, and decided to share their relationship on the Prison Brides' TV show. "Curt could not read or write when he went to prison, and now he's got a Master's degree in business," she told the Tamron Hall show. "I'm not proud of his situation, but I'm extremely proud of the man he's become." Keen to make their relationship work, Emma moved across the Atlantic to be with Curt, and the couple even tied the knot behind bars. After four long years of waiting, Curt was finally released from prison, and Emma was ecstatic to start their life together. However, just weeks after being released, her husband cheated on her with another woman, whom he got pregnant. I'm a prison wife Emma was bowled over by the betrayal and was even more shocked when her husband got sent straight back to prison again after just six months. The dark-haired beauty, who got her beau's name tattooed on her hand said that she regrets a lot of her life decisions, and dated the person she thought she deserved. However, she has not let the traumatic experience get to her, and has now relocated back to the UK to start a new life. "I'm living life for me and it feels so good," she said in a recent TikTok video. UK Prison Brides Tracey Bottomley married double murderer Ernest Otto Smith in the US after meeting through a prison pen pal initiative. Tracey, from West Yorks, knew he had been given a life sentence with no possibility of parole Rebecca Short, from Oxfordshire, told her family she was on holiday in the US in 2022. Little did they know she was marrying double murderer Manuel Ovate Jr, who was on death row Paula Williamson, an actress who appeared on Hollyoaks and Emmerdale, married the infamous Charles Bronson in 2017 after they became penpals Karen Charves married Kenny Richey while he was on death row in 2014. He had been convicted for starting a fire in 1986 that killed his ex-girlfriend's daughter, aged two. Karen and Kenny's union did not last and she claimed he was abusive. Naomi Wise, from Essex, married Victor Oquendo, nicknamed Animal, while he was serving a 24-year prison term in a US jail. They split up in 2022 but have now rekindled their romance "Never tolerating anything less than what I deserve again." Emma, (@_efbee) has documented her story on TikTok, gaining thousands of loyal fans. Under a recent post, one supporter commented: "Sometimes these men don't know they have a good woman until they lose us. "Too bad on them. I'm sorry he did that girl!" A second person said: "He did u a favour. You're too good for that kind of treatment , he didn't appreciate you." A third person added: "At least he's back where he belongs."
