Grammar Cop: Illegal Possession

dainbramage.jpg


Complaint: Misdemeanor placement of an apostrophe after "kids" so as to render it possessive; making said error into an advertising tag line for a law firm; printing incorrect tag line on posters; mounting posters inside subway cars belonging to the Metropolitan Transit Authority of New York.

Defendant: The law offices of Fitzgerald & Fitzgerald.

Report: Officer was trapped in an A-train subway car, listening to a bum's well-rehearsed monologue about having no money (aside from the $2 subway fare, one would presume). Officer noticed the transgression despite the offending tag line being overwhelmed by a horrible photograph and generally unpleasant art direction.

Fine: $175 and tort reform.

there's another one.
Could it be they are fighting for kids 'with brain damage'?
so that even with potentially lethal conditions they are still fighting for the cause.
